As a long-time macOS user, it is always embarrassing when I come across an app that solves an issue that I just accepted as a limitation like a noob.

In the last week alone, I discovered five new apps that made me wonder what I had been doing with my Mac all this time.

Each of these five apps solves a problem I had either given up on or didn’t even realize was fixable.

Let’s get into it.

#1 Beeper — Replace All Your Messaging Apps With One 💬

Here are eight platforms I regularly use to get in touch with people for personal and professional lives, and also for my fun alter ego.

WhatsApp, X, Slack, Discord, Instagram, LinkedIn, iMessage, and Telegram.

Previously, like a fool unaware of the app Beeper, I was using separate apps or browser tabs to talk to people.

Now that I know about Beeper, which lets you connect all these apps and talk to people across them from a single window, making switching apps as seamless as switching tabs, I am never going back to the old way again.

So, I am glad that I discovered this app on a casual scroll on GitHub one day (you know, as one normally does). KeyClu lets you configure a hotkey (the CTRL key in my case) and displays...

I was thinking about a New Years Resolution about increasing keyboard shortcut mastery and this would be a good helper for that. Love hearing have you have it configured.

Subscription day looks good. I checked it out to see if it was meta and had a subscription as well - glad to see its a single purchase app.

My favorite feature is the all messages view that lets you, you guessed it, view all your messages across all the apps in a single place.

This is a game changer having all your messages from every app in one place saves so much time and keeps conversations organized.
