If you’re looking for ways to boost your productivity as a UX designer, then look no further than your trusty Mac.
There are tons of apps available that can help streamline your workflow and help you get the most out of your design process. In this blog post, I’ll share five of my favorite Mac apps for UX designers.
So if you’re ready to boost your productivity, read on! 👇🏼
1. Rectangle — Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas.
In the world of productivity, organization is key, and as a UX designer, it matters even more. The Rectangle Mac app by Ryan Hanson is a useful tool for people who want to streamline their workflow in a quick and easy way.
Rectangle makes it easy to snap windows to different sizes, so users can change the size of their windows quickly with a single click or keystroke.
In this way, you can easily compare apps side by side as well as quickly jump between tasks without resizing windows multiple times.
So, if you are using an ultra-wide or a 28”+ screen, this app will make your life way better.
It also has an easy-to-use shortcut system for managing windows that makes it easy for users to remember and reuse their favorite window configurations.
With so many features packed into one lightweight app, it’s no wonder that Rectangle is fast becoming the top window manager for any serious Mac user looking to get the most out of their workspace.
2. CleanShot X — Capture your Mac’s screen like a pro.
This one is a must for every UX designer. CleanShot X is a professional tool that makes it easy to take, edit, and share screenshots on a Mac quickly.
With this powerful tool, you can easily record screencasts or snip sections of the screen with the press of a few keys, allowing you to capture high-resolution images and videos with ease.
