the most useful and quality free programs for macOS that you can install on your new Apple

Just as we did with Windows 10 a few days ago, now we bring a small list with some of the most useful and quality free programs for macOS that you can install on your new Apple-made computer, or on your new hackingtosh, if you're more daring .

If something enjoys the ecosystem of applications for macOS it is in good health, both in the Mac App Store and outside it there is a lot of good software that is achieved, and although sometimes it seems that the best is paid, with this list we hope Prove that there are many free alternatives that are worthwhile.

If something is missing in this life macOS is a function like Windows Snap to organize the windows of the desktop, and that is that Split View has no point of comparison in the little flexibility it offers, especially if you want to take advantage of a large monitor size.

• With Tiles you get just that, a window manager that allows you to rearrange them simply by dragging towards the edges of the screen, with keyboard shortcuts or even from the menu bar. Options like Magnet or Divvy offer the same, but Tiles is free and these two are not.

• Another thing that macOS is missing is a better clipboard, similar to the one Windows 10 received recently, one that keeps track of the latest we have copied to make us more productive. The good news is that as long as I don't have it, there is something called Pasta.

Pasta is a replacement for the Mac clipboard that makes our lives easier when copying and pasting. It offers you a history of up to 1000 items in the clipboard, custom collections and customization of the preview grid. All at a keyboard shortcut away: cmd + alt + v (⌘⌥V).

• AppCleaner is from the same creators of Tiles, a small application that allows us to uninstall any program that we no longer want. Tools like CleanMyMac offer this kind of deep uninstall, but for a much higher price than free.

AppCleaner is much simpler, but it does the job. You just have to drag the app you want to delete to your window and the rest is to wait for the tool to find all the related files and delete them.

• If you want a complete all-in-one application to take notes, manage tasks, organize projects, work in teams, create lists, databases, documents, etc. Notion is the multiplatform tool for this. Not only is it free, but it is extremely complete, has an excellent interface and is available for all popular systems.

• DeepL is one of the best alternatives to the Google translator, and recently has a native application for macOS. This offers you the possibility of translating any text within the system with just pressing a keyboard shortcut, natural translations and of very good quality for the fabulous price for free.

• If you are bothered by the accumulation of icons in the menu bar with each new application you install, your solution is Dozer, a small open source utility that serves just to hide them. If you are familiar with tools like Bartender, it will make you happy to know that there is now a free alternative.

• Superbar is another productivity-oriented utility, used to quickly access links, apps or snippets from the menu bar. It's great for things like setting up different workspaces and keeping them organized, and the customization possibilities it offers are almost endless.

• If you are looking for a music player for macOS of incredible quality, with great design, integration with iTunes, Soundcloud, YouTube, Internet radios, support for Hi-Res music and other common formats such as FLAC, MP3, CUE, APE & M4A, You need to take a look at Vox Music Player.

• If you are looking for a free office package with high compatibility with the Microsoft Office and that also looks pretty but it costs nothing, one of the best options is WPS Office for Mac. It includes the word processor, spreadsheets and presentations .

• This is perfect for those who have a Mac but also use Windows 10 on that or another computer. The simple application of Microsoft's task lists, To Do, is free, simple, easy to use and synchronizes across all your devices. Something that will not happen with the notes tool that is already installed in macOS and that only work within the Apple ecosystem.

• If you are looking for a Markdown text editor, or a distraction-free minimalist text editor that allows you to concentrate only on writing, Typora is not only one of the most complete and powerful, but also one of the most beautiful and with more customization options .

• If you are a Twitter power user, you have heard about the famous Tweetbot for Mac, but if you do not want to pay so much for a client of a social network, you can always take advantage of Tweeten, an improved version of Tweetdeck completely free and perfect for users who need many columns

• If you find the state of the MacOS Mail app extremely sad, you are going to want an alternative client, Spark is by far the best free alternative if you are looking for a native mail client. Not only does it offer an excellent user experience, mobile applications on par, but it is also very, very beautiful.

• In case it wasn't obvious, the best multimedia player out there that is free and available for macOS, is simply VLC It is a must to watch videos on your Mac, the only thing that does not play is probably your thoughts.

• And, if you are looking for an app to master them all, you can try Station, which instead of having you install many native apps, lets you manage hundreds of services and web applications from the same place, which not only saves you browser tabs , but time and resources.
