At Applesfera we know that when we release a computer we would like to get the most out of it and what better way than installing apps that make it easy for us every day. So below we recommend some tactics and applications that should be taken into account to uninstall your Mac as it should.
Apps that can be missing on your new Mac
Let's start with the apps that you should not stop downloading on your computer:
Final Cut Pro X
Professional video editors can't stop downloading this app on their new Mac. With Final Cut Pro X it is possible to configure windows configurations in custom workplaces and display the timeline on the second screen or on the Touch Bar (in the case of MacBook Pro users with the Touch Bar). Similarly, the app was recently updated, allowing us to access multiple video formats and a wider range of colors.

It's not always easy to see multiple windows next to each other on a computer, but Magnet offers hundreds of options.

The spark
Of course a good post client can't miss, which is why we recommend Spark. This Mac app is best known for having a design there important emails from real people are visible at the top of the screen, with special emphasis on those you haven't read. In addition, the app only sends notifications of the most important emails to reduce the noise. And best of all, you can download it for free.

You don't know
Although Finder handles the most common file types, such as ZIP and TAR.GZ, macOS does not have basic support for RAR files, which is why it is useful to download applications such as & # 39; Intarchiver & # 39; free support. Also, & # 39; Unarchiver & # 39; It also works for unzip files with extensions such as 7Z, CAB, ISO and BIN.

Google Chrome
Google Chrome is one of the most widely used browsers in the world today and as a result, we consider that Chrome is one of the apps that your new Mac will never miss, as it is a great option for those who rarely use Safari on a daily basis. The good news is that this browser was recently activated by Flash and works with HTML5 on the Internet's leading Internet pages.

On Twitter
If you are a user of the blue bird network, it is recommended to download the official Mac app. The service is free and has a user interface very similar to the iPad app, including functions such as black mode support. Among the highlights of this app are the compatibility of keyboard shortcuts, the new Accounts menu to easily manage multiple accounts, enhanced app stability, among others.

Secrets
Another missing application is the password manager for Mac, which is why we recommend Secrets. This service It has a very light interface and powerful features. First of all, it is possible to automatically synchronize all passwords and application data between different devices thanks to iCloud; It has a self-fulfilling function; password producer; and uses OpenPGP and AES standards to keep up with the strongest security standards in the market.

Tactics to get the most out of the new Mac
After that registration of apps, we go now with some of the tricks available for you to remember for your Mac:
- Ask Siri for help on your computer. One of the great benefits of modern Mac computers is that they may offer to use Siri. This way, for example, you may have to ask a voice assistant to calculate a conversion, or to perform simple calculation tasks quickly, you can select the result with the mouse, copy and paste it where you need it.
- Install emojis anywhere. Emojis have taken over social networking and messaging apps. In macOS you can also use this, unless you have a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar, you should use the shortcut ctrl + cmd + spacebar, so that the menu will appear with all.
- Use the iPad as a second screen. To get this, it's required that you have MacOS Catalina compatible for MacOS, and iPad compatible with iPadOS 13, in addition to having an iCloud session on both devices. With this trick, you can have two screens easily available when you need it.
- Find a lost Mac, even if it's not online. The true idea is that you take care of your property, and especially if it's a new computer. However, if this is the case, and your computer has been infected with macOS Catalina, this device will communicate with another device through Bluetooth, and those other devices will transfer their location via iCloud. This is a good reason to keep Bluetooth running on your computer.
- Sign PDF documents to your computer. If at any time you need to have your digital signature for a document and no longer have it on your computer, you should know that with the & # 39; Preview & # 39; automatically installed, you can create it. To do this, show the Driver option and create it with the trackpad or take a photo of the white paper on which you signed your signature.
- Manage your activities better. To do this, We recommend using Mac desktops, which allows you to be more organized with your affairs, since at one desk you can manage your work tasks, while in another you can manage your own affairs.
- Customize your shortcuts. Although some keyboard shortcuts are already set up by default, it's possible to customize them to your own. To do this, you must go to System Preferences> Keyboard> Shortcuts, select Application Shortcuts install the shortcut you want depending on the application you are in.
- Say hello to repeated videos of Safari. There is nothing as uncomfortable as listening to music on your Mac and suddenly you start to hear a sound you don't know its origin. On Mac you can block them by accessing the settings of the application that is playing them> web pages and selecting the Auto-Play category. Where to choose if you want them to be constantly productive, only those who do not have a sound or block them all.
This is our selection of apps and tips for new Macs. If you have any additional suggestions or are there other apps that you feel are needed for this calculation, We look forward to your comments.
