Free and open source, makes it easy to create designs from scratch, not a constant target of hackers, doesn’t try to up-sell, and has a friendly and helpful forum.

A beautiful, distraction-free writing experience.

Transmit

Fast, reliable and backed by a solid developer.

VS Code

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

Alic

Faster and more featureful than ImageOptim. Also, free.

Affinity

Free, looks good, well-documented and, thank God, not Adobe.

Fast, comes with my Mac, and does a lot more than you might expect.
