This week is dedicated to Apple’s WorldWide Developers Conference. I’ve chosen a few, more or less, thematically appropriate apps for June’s recommendations. If you’ve found the motivation to streamline your Mac workflow with WWDC23, here are some sample apps to help you achieve that goal. But I also have programs for those who now want to switch from the Windows PC to the Apple Mac. At the bottom, you will find the advice of the last two years so that you can use dozens of other apps; many of them free.
Phoenix
The Phoenix app is a window manager for people who can handle JavaScript. Because the software offers the ability to position app windows on the Mac display according to your preferences, these positions, the window size and the key combinations required for editing must first be programmed by yourself.
Individual settings can ideally be defined here, especially for large or extra-wide monitors. Or even for displays used vertically. If you want to lock windows to certain viewing positions, but don’t want to program anything for this, check out the app, which is also free Rectangle with a stable board with fin and WING.

As the name recommends, this little aid is carried to the macOS menu bar at various times.
Enter the respective cities, place them in the app menu for the menu bar and then use the design of your choice for the display. Incidentally, in addition to the AM and PM times, symbols for a day (sun), night (moon), sunset and the like are also displayed.
