I switched to using a Mac from a Linux machine few months back. I wanted to compile a list of tips and tools that I used to customize my workflow to make myself more productive. 

Following are the tools I use almost everyday. Some are Mac specific some are not. Do let me know in comments if you found this useful or if you have any better alternatives.

### Must have tools

* Clipboard Manager to copy and paste from clipboard history (I use [PasteBox](http://astevic.com/pastebox))

* [f.lux](https://justgetflux.com/)

* Markdown editor (I use [MacDown](http://macdown.uranusjr.com/))

* [XtraFinder](https://www.trankynam.com/xtrafinder/) with following configuration (makes life easy if you're coming from Windows or Linux OS)
	- Enter to open files and F2 to rename
	- Tabs like Google Chrome
	- Copy Path (Use Cmd + Shift + G to show the location bar and paste the file path)
	- Don't forget to enable Cut and Paste feature
