You can use sips together with iconutil to generate a complete .icns file for your app from a single 1024 by 1024 PNG without any third party software: mkdir MyIcon.iconset cp Icon1024.png MyIcon.iconset/icon_512x512@2x.png sips -z 16 16 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_16x16.png sips -z 32 32 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_16x16@2x.png sips -z 32 32 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_32x32.png sips…

Integration is the primary reason I enjoy using Apple ecosystem. My phone, laptop, tablet and watch all work seamlessly together. I use most of Apple's "built in" applications like Mail, Notes, Photos, etc. with Firefox (instead of Safari) probably the only exception to that.
It’s wonderful when it works. For reasons beyond my comprehension, the Watch unlock for my Mac only works ~10% of the time.

Some of the “not working” cases may be due to the application you’re copying from setting the items as `localOnly`, ex: from a password manager. I don’t have an explanation for other failures. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uipasteboard...
Yes it’s 1Password. I use the very old, iOS only non subscription version 7.something. But I think sometimes it works (copy from iOS paste on MacOS).
Caffeinate is definitely the one I miss most on Windows. Super handy to keep your machine awake whilst some task is ongoing.
Amphetamine has been my go-to app for keeping my Mac alive, especially since Apple tried to remove it from the App Store because, according to [someone?], the name violated App Store rules. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704

In their iOS app, there’s an entry in Settings -> Security -> Allow Universal Clipboard which lets you opt-in to passwords through the clipboard. I suspect there’s something similar on macOS.
`pbcopy` and `pbpaste` are one of my most-loved in the list. Dealing with some minified json, switching to iTerm, doing `pbpaste | json_pp | pbcopy` and having a clean output is _so_ nice.
So much of my Linux use is over ssh from a MacOS client that I've made a `pbcopy` executable that just pipes stdin over ssh to my MacBook to its pbcopy (with a dedicated ssh key that runs this as a forced command). Makes it super nice to be on an SSH session and `pbcopy` some content to my MacOS clipboard!
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, can someone please explain why I cannot use `networkQuality` when zsh is my shell? Is there an alternative for zsh?
$ which networkQuality

Speaking for myself, the first form is more natural- even if it’s a useless cat, because I’m always cat-ing files to see their structure. Then progressively tacking on different transforms. And then finally putting it in whatever I want as output. It’s so ingrained, I’m more likely than not to just write it out that way even when I know exactly what I’m doing from the onset.
If you're using zsh, you can just replace any instance of $ cat somefile ... with $ For bash, this only works if you have at least one `|`.

That said I just checked some macOS system icons (get info on app, select icon, copy, create new document in Preview.app) and they don't seem to be hand adjusted any more.
