for the past 17 days I have been holed up in my office not answering phone calls not replying to emails I've been like a hermit counting Mac apps so I could sit here in this chair and comfortably tell you that there are 1 million three hundred thousand seven hundred and sixteen Mac apps available and I challenge you to prove me wrong and it can be tough to find the best apps for your Mac computer so we're continuing the series we started with iOS and Android and I've got what I think is the best and most useful Mac apps available before I jump in though I want to give a huge shout out and thank you to setup for sponsoring this video and making content on the channel possible so a big thing all right so let's start with Daisy disk this one's not cheap it's $9.99 but I think it's worth every penny it's the best app just to clean files on your Mac over time file up start to add up you've got residual files you've got trails that don't go anywhere you want to clean up your computer it's gonna scan all your connected discs and actually show you a picture of what taking up space you can decide whether or not it's worth removing or not and skylights also delete files right inside the app which for me is a big deal we got a Mac with a smaller harddrive this is gonna be a really important one because your computer's starting so this next one is our producer Ralph's actually one of his favorite apps it's called unclutter it's also $9.99 it's really cool for a couple reasons first if you don't like a messy desktop any files that you want to copy you can store this little pull down that's going to come down anything you've copied it's gonna be a record of so if you constantly apply to emails the same thing like we don't give away free phones because you asked you can store all those things there it's a really helpful utility you find yourself opening up like a notepad or a text at a document a lot this is helpful so you'd actually type notes right inside of the other ones let me help you an organization storage and also make your desktop look a little neater unclutter is a really good way to go I think one of the best features of Windows 10 is the Snap feature essentially you drag a window to the side and sort of snap in the middle so you can have two windows open side by side and I wish that would come to Mac I was fingers crossing it would come to Mojave but it didn't but fortunately there's an app called better snap tool it's appropriately named a little bit cheaper here at $2.99 it's gonna do what Windows 10 does but give you a bit more control than that it's generally just gonna give you better window management you could snap one those two corners sides you can do fullscreen obviously you can also customize personal snap areas if you find yourself doing a lot of tasks on one screen or constantly sizing windows it's a really good app to check out so while Daisy disk is gonna do a really good job of freeing up space on our computer I think we've been paired with it is an app called app cleaner and this one's totally free it's gonna help you just delete all those apps maybe you're not using anymore so first it does where you'd expect it completely deletes Mac apps it also deletes the weird files like you kind of get associated with those apps and make sure it's actually uninstalled and it does all this stuff and really simple UI that way anybody could figure out even if you're new to Mac OS alright so the next app is definitely not necessary but when I find myself using probably more than I should as I have one of my conversations in just emoji form it's called rocket and there's a free version and a paid version is gonna cost you five bucks you guys ever used slack we sit here at the office all the time my favorite feature is to search for emojis or add an emoji I just hit a colon and then like smile or rocket ship and those are show up I have to go hunt for it into some sort of submenu this does that but in any window you are typing in it's really nice and if you decide to go for the paid version then you can add in your own custom gifs that you've made and search for them the same way alright so the next step is kind of a confusing name but it's really useful it's called bartender and it's got nothing to do with getting you sloshed if you look at your Mac and your OS menu bar can't do much with it you can hide some of the apps but you can't really reorder them this lets you customize the mac OS menu bar like completely free order all icons you can search menu items it does a lot of those little things for you that gives you more customization that's how your computer looks that the OS itself doesn't give you there's a lot of other stuff too I liked I can make my own hotkeys for stuff that I do all the time you can centers almost in your menu bar you can hide things and find them later just gives you a lot more control for what's there and what's showing so those are the awesome things that bartender does the downside is it's 15 bucks so it's not cheap I think it's worth it but if maybe you don't want to pay 15 bucks for one app you prefer to spend like maybe 10 bucks for a ton of apps then set app is gonna be one of the first things you want to check out set up is a new way to kind of discover over 120 best-in-class Mac apps really high quality developers all in a single subscription it actually it's a lot of the ones that we mentioned this video are available in set app it's a bit of a different model but one I think you should check out especially if you've got a Mac and you're sick of paying for new apps and then paying for in-app purchases so all the apps are gonna be updated there you're gonna subscribe to set up gonna get a folder it's gonna show up in finder you open it up you're gonna see all the icons for the apps that you want to use you get a preview to see what they do double click and let you install on your desktops they're not taking up space while they're there and these are apps that you would owe nearly pay a lot of money for apps you want to try and maybe wouldn't pay money for it you find out that you love so it's ten bucks a month so about a hundred and twenty dollars a year you get a seven day free trial to try and see if you have something that you want so there's like no risk you can download it scale the aspic all I would pay for that and then you're good to go over 800,000 people have already tried it and probably loved set up and now you can do it too suppose that's this it's a great way to get the latest high quality Mac apps right on your computer the only thing you should check out setup I use it I think you should too again link to them down below so listen after 17 days of counting apps I don't want to say it but if you guys want to see a Windows version I'll lock myself in there for probably three to four more weeks that will count all the windows apps that are available if you guys have some favorite Mac apps we didn't check out leave the comments down below we kind of share them with the audience it's a ton of awesome things out there both free and paid be a lot of fun curating this list
