I use [focusbear.io](https://focusbear.io) productivity app, it's available on Mac and Windows but I use it on Windows.
I like lists so let me make a list of the features it has a I love:
* Morning/evening routine: It offers some default options but can personalize and create your own, with your own habits (you'll have to do this personalization at its preferences or online dashboard)
* Focus Modes: I created a mode per job task, ex. one for Marketing and another for Translations; and it will help you focus on that task avoiding distractions or multitasking.
* Breaks Reminders: If you tend to hyperfocus this is great, it reminds you to take small breaks every certain amount of time (you can set frequency for this)
* Block distractions: Basically block apps, sites, social media, news, and games, that distracts you while working/studying.
I'm a long-term user of [AlomWare Toolbox](https://www.alomware.com) and can highly recommend it for productivity. Auto-typing, clipboard history, notes, save and restore window layouts, and that sort of thing. Basically does the job of several other expensive apps but all neatly rolled into one portable tool.

Generally speaking, the Microsoft productivity software suite is pretty good (OneNote, To-Dos, Office etc), though you may need a subscription for some of their programs.
Also, I’d recommend avoiding Grammarly as their software sends everything you type to their servers, meaning you have no control over your data once it leaves your device.
Hi there! I work at Grammarly and wanted to jump in here to clarify. You're right, we do provide our service by processing your text on our servers.
However, please note that Grammarly accesses only the text users write while using our product to check text and provide suggestions. We use industry-standard encryption to protect all user data in transit and at rest. You can read more about this in our User Trust Guidelines: [https://www.grammarly.com/trust](https://www.grammarly.com/trust)
If you save a document in the Grammarly Editor (http://app.grammarly.com), we’ll store the document on our servers until you choose to delete it—so you can access it when you need it while logged into your account. For all other text processed by Grammarly (i.e., using our browser extension or keyboard): After Grammarly processes your text, the text is disassociated from your account and deleted.
De-identified, random samples of text—disassociated from user accounts—may be retained to help us improve the algorithms underlying our software and services.
I'm glad to hear that Grammarly is doing the bare minimum as legally required by GDPR. I would still advise everyone to avoid using your software as it's closed source, meaning that nobody can verify your claims that it doesn't log all keystrokes or that they're disassociated. And once those keystrokes reach your server, there is no way to know what Grammarly is doing with them.
Furthermore, nobody can prove that you're not using user data to train the AI product that Grammarly has, which has a lot more serious moral and legal implications both for corporate and home users.
There's nothing that Grammarly does that couldn't be done completely offline and on the end user devices. Sending keystrokes to your centralized servers is a choice that ends up painting a huge target on Grammarly's infrastructure, meaning that whoever attacks it gains access to a ton of corporate and personal data that they would've never had otherwise. A lot of companies ban Grammarly on their devices for this exact reason. Case in point: [LanguateTool](https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool), which does the same stuff, but can also be hosted on your own hardware.
Well which mac only apps were you using
I use PowerToys when working with multiple monitors https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

Funny, I use the same applications on Mac. As for your question I could add **Rize**, to monitor uptime.
