Dropbar - great place to stick stuff temporarily.

It’s really nice having them a keystroke away, and that they will go away with the same keystroke. Shift+Butterfly for Bear, Ctrl+Butterfly for Ulysses. For example, the ‘butterfly’ key on my keyboard opens Agenda, or hides the window if it’s already open - that is, it acts like a toggle.

Keyboard Maestro - I’ve created a lot of shortcuts and tool palettes to help me use applications more efficiently.

Weekly reports, and goals for categories, like ‘less than two hours per day on social media’. Pops up a window asking what I’ve been doing if I’ve been away.

Rescue Time - monitors what I’m doing on the computer.

Also creates shortcut places at screen edges to resize windows. Shortcut keys allow you to move a window to the left half of the screen, left 1/3, lower half, etc.

Magnet - a really awesome window manager.

Hazel - waiting to move PDFs from Downloads to my Bookends import folder.

Sharing preferences (blacked out, as everything is off).

Also waiting to help clean up any files left behind when I delete an app.

Clean My Mac - waiting to clean some disc space, also keeping an eye out for hung applications.

Backs up my research data, cloud data (some of it anyway), and dropbox data to an external SSD. Carbon Copy Cloner - just hanging out waiting to back something up when I connect an external drive I’ve set up.Location Services - Calendar needs to know where I am for some reason.iStat Menus - overview of system activity etc.

CleanMyDrive2 - can remove junk from external drives, allows quickly ejecting all drives.Copied - syncs clipboard material between macOS and iOS, allows saving clips as e.g.Workspaces - doesn’t play well with MATLAB, so probably will be removed.Since folks seem to be interested in home screens, desktops, and the like, I thought I’d throw out the things I let live in my menubar.
