## Source excerpt

Recently I switched to a new laptop and had to set it up to my likings.This comic describes my setup pretty accurately. My setup includes a bunch of small apps I found over the years. It seems that most people are not aware of these, so I decided to share a list. All of them are free (with the exception of TotalFinder), and if you like them, consider donating to authors.

Custom date formats are supported as well, allowing you replace Mac's clock completely. Spectacle # Spectacle website Simple window manager - move windows around, across workspaces, resize them.
