  • Midnight — A remarkably well-designed alarms app for iOS. Supports Critical Alerts (so it’s guaranteed to ring regardless of Focus mode, and an awesome “Wake-up mission” feature to make it that much harder to silence for heavy snoozers.
  • Copilot — Perhaps I was one of the few people still using Mint when Intuit announced they’re killing the product this year, but the truth is I’ve disliked Mint for years and only used it out of inertia. When I went looking for a modern alternative, Copilot was highly recommended and for good reason. It’s native on both iOS and macOS, the user experience attention to deal is top-notch, and it’s a delight to use.
  • Infinite Mac — “A collection of classic Macintosh system releases and software, all easily accessible from the comfort of a (modern) web browser."
  • Viewfinder — “Challenge perception, redefine reality, and reshape the world around you with an instant camera.” One of the more jaw-dropping game mechanics of recent years, and so much fun to play.
