Developer Toolkit

A mix of tools I use every day, and tools I’ve found useful. Many of these are in SetApp.

Primary

Xcode Apple’s IDE (don’t overlook Instruments!)

BBEdit Bulletproof Text Editor

DevUtils JSON validator and much more

JuxtaCode Diffs and Merge tool

Tower My fav GitHub client, for nostalgic reasons mostly. Xcode 15 does what I need. Tower is expensive but useful for newbies because of its extensive help and support.
