I even store my code snippets in Alfred so they are kinda universal through apps and computers. I also have a ton of script and keyboard shortcuts configured as workflows. I have tons of keyword shortcuts web URLs that launch chrome with a few key taps in Alfred search. This is a great way to document the apps you use that can be Alfred

Keep in mind that this will take a long, download and install all apps. Here is the partial list of the apps I installed with just running the following command: brew install -cask zoom Using homebrew + using cask to install usual tools. A surprising amount of them had open-source alternatives so I could support the open source community as well as not need to pay or worry about proprietary licenses of the apps I was using. I have asked the same question and tentatively came up with the following list to use alternatives of the apps/tools I was using. But clean install is probably the best time to re-evaluate how much value each app is bringing to your day-to-day and the cost of using system resources on your computer. Especially if you have everything set up already. This is actually a great opportunity to re-evaluate your relationship with all the tools/apps you use daily basis. App settings (~/Library/Application Support)Ĭan you live without these tools you were using before? Or can you find open-source alternatives, or better paid alternatives?īefore installing any new app.Things I do regular backups using this script:
As simple as plugging in the SSD disk, run a bash script, and all done in under 5 minutes and I’m usually done. I actually take regular backups with a script I created. I use an external SSD disk to store my backups. Backup ~/.config ~/.aws and similar credentials files/folders.Make List of homebrew packages installed.Here is the todo list I created for myself for this whole operation: I wanted to write about my process of perfecting my process of setting up a brand new machine (or a reinstalled OS) as quickly as I can with restoring critical tools’ settings I use often. End result is not seeing the speed lift I expected and finally giving in to buy a new M1 Macbook Air which has been amazing as far as the speed I wanted from my computer. I backed everything up and planned a clean re-install on the Intel Macbook Pro. A month before giving up and buying a new M1 MacbookAir, I suspected that the macOS installation and apps/tools I installed over many years were perhaps the sources of the speed issues. Before I upgraded to the new M1 machine, I was having a lot of speed issues with my previous Intel Macbook Pro.
