My (MacOS) software setup

This document's purpose is to remind me about everything I need to set up in case of a clean system install (I do not like setting up the new machine from a backup as it brings a lot of garbage with it).

Apps

• iTerm2 - better terminal + OhMyZsh
• Alfred (Raycast seems like a great alternative)
• Proxyman (new version of Charlesproxy)
• Postman and/or Insomnia
• ForkLift (for sFTP access mostly)
• AlDente - battery hard capping at 80% charge
• Magnet - window management, great for ultra-widescreens
• Calibre - ebook management
• Brave - browser
• Firefox - it handles much better huge JSON responses than anything else
• CheatSheet - hold CMD key to see app shortcuts
• GitKraken - GUI for GIT, used to be minimalistic and super fast
• Microsoft Office apps 🤷‍♂️
• Spotify
• Private Internet Access - VPN
• Visual Studio Code
• Network Radar - easy peeking at what is in a local network
• Steam
• Ultimaker Cura - 3D printing (slicer)
• Xnapper - screenshots
• Xcodes - multiple XCode versions via GUI
• Stream Deck and Logitech G Hub
• Numi - simple calculator+notepad
• Docker or Podman, or lately Podman Desktop
• Flutter SDK
• Raindrop.io - bookmark manager
• Notion - notes
• Radar - monitor anything in MacOS Menu
• DevCleaner - removing unused XCode stuff

Communication

• Slack
• MS Teams 🤷‍♂️
• Discord (Beta)
• Telegram
• Signal
• Zoom

JetBrains IDE's

• Toolbox
• IntelliJ
• Android Studio
• Fleet

Brew packages

• tree
• trash
• rbenv
• pyenv
• jenv
• fastlane
• apktool
• bundletool
• scrcpy
• wrk
• drill
• maestro
• gradle-profiler
• brew install --cask keycastr

Ruby gems

• bundler

Brave (browser extensions)

• Bitwarden
• Pocket
• Grammarly
• JSON Formatter
• Google Translate
• Reddit Enhancement Suite
• Hacker News Enhancement Suite

Others

• move MacOS dock to the right side
• make MacOS dock auto-hide, use a dark theme
• Install Monokai theme for IntelliJ , VSC, GitKraken
• Font Family: Install Fira Code font and enable ligatures in IDEs. However lately I'm considering fonts almost monospaced as a perfect middle ground.  I also had a good time with JetBrains Mono. Going back and forth on this.
• Make sure the browser, slack, teams... have properly selected audio input/output as well the external camera is working.
• Give permission to everything (ex. Slack and Teams to share screen)
• Configure Ruby using rbenv
• Make sure everything (TBC) is added to PATH:

~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator

• Setup Git with keypair and upload them to Gitlab&Github...
• Consider using a separate git profile for work depending on a directory
• Open XCode and Android Studio, download all required SDK and simulators/emulators images
• Install plugins to IntelliJ IDEs (KMM, JSON to Kotlin class, GraphQL, Flutter, Dart, Compose Multiplatform, Build Variant Matrix, Android Baseline profiles)
• Import Alfred/Raycast workflows, install Raindrop integration
• Git clone your repos ❤️ and build those projects (so next time you have an incremental build and not a clean one), also check if you have all the needed certificates/keys for them
• Add to Preview app your signature
• Add a shortcut to Finder to open any folder in Visual Studio Code

Do not forget to migrate hundreds of open tabs from your old system.
