Yep, imo, it's amazing! Let me know your thoughts after you try it.

After more than a week of using, it is pretty AWESOME. It makes some UI more visble like pull request UI for request canges, approve and comment. Also, the part where you can accept incoming change when merge conflict!!!

I'm happy that you found it useful. IMO, it's a great enhancement of the default GitHub's UI.

Note: Maccy is only available for macOS but I believe there’s an alternative app for Windows or Linux|

Windows have its builtin Clipboard that comes in Windows 10 an Windows 11, Not Sure about Window 8. It can be turned on in setting or just pressing Window + V button

I transitioned to Mac from the world of tiled window-managers for Linux. I was not familiar with Rectangle, but it looks really helpful for window management.

I use Slate (https://github.com/jigish/slate) - it has features similar to Rectangle but requires a written config file. One key combination can switch focus to the selected app - I have dedicated shortcuts to switch to the browser, terminal, code editor, etc., as I run most of these in separate full screens (https://github.com/dmp0x7c5/dotfiles/blob/master/slate#L23).

Thank you for the list, Petar!

I’ve never seen Mac rearrange my windows for me, it’s memory is something I enjoy, if I disconnect my external naturally every moves to the Mac but when I connect it back up all my windows and virtual monitors go back to exactly where they were the last time it was connected.

I prefer raycast clipboard history to maccy. I had used maccy for a long time before using raycast.

Literally everything is for Mac. You do realise there are people who don't use Macs, right?
