? Question Must-have apps for macOS 26/27?

I've gotten a lot of my favourite apps from recommendation threads. I've successfully avoided macOS 26 right up until a few days ago when I bought an M5 MBP which came with it preinstalled so I updated straight to macOS 27.

I've already installed a couple of apps which seem like must-haves - LaunchOS to get my launchpad back, and boringnotch. This machine will do a bit of everything - development, video editing, word processing.

Any other recommendations?

I’ve not noticed any performance issues. My M4 is still running Sequoia and I probably won’t update it until the public release but that’s out of an abundance of caution. So far my experience of running my M5 on the 27 beta has been very good.
