Mac apps galore!

Introduction
I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before, but I love apps. I would download, install, and play with apps all day if someone would let me. This time I’m going to go over a few of the apps I’ve found and enjoyed over the last few weeks. Let’s go!

The level of planning isn’t insane, but it allows me to jot down thoughts, link them to other thoughts, and continue to build.
