Hey everyone! Just ordered an M5 15” MacBook Air for college. As a lifelong Windows user, I’m bracing for the transition.

Here are some apps i found to ease the transition:

- AltTab: For Windows style window switching.
- BetterDisplay: For better scaling and display customization.
- LinearMouse: To fix non-Apple mouse scrolling acceleration.
- TheBoringNotch / DynamicLake: To utilize the notch space.

Beyond these, what are your absolute favorite "must-have" Mac apps in general?

I'm looking for recommendations for window snapping, note-taking, managing academic PDFs, or just general quality of life tools that make macOS great. Open to both free/open-source and paid options. Thanks!
