![]() ![]() MultiMarkdown Composer MultiMarkdown Composer is what I’m editing this in right now, and really the only editor I use for Markdown other than Sublime Text. My only complaint is that the iOS version disables my 3rd party keyboards, but other than that, I’m a Quip lover 2. Great change tracking, commenting, and these days it also has spreadsheets and a host of integrations you can stick into documents (like Kanban boards and polls). Quip is simple, fairly friendly to Markdown users, and has an API that’s far more accessible and usable than Google’s. I only use Gdocs when someone else makes me. Quip Quip has entirely replaced Google Docs for me. I whipped up a slide deck in Markdown over a lunch break and presented it from my laptop. Deckset I went to the CMD-D conference as a volunteer, but ended up taking the spot for Andy Ithnako’s talk when he had to cancel. Dev is a great guy, too, super responsive and good looking. Marked 2 Setapp I can wholeheartedly endorse Marked when working with Markdown documents. Bear As the purveyor of nvALT and someone hard at work on a new note-taking app, it’s harder for me to admit than most, but Bear is just really damn good. TableFlip gives you spreadsheet-like editing capabilities for (Multi)Markdown tables, and can live update documents as your table changes. Clever Words TableFlip Possibly the coolest Markdown utilities to come out in 2016, I’m still using it plenty in 2017. Also worth mentioning that ScreenFlow can export animated GIFs these days, too, and does a great job with optimization. David Sparks and I created the every screencast in the 60 Mac Tips series with it. The latest release (version 7) adds a 60fps timeline, text effects, Audio Unit support and more. At this point it’s completely replaced all of my other solutions, except for… ScreenFlow For full screen recording and editing, ScreenFlow has been my favorite for years. It’s quite easily the best tool I’ve seen for recording screen GIFs. Gifox Setapp I hadn’t heard of Gifox until recently, and only discovered it because of Setapp. It also integrates well with Downie, automatically converting downloaded videos for iPad/iPhone/Apple TV. Among these, Permute has become my app of choice for quickly converting both video and audio files without a lot of fuss. Permute Setapp I use a variety of video conversion apps, most based on ffmpeg, which I also use from the command line. It makes updating a full icon set in Xcode a one-click process, and simultaneously outputting 1x, 2x, 3x, and PDF versions of a single image a breeze. Sketch While Affinity Designer is a complete vector solution, I still prefer Sketch when it comes to designing icons and wireframes, mostly because of its amazing plugin architecture (and the array of available plugins), and its superb batch export capabilities. I was never as good at Illustrator as I was at Photoshop, and I’m not as good at Affinity Designer as I am at Affinity Photo, but I do not regret purchasing both of them. It works perfectly for round-tripping vectors to Affinity Photo, too. Affinity Designer is the replacement for Adobe Illustrator. Affinity Photo takes the cake if you’re looking for a vast feature set, a list of capabilities I haven’t even come close to exploring all of yet, and a pretty easy learning curve coming from Photoshop principles (and keyboard shortcuts). I love Acorn (and its automation capabilities), and Pixelmator has always been pretty cool, but nothing has ever been a true Photoshop replacement for me. Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer These 2 apps blew me away this year. If you want something with palette management, though, Sip ( Setapp) is a top notch app and often runs alongside Pochade when I’m coding. ![]() She pointed out ColorSnapper 2, which looks pretty great 1. Via Ashley Bischoff, Pochade is officially not being updated anymore. ![]() Simple eyedropper and color adjustments, and it’s really easy to export a color specification in hex, rgb, hsa, or even Cocoa colors (NSColor, CGColor, UIColor). Pretty Pictures Pochade 2 Pochade is still the ideal color picker for me in most cases. Don’t be offended if your favorite app (or the app you develop) isn’t here, but feel free to add recommendations in the comments! ![]() It’s the highlights from the ones I use the most often. Standard disclaimer: this is not a complete list of every cool app I use. For many of us, creating is the same as working, but I’ll make a distinction for the sake of categorization.Īpps in this list that are also available on Setapp are marked with the Setapp logo: ![]()
