Ask HN: What are some good non-subscription Mac apps?

I am up to my eyeballs in subscriptions and would like to know about some apps that use a perpetual license. I am finding that I would prefer to own my apps instead of renting them.

Bonus points if the app is native and even more bonus points if the developer is indie. Here are my suggestions:

- Typinator: https://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/ - Tap Forms: https://www.tapforms.com - BBEdit: https://www.barebones.com

Just thought of another one that I use all the time that fits this criteria:

Nimble Commander: https://magnumbytes.com

SnippetsLab https://www.renfei.org/snippets-lab/

I keep project notes in SnippetsLab. The Markdown support is great and I output really nice looking PDF files when I need to share something professional looking with management.

monodraw - https://monodraw.helftone.com/ like paint but for ascii art

I used it to come up with the new gitleaks logo: https://github.com/zricethezav/gitleaks

What I bought and personally use:

- Things 3
