It’s been a while since I wrote an article focusing on macOS apps. The reason: (I’m shy to reveal) Procrastination.

A guy who procrastinates just wrote an article on productivity apps. Ironic, isn’t it?

I don’t know why but I regularly go through days of extremely low productivity and then get back to productive state again. Does this happen to you too?

Anyways, here are 12 macOS apps that almost 2x my productivity when it’s already on.
