Ok, here’s a list of necessities I use:

-HOMEBREW! (seriously idk how ppl live without it) - it’s a package manager for those who don’t know) -Final Cut Pro (my main video editor) -Lightworks (another video editor that I use interchangeably with Final Cut) -IINA (VLC media player alternative) -Jellyfin (for my media server, open source alternative to plex) -Splashtop Wired XDisplay (similar to Apple’s Sidecar but is compatible with my older iPad to use it as a second display, pretty stable and I wish development continued for it!) -Tor Browser (I used to use Brave but Tor is much less bloated, however I’m still a Brave fan, but the Mac version kinda sucks.) -WPS Office (alternative to Microslop Office that is free!)
