What is your favourite developer tool and why?
Bakery. It used to be such a pain to generate app icons for all the different sizes, but Bakery just makes that a breeze. It also makes it really easy to create quick placeholder app icons for development and debugging, which I heavily use.
What's one tool you wish you had used sooner?
Alfred for sure! It has a ton of features that aren’t related to development, but workflows for shortcuts and Snippets are super helpful.
What is a tool you couldn’t live without?
Apple Documentation! Some people might not even consider this a development tool, but to me it brings so much knowledge and allows me to learn about APIs without leaving Xcode, so I do consider it a tool.
If you could choose one tool/app to be installed on Macs in all Apple stores, which one would it be and why?
Magnet. It’s the first app that I install on a new device, as I just really miss the window management features that I got used to on my Windows machine. Magnet allows me to quickly arrange windows and have access to more information at once.
