Is your macOS experience too boring and not really optimized? Do you want to improve your Mac experience but don't know how? Here SiliconZ will share the top software to optimize your Mac experience. Mac you should install.
1. TG Pro: The most detailed fan management and temperature monitoring software for Mac
TG Pro has the full name of Temperature Gauge Pro, this software helps you to manually adjust the fan speed and monitor the temperature of your Macbook in the most detailed way. There are many other software that can do both of the above such as Macs Fan Control or smcFanControl,... but to see the temperature in the most detailed way, TG Pro is currently doing the best.
TG Pro can view the temperature of each CPU core, GPU, battery cell, Wi-Fi card, SSD temperature and more. TG Pro also allows you to manually adjust the fan speed as desired, and adjust both fans separately!

2. NightOwl: Instant Light/Dark Mode Switching
The function of this app is to switch between light and dark modes. But the remarkable thing about this app is its "instant" operation, you only need 1 button, the conversion between Light Mode and Dark Mode takes place immediately, without any delay during the conversion process.
Of course, you can set the time for this application to do the switching automatically for you. For example, if you want to turn on Dark Mode at 10 pm and turn it off at 7 am the next morning, you just need to set the time, everything else is automatic. This application runs hidden on the navigation bar, very simple, very easy to use and very light.

3. Magnet: The most powerful window management software
I noticed that most Mac users have the habit of splitting the application windows they are using on the same desktop. Magnet will help you "split the window" evenly and perfectly.
Once you install the app, the Magnet icon will appear on the navigation bar. If you want to split the window in any way, the buttons on the navigation bar will do exactly what you want.
This software is also very convenient, very easy to use, everything is intuitive right before your eyes. But there is a small note for you when using this application: it must be granted full Accessibility security rights to be able to run all functions.

4. Authy: 2FA code generation application, used to enhance security
Authy is a 2FA code generation application, used to enhance the security of online service accounts such as Gmail, Facebook, Blockchain and services that support 2fa security... Especially if you are a coin investor or trade on cryptocurrency exchanges, this application is very important.
Every time you log in, instead of just entering your username and password, you have to enter a 6-digit number – generated by the Authy app and every 30 seconds the 6 digits will change. If your password is accidentally leaked, there is still another layer of protection to log in to your account. Your job is to protect the device that has the Authy app installed to ensure that only you have this number.
This app is available on both iOS and Android platforms.

5. Vanilla: Minimize apps on navigation bar
After installing all the above applications, I dare to bet with you that the navigation bar of the majority of macOS users will be very messy. This application helps to solve that: collapse all icons into 1 dot.
Just click on that dot, all the apps running in the background on the navigation bar will pop out and vice versa. Neat, clean and no more clutter.
