What are some paid development tools that you just couldn't live without?

Here are some I use. Some not completely dev related, but used in my workflow:

* Monokai-Pro theme for VSCode * Magnet app in OSX (Can be used to split the screen)

Resharper. Visual Studio is 95% of the way there but living without that last 5% is like dragging my face across broken glass. I truly hate Microsoft's solutions to some of the features that R# offers.

Interesting. Are you in the economics space or what do you use R# for?

No I just do ordinary C#, nothing particularly fancy. It accelerates my workby solving a few small use-cases and providing faster solutions for others. Rider is not bad either, as it's resharper as an IDE.
