Alfred - its workflow feature is amazing and there are so many out there that you will always find something great to use.

Magnet - window management app. I hate that I've to buy a separate app for snapping windows and managing them.. But this is a pretty great and simple app that does what it says and does it well.

F.lux is great for when I'm working on my side projects late into the night. Disabling it at night makes my eyes hurt so much.

iTerm2 - terminal emulator with lots of customisable options. I specifically love that I can use a hotkey shortcut to pull down a terminal window to run some commands and then go back to doing whatever I was doing.

Amphetamine - great small to use when I don't want my Mac to sleep for sometime.

Honestly, Alfred, intellij idea, iTerm2 and chrome/safari are probably my most used apps.

Notes—I haven’t found a better general note taking app and have grown to enjoy using this as its lack of features leaves me focused on just taking notes

Things—makes following ‘Getting things done’ task management easier

Bash, brew, tmux, vim, git, and vagrant.
