If anyone knows of one I’d love to hear about it… Google responses to my queries speak only of the same frustration from other geeks. I’ve been dying for a Safari version so I can make the switch because it’s so darned useful. It’s ABSOLUTELY the greatest add-on EVER and has kept me from using Safari for about a decade, despite all things Apple otherwise. You can then open a new tab or not, your choice. Imagine a list of Google responses or Amazon products and being able to peruse each one, one at a time going down the list until an appropriate answer shows up. It allows the user to hover on a link, a tiny icon shows up and hovering on that little blue dot opens a window about one-third the size of my display allowing complete access to the entire link without ever having to leave the original page. Love the setup but I don’t use Safari because of a Firefox Add-On (that’s soon to be phased out by Yahoo idiots from beyond Pluto). Now it’s your turn! Send us your Mac setups, go here to get started! Or, you can browse through previously featured workstations here. Not only can I access those desktop items on my Dropbox app in iOS, it real-time syncs files when I add or remove them to any of my desktops – it’s crazy easy and so time-saving. The latest hack I just implemented is to use Dropbox to sync my multiple Mac desktops – I love it. Bartender is a no-brainer app to organize my cluttered menu bars.

My favorite app on the iPad is StatusBoard – we use it to track server stats, in-depth website stats w/ GoSquared, and much more. We also use Teamviewer for client support.

Mac ID is a cool app for Mac & iPhone that keeps security tight – locking my Macs when I walk away, and unlocking when I come back.ĪirConnect and Air Login (Mac & iOS) from Avatron Software is what I use to make it super easy to log into any one of my Macs remotely from another Mac or iPhone. iStat Menus, Boom 2, Snippets, ColorSnapper & 1Password are always open, and Dropbox keeps our whole company sharing files easily with each other and clients. Some cool apps I use on my Macs are Bartender & Hazel – love them. QuickBooks Online and it’s corresponding Mac app makes it easy to manage our books. Skype is used by the whole team for easy communicating – as well as with clients. We use Direct Mail for Mac for our client email list management, and couldn’t do without it! Adobe Photoshop CS6 is our go-to app for graphic work, as well. With Handoff, it’s nice and easy to seamlessly switch between devices, and I use that a ton. The usual core apps like Mail, iTunes, iCal & Safari are always open.

Transmit (both Mac and iOS) is the best FTP client we’ve seen and the whole staff uses it daily along with TextMate for easy coding & file management. What are some of your essential Mac and iOS apps? The battery life on both my MacBook Pro & iPhone 6S Plus are amazing – never have to worry about charging the entire day. The simple clean desk layout makes it easy to concentrate, and I love being able to either sit or stand at the desk whenever I want – makes for a more comfortable work day. I love my dual display setup – each app has its own desktop, and I have hotkeys set up, making it super easy to multi-task. My gear is used for web development and testing, tons of emails & project management, some PHP programming – of course, server management, CRM management and more. What do you use your Apple gear for? Why did you go with this particular setup? We provide digital solutions for our business clients and develop a few web apps as well.
