This repository is a curated list of productivity tools and applications recommended for Mac users, particularly developers. The README is written in Chinese and organized into several categories covering different types of software. It is not a piece of software itself but a reference guide to tools the author has personally used and found useful. The categories include Markdown editors, with notes comparing options like Typora and Ulysses for different use cases. There is a section on general Mac tools covering utilities for network packet capture, code snippet management, window management, color picking, and file compression. Productivity tools like Alfred, iTerm2, Pomodoro timers, and mind-mapping applications are also listed with brief descriptions of each. A separate section covers Chrome browser extensions useful for web developers, including tools for API testing, JSON viewing, cookie editing, page measurement, and React debugging. Another section lists Alfred workflows, which are automation scripts for the Alfred launcher application. Several custom-built Chrome extensions and Alfred workflows by the repository author are included alongside links to third-party ones. The terminal section recommends tools like Oh My Zsh for shell customization, autojump for faster directory navigation, and tmux for managing multiple terminal sessions. There is also a section specifically for front-end developers covering proxy and debugging tools. The README notes at the start that tool proficiency has a noticeable effect on development speed, which is the motivation for putting this list together. All recommendations come with short explanations of what each tool does.
