When the Mac version came out, I was all over it. WordPerfect user at the time, but wird processing was king back then. It would freeze and crash and irritate me. But I loved using it. If anything, it made things interesting for us Mac users as our options to PC software were quite virtually nonexistent.
Well-written books, especially the wealth of contemporary works now available in translation, affects me, and presumably many others alike, more deeply than almost anything else. I eagerly await my few hours of nightly isolation to explore new writing from around the world. There's lots to explore, trust me.

Things 3 is another excellent third-party option in this category. Together, these apps form my essential productivity stack. I honestly can't function without them.
