The 2017 Essential Mac Productivity Apps (TPS129) By Asian Efficiency Team. Brooks and Mike go round-by-round picking their top 10 essential Mac productivity apps. From menu-bar apps to task managers, this is the definitive list for 2017 on a Mac.

A slow Mac is annoying and distracting. It reminds you of its inefficiencies with every single click. But your own productivity is different. Your mind doesn’t let you know you are wasting time unless you deliberately stop and assess the situation.

To become truly productive you need to design an effortless workflow and automate, or at least shortcut, repetitive tasks. While it’s possible to do so with your existing setup, consider our favorite apps (all available in Setapp) to turn yourself into a productivity machine with close to zero effort on your part.

In the following list, we’ll cover setting up your workspace, emails, everyday tasks, as well as writing, searching, and staying focused.

1. Ulysses

Do you keep your notes, documents, scribbles, and thoughts all over the place?

Somehow, we never account for the time we spend searching for ideas we’ve already had before. Sometimes you succeed in finding that piece of paper you’d written something down on three weeks ago, but more often you don’t.

Ulysses was called “the greatest text editor the world has ever seen,” and gives you everything to keep your ideas ready to go at any given time. (And on the go too, with their mobile apps.) It features a focus mode for in-depth writing, well-structured document library, iCloud sync, easy Medium and WordPress publishing, and more.

Ulysses comes free with a Setapp subscription and works on all of your devices.

2. Paste

Productivity Software Mac

How many times have you copied something then copied something else, and then realized you had to paste the thing you copied in the first place? 1,034,323… Maybe more.

Paste is an infinite clipboard at the tip of your fingers. Copy and paste anything any number of times. What’s more, you can copy texts stripped off formatting, sync the clipboard across all your devices, and even share copied items with your friends. In short, your clipboard — solved.

3. Workspaces

When you juggle multiple projects at any given time, nothing can be more time-wasting than reopening all the files, websites, and emails you need to complete a specific task.

Quietly living in your menu bar, Workspaces remembers which resources you need for which tasks and launches all of them in one click. Keep a website open in different browsers? Terminal in the specified folder? Twenty files for research? Configure them in Workspaces once and don’t waste your time setting up your work environment ever again.

4. Lacona

Although Spotlight on your Mac is getting better with the power of Siri, it still ways away from the capabilities of Lacona.

Whenever, you need to look something up, calculate or convert, set up a reminder, search for or delete documents — do so in plain language from a centralized command-line interface. Try once, and you’ll never go about doing tasks the old way.

5. GoodTask

You can’t expect to be productive if you don’t know what you are working on. Post-it notes leave no convenient posterior reference, whereas complex to-do apps require more time than they save.

GoodTask is an optimal solution that keeps you focused on the work to be done. With Apple’s native Reminders and Calendar sync, it effortlessly superpowers your existing ecosystem. Enable Quick Actions for blazing fast task creation, set reminders with automatic repeat, and tag the things you need to do for a convenient at-a-glance hierarchy.

6. Focus

Did you decide to check Reddit for five minutes and found yourself on 11th page an hour later? No judgement. We all have only so much willpower.

Focus lets you create your ideal work environment, blocking distracting apps and websites (even specific pages), so you can stay on track. In addition, you can use a Pomodoro Technique or just create scheduled time windows for when you actually need a distraction.

7. Dropzone

Imagine you get a Halloween treat bag of your dreams – every candy is your favorite. That’s what Dropzone does to your Mac.

Adapting to your work environment, Dropzone packs all the files, actions, and apps of your choice into a custom grid, so that you don’t have to dig around. Drag and drop easily, launch apps right from the grid, and share files with other Macs – it’s all about making things easy.

Super Productivity is an open-source to-do list and time tracking app for Windows, macOS and Linux.

It’s built using Electron but doesn’t require an internet connection (which is pretty neat). And it has (optional) integration with Atlassian’s Jira software.

I hadn’t heard of the app before today. It was recommended by reader Musa M., who explains in an email:

“I have been looking for a good productivity tool for Linux for a very long time, specially one that gives me the option to use it locally since in [my] company we can’t use anything cloud based.”

Naturally I decided to check it out.

Super Productivity, a Cross-Platform To-Do App

Productivity is something most of us aspire too, which is why note taking, to-do and other organisational apps are so popular.

Super Productivity is designed to help you get organised, to break things down in to bite-size chunks that should, with a bit of focus and graft, improve your overall efficiency.

The app satisfies three popular use cases in one centralised app:

Mac Pro 2017

• A to-do list app
• A time tracking app
• A note taking app

It’s core feature set lets you:

• Create tasks
• Add notes to tasks
• Create subtasks
• Global pinboard to add quick links
• ‘Take a break’ reminder
• Daily Schedule
• Daily Summary
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Themes (including dark mode)

I can’t attest to the features that leverage Jira as I don’t use it. According to the Github page you can:

• Search and add tasks
• Create local sub tasks for Jira tickets
• Worklogs
• Adjust tickets status
• Automatic notifications

There’s no built-in synchronization or cloud savers outside of the Jira integtration, so whatever you organise on one machine is only available on that machine.

Overall the feature set of this app is broad enough to suit both casual use, e.g., those of you who just want an actionable list, and the hyper efficient who want to annotate sub-tasks in a list of sub-tasks broken up on a per-project basis.

As far as the interface goes I’m not a huge fan of material design (even on Android) so this app, which is soaked in material design cues, feels a bit clinical and bland for my tastes.
