Like with Netflix, no one will ever find interest in all 150, but quite a few of them are great. For a cost of 9.99 USD per month (less for yearly subscriptions), one gains access to more than 150 tools and applications. To resume, this is the Netflix of OsX apps. The Setapp application menu resembles the App Store main menu. I therefore found it useful to list some of my favorite ones here. Strangely enough, most of these applications are not available directly from the Apple store, and therefore require some geekiness to be discovered. In addition, some application developers worked hard to answer the few gaps that exist between OsX and Windows in an office environment. This being said, the Office suite also works perfectly on Macs, while the OsX gestures, stability of Mac computers and intuition of the OsX system make for strong improvements in any workflow. The Notes, Calendar and Tasks applications are also relatively basic compared to what the Office suite proposes. This may be somehow true when looking at the « out of the box » setup of Mac computers, as it doesn’t offer many useable productivity tools, other than the usual Pages, Keynotes and Numbers suite. This brief experience with Windows made me question the common belief according to which Apple computers are best suited for design professionals and individual use, while Windows based machines are better fits for office work. I have recently re-switched to Mac OsX, after one year of Windows use in my work environment. Hello everyone! Once again, today’s post isn’t about watches but is more geeky.
