I find, try, and build apps nearly every day for my Hulry newsletter. Here are seven iOS and macOS apps I recommend, including one I made for my own weekly planning.

Brave, my previous browser, started glitching and lagging, so I switched to Dia.

When I first tried Dia in 2025, I wasn’t a fan because it was AI-first. I didn’t want that. It has since become a well-made everyday browser with optional AI features. You can get a morning briefing from your connected apps, or ask questions about the page you’re reading.

It’s clean, looks great, and is regularly updated with tiny, useful features. For example, I love how it automatically groups the tabs I open from the current page with Command-click, then gives the group a name.

I’ve used CleanShot as my screenshot tool for more than seven years. I use it for blog posts and tutorials, and to capture payment confirmations in case of later disputes.

CleanShot could already record my screen. Its new Studio Mode is a big update for video editing, including smooth zoom effects that make recordings look more polished.

I use these zoom-in effects in my tutorials and in my social media posts to draw viewers’ attention to the important bits of the recording. I used to use Screen Studio for that editing, but I’m gradually shifting to using CleanShot for everything.
