This covers most use cases. -
magnet - Window snapper
hyper.js - high customizable terminal (not only for macos)
unarchiver
etcher - make bootable drives, if you need something like this
itsycal - smart, little calender tool for the menubar -
marcom4597yBrew - With brew you get most of the cli tools you could miss from Linux and can avoid almost any proprietary stuff they want way to much money for :) zsh and tmux
Alfred - spotlight on steroids with powerful extensions
Forklift - norton commander like file explorer cause finder is the worst software ever
Iterm2 - not sure if there are better terminals, but it was fine when I had to use OSX
FileZilla - standard ftp client
There are lot of articles about a Dev environment on OSX, just duckduck it :)
