I have a note saved in Obsidian with every app I install on a new Mac. Unfortunately many of these are paid apps:

• AltTab: switch windows instead of apps (useful for apps with multiple windows open)
• Bartender 4: let’s you hide icons on your menubar
• BetterMouse: lots of control over mouse. Ability to inverse scroll on mouse only and leave natural on touchpad. The right click pan scrolling is great too.
• DisplayLink Manager: let’s you use more than one external monitor on non-pro machines if you have a compatible dock.
• Fantastical: great calendar app if you manage multiple calendars and need to send your availability to people external of your company.
• Greenshot: I take a ton of screenshots
• iStat Menus: puts cpu, memory, network, etc graphs on your menu bar.
• Jump Desktop: best RDP client I’ve found.
• Obsidian: not Mac specific, but an amazing note taking client.
• Raycast: expands your cmd+space with many plugins available. Probably my most used app.
• Rectangle Pro: Better window management including snapping windows to sides of screens.
• iTerm2: Much better terminal app than the stock one.

Currently have about a dozen friends and family I’m sharing with and see concurrent stream counts upwards of 8 during peak. My seed/plex box for public currently hosts them, but it uses gdrive for the storage.

I have a 100tb array at home, but internet in my area is limited to 20mbit up, so I can’t host that many steams. I looked into colocating it, but holy crap prices have gone up over the years for 2u. Only 3 of the dozen places I asked for quotes would even consider less than a half rack.
