Despite all of this, nothing has come close to replacing MailMate for me. Nylas N1 is fascinating, Postbox has added some amazing productivity features, and apps like AirMail have made email beautiful. MailMate There has been a somewhat dizzying number of elegant and reliable email clients released/refreshed this year. Tweetbot has kept up nicely, though, and is my default client. Ever since they started shunning 3rd party developers, the latest features of Twitter often require using it despite its shortcomings.

Communication Tweetbot Twitter’s native app on the Mac has been love/hate. Brainwave Studio is a $9 app that lets you build your own sessions with isochronic tones, ambient sounds, and music tracks.

I found isochronic tones, which pulse at specific frequencies like binaural beats, but don’t require stereo headphones. After having my ADHD meds taken away last year, I began a desperate search for ways to compensate. I’ve experimenting with binaural beats for a while. Excellent parsing of online recipes, tagging and rating, and shared shopping lists and meal calendars make it indispensable year after year. Paprika Recipe Manager I never get tired of talking about Paprika, especially because this last year has led to some very serious culinary endeavors for me. Last year’s addition of Apple Watch features has been very cool, but mostly I love it as a time tracking and invoice management system.

Billings Pro I’ve used Billings and now Billings Pro for all of my freelance and sponsorship invoicing for years. Spillo is still the best native client for Pinboard on the Mac. Despite the proliferation of “read later” services and Instapaper premium features recently becoming free, Pinboard remains both my primary bookmarking platform and my “read later” workflow. Spillo I mentioned Spillo in my top picks last year as well. By the way, I settled on Feedbin as my primary RSS sync, though FeedWrangler and Minimal Reader both have their strengths. The bugs are fixed now, but I’d already switched to Reeder and and it’s been great. The standouts: Reeder 3 I’d been using ReadKit as my newsreader for quite a while, but ran into some bugs around the same time Reeder 3 was released.

Any section in this series that contains such apps will have an “obvious list.” The “Obvious” ListĪpps I use daily and don’t function without: I’m going to start with what we’ll call “the ‘obvious’ list.” They’re apps I love and absolutely deserve mention, but that I’ve talked about enough across my various channels that I probably don’t need to elaborate on too much.

Without further ado, part 1: Productivity and Communication.

Probably a catch-all post for the less easily categorized picks.

Productivity and communication apps (macOS).

The posts in this year’s series will include: I’ve done this every year since 2011, and they’re typically some of my most popular posts (among ones that don’t get linked from bigger sites), so I hope you enjoy them. Some new, some updated significantly, some just so useful I can’t help mentioning them. This is part one of some standout apps and products from this last year. That said, my love of apps hasn’t diminished. Welcome to 2017, I hope you had a pleasant ending to a horrible, awful, very bad year.
