Heres my list:

Transnomino (https://www.transnomino.com/)

StillColor (https://github.com/aiaf/Stillcolor)

SublimeText (https://www.sublimetext.com/)

Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)

VLC (https://www.videolan.org/)

Macs Fan Control (https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control)

Honestly its not huge and most are probably obvious, but those are what I immediately install on my machines.looking forward to seeing alternatives or new must-haves.

Malwarebytes, Microsoft Office. That's the software I'll install when I buy a new device.

Magnet app (for window splitting) is usually one of my first installs. I think I paid like $7 for it years ago and it's well worth it.
