Mac Apps [v1]

Some of them going to save you a ton of time on a daily basis…

In today’s post, I want to introduce you to some apps that I think are worth using, even worth the effort to pay for some of them in order to get all the features.
From an email manager to an image optimizer, to a multifunctional tool for taking screenshots… A bit of everything, but the most important thing is that they save us a lot of time with a few clicks… So let’s get down to business…
