I’m a bit late to the party, but after seeing all the other App Default posts out there, I thought it’d be interesting to put together my own. So here’s an almost complete list of Apps I have installed on my Mac at the start of 2024. It might be interesting to review this list every year to see how my app usage shifts and changes over time.
