What are the first utilities and apps that you install when you get a new Mac? I've seen a lot of desktop screenshots that show some interesting stuff in the menu bar. It got me thinking about this.

Here are my favorite utilities and tweaks:

Bartender - menu bar management
1Password - password management
Moom - window layout management
TextExpander - typing shortcut utility
Fantastical - calendar replacement/menu bar

I like caffeine- in a drink and the app. Keeps your Mac from going to sleep

I like and use Fantastical 2 and 1Password, but I don't understand the price disparity between the iOS and Mac versions.

There are independent costs for each version for them to create them and each has an audience of a certain number of users. Those things, plus market and goals of company figure into price.
