One user's must-have Mac apps for fall 2026, from Raycast to Codex

A Mac user's fall 2026 favorites combine everyday utilities with AI tools. Their highlights include Raycast's clipboard and browser history, CleanShot X's shortcut for copying text from screenshots, and Arc's three-way tab split for wide monitors. They also name 1Password and Karabiner among their essentials. For AI tools, they highlight Cotypist's iCloud-synced writing dictionary and praise Codex's Computer History for recapping the day—though they say they don't use Raycast's AI features much.
