I would add, Obsidian https://obsidian.md/ to that list.
What does the paid version get you that free does not?

#42I pay for computer, internet, electricity and paper books.
Which paper books about development are worth paying for?
SICP and at least 3 volumes of TAoCP - for myself.
Any beginner books on JS, Python, Lua etc - for neighbour kids.
The hardest math book which is still understandable - anti-age therapy for brain, works only if to keep solving the tasks from time to time.

#43* https://tableplus.com/ for database access * https://bear.app/ for notes * Skitch for screenshots and markup * Dash for easy docs * Easy CSV Editor ( https://vdt-labs.com/easy-csv-editor/ ) for just editing a CSV file without loading a whole spreadsheet app. * VSCode, Sublime, zsh, iTerm, Proxmox
Bear.app is close to my ideal app, but since it only works on Apple devices, I have a hard time committing to it. The built in Apple-made Notes.app is inferior in almost all aspects but there is a web interface I can use when I'm on Linux or Windows.
Obsidian works well on all systems. It has folders, markdown notes, and cloud sync. Switched to it from Bear because of Linux and quite happy.

I used to use bear but it would constantly override options I’d set regarding things like smart quotes etc.
I use obsidian now, and I really like it.

#50If on a Mac, most of mine have been mentioned...
I would add Better Touch Tool. I use it to launch apps and trigger actions in apps from a global context. I things mapped to the function keys and also presses on areas of the Trackpad. So for example, regardless of what app I'm using at the time, f19 will pop a new iterm window on my monitor that has focus. Ctrl and a numpad key will set the brightness of the monitor I'm using in 10% increments. Pressing (not touching) the top left or right corner of my Magic Trackpad will seek a few seconds backwards or forwards in Spotify. It's useful to control other apps without switching focus from the current app. I've looked into window snapping areas with it which are powerful, but I currently have it set up where a four finger swipe on the Trackpad sends the current window to the left or right half of the current monitor. I was planning something more elaborate, but it's become a reflex now.
Alfred to launch apps by just typing the first few characters. I try to keep my fingers on the keys as often as possible.
Jettison is good for ejecting and remounting removable disks when I put the machine in and out of sleep.
I use an open source utility to limit battery charge level as my MBP is always hooked up to a dock these days.
