There are some apps you should consider installing after updating to macOS Monterey. They’re optimized for the operating system update and will help you get the most out of your Mac:
° 1Password, a password manager;
° CleanMyMac X, an all-in-one macOS solution designed to keep your Mac clean and to secure space from your computer’s hard drive.
° Adobe Photoshop, the professional graphics editor;
° Pixelmator Pro, an alternative to Photoshop;
° PDF Expert, which allows you to edit PDF text, images, links, and outlines quickly and easily.
° Alfred, a utility that offers hotkeys, keywords, text expansion and more;
° VLC, a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.
And if you’re not happy with Apple’s free iWorks apps (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers) there’s always Microsoft Office for Mac.
