Hey apple enthusiasts! im a windows/android user so dont be too mean to me, but i got a macbook pro recently because my laptop kicked the bucket and im a graphic designer looking for a reliable and relatively powerful machine.

ive been reading about macbook stuff and trying to figure out the macOS.

Are there any things you would have hoped you'd known before getting into the macbook game? Or just any apps/ things these computers can do that are unique and cool? basically tips for an apple newb

thanks!

(unrelated but how are more people not mad about 60hz screens for 1700 bucks lol)

I want to also shout out Bartender, Obsidian, and ITerm2. Great apps.

I used to love Fantastical - but since they went to a subscription model I've ditched them. I refuse to rent software. I'm using BusyCal in it's place and it's almost as good. I ditched 1Password for the same reason.

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE an app called Moom. Which allows much more control over the layout and placement of onscreen windows (which sounds like maybe similar to Rectangle Pro on your list).
