Hi, I think a question of this kind has appeared before. As both open source contributor and Mac users myself, I have tried many open sources apps and there are a few I find quite essential. Therefore I have curated https://oss.wiki/ to easily find and filter apps based on tech stack and topic.<p>A few apps I can't live without are:<p>- Rectangle: window manager<p>- Pika: color picker<p>- Kap: screen recorder<p>- Insomnia: Rest API testing<p>- Itsycal: calendar<p>- iTerm2: terminal<p>Would love to get to know more apps and I would love to add them to the list to spread the words
