It provides excellent tools for vector-based web and app design, and the community resources and extensibility are outstanding. Sketch If Acorn has replaced Photoshop for me, Sketch has replaced Illustrator. It can not only replace Photoshop for most users, it now supersedes it in multiple areas. Why not make it beautiful and fun while I’m doing it? Design Acorn Gus Mueller continued to make one of the best (and fastest) image editing apps even better with Acorn 5. Zen Timer After all the hassles I went through with ADD treatment, getting back into a Pomodoro-ish system was the best productivity move I made last year. Spillo is the best client available right now for my Pinboard management needs. Spillo Pinboard is still how I manage all of my bookmarks, read-later stuff, and web archiving needs. Where iThoughts is my brainstorming app, Curio is the ultimate tool for gathering all of my ideas, including contacts, related emails, task lists, outlines, and more, and making sense of them. Quip has replaced Google Docs and Google Sheets for most of my needs, especially in the areas of shared documents and change tracking.

Fantastical 2 The release of version 2 added a full calendar window, improved natural language recognition, and a whole new look to my favorite calendar app.

Productivity iThoughtsX iThoughtsX (along with iThoughts HD) has become my primary brainstorming app.
#Ithoughts review software#
As usual, it was a great year for software and I couldn’t possibly write up all of the awesome apps that came across my screen, so pardon the omissions. Here are some of my most-used Mac apps that were new or received major updates in 2015. I had drafts started in November, but life happens. Ok, so it’s the middle of February, 2016 and I haven’t published my yearly “best of” lists for 2015.
