## New Mac Setup - Diffs i'm making this year
Usually I start these off with a from-scratch step by step procedure list, but because I am mostly replacing a lost laptop from last year, you can mostly follow [my 2023 guide](https://www.swyx.io/new-mac-setup-2023/). However I am making a couple big changes this year, so I will start with the diffs, then go down to the from scratch guide.
### Orion browser
This is the biggest change I'm making this year. I [struggled with Arc browser all year and now it is dead](https://x.com/swyx/status/1817260352113106983). I still really like vertical tabs and foldered tabs and link previews, so I am now happily using Kagi's Orion: https://kagi.com/orion/
### Other apps i am using by default now
https://www.beeper.com/download-nightly <- only way to get unread twitter dms (previously known as https://texts.com/)
### `uv` won Python
don't install python the normal way. no conda, no brew python. use [uv for python management](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv#installation).
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
source $HOME/.local/bin/env.fish
uv python install 3.12
```
(i am a small angel in Astral)
### Raycast task manager
switched to raycast instead of alfred https://www.raycast.com/swyxio
- main things to use are the clipboard history (great, free)
- and the chatgpt LLM integration (mild conflicts with the official ChatGPT desktop app keyboard shortcut, which you will have to reassign)
### AI app installations
- voice to text: [superwhisper](https://superwhisper.com/) also trying out [https://carelesswhisper.app/](https://carelesswhisper.app/)
- maybe https://github.com/lynaghk/whispertron
- desktop chat: [chatgpt desktop](https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/)
- terminal agents:
```bash
npm i -g @openai/codex
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude mcp add playwright -- npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest # https://x.com/sergeykarayev/status/1949883217773052132
```
- local ai models: https://github.com/ollama/ollama (more localllama tools [here](https://abishekmuthian.com/how-i-run-llms-locally/) that i dont use)
- also try https://github.com/simonw/llm and its mlx plugin for apple silicon
```bash
ollama run llama3.2
ollama run HammerAI/llama2-tiefighter
ollama run vanilj/mistral-nemo-12b-celeste-v1.9
ollama run qwen2.5-coder:14b
ollama run hf.co/unsloth/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-GGUF:Q8_0
# see also gemma-3-27b-it-qat-4bit https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43743337
```
(use https://huggingface.co/spaces/DontPlanToEnd/UGI-Leaderboard or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43340989 to decide other models to download , or https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1i8tx5z/i_benchmarked_almost_every_model_that_can_fit_in/)
also [llama.vim](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42806328) from ggerganov
```bash
brew install llama.cpp
llama-server \
-hf ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-3B-Q8_0-GGUF \
--port 8012 -ngl 99 -fa -ub 1024 -b 1024 -dt 0.1 \
--ctx-size 0 --cache-reuse 256
```
Maybe some local UI: https://github.com/johnbean393/Sidekick or https://lmstudio.ai/ or https://jan.ai/
## Other changes I am still evaluating
- ghostty instead of warp? not sold yet. but this config is helpful https://x.com/TheAnirudh/status/1869379182008193313
- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42517447
## Failed changes
i tried fish shell. however, because most setups assume bash/zsh, this dooms you to a life time of translating readmes
life is too short for this.
# New Mac Setup - from scratch
## Immediate first steps
- **Browser**: Kagi's Orion: https://kagi.com/orion/ set to default.
- IMMEDIATELY create a google meet, share screen, record screen (to get all permissions working so you dont have to restart browser later). can also do this via discord or zoom webapps - just start call share screen and get all the perms working ASAP)
- **Log in to**: (this helps with logins for the other services below)
- Twitter
- Github (more setup instructions below)
- Gmail
- Install [Warp](https://warp.dev/) (my normal terminal of choice, good for AI generated commands, but [memory hog](https://x.com/swyx/status/1869288346020954151))
- my .zshrc now includes [the very nice "please" bash function](https://github.com/pmarreck/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/functions/please.bash) which can replace Warp
- install https://ghostty.org/ and add [keyboard navigation config](https://x.com/TheAnirudh/status/1869379182008193313)
## Things that take a while to install
Get these going first so they can run in the background
- Install [ZSH](https://ohmyz.sh/) - `sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"`
- Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) - `/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"` and then
```bash
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/swyx/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
```
i have a bunch more stuff in `brew list` but i'm not sure what i use actively. You can mass install these - dump them in a `packages.txt` and then `brew install $(cat packages.txt)`

- [Other things to try](https://evanhahn.com/a-decade-of-dotfiles/#tools-i-like):
- entr (rerun commands when files change)
- tig (git log replacement)
- [boop](https://gitlab.com/EvanHahn/dotfiles/-/blob/ece393e625bb8254fe05774df33bb5af8a73d7e7/home/zsh/.config/zsh/aliases.zsh#L48-56)
- [murder](https://gitlab.com/EvanHahn/dotfiles/-/blob/ece393e625bb8254fe05774df33bb5af8a73d7e7/home/bin/bin/murder)
- running
Either of these will prompt you to install Apple Command Line Tools - takes 15-25 minutes to download the damn thing so do this first. Don't run them in parallel.
## OS/Browser Settings
- **System Settings**:
- Disable Spotlight search for all miscellaneous crap except apps and system preferences
- including [stupid Developer option](https://www.howtogeek.com/231829/how-to-disable-developer-search-results-in-spotlight-on-a-mac/) (make sure to add [Xcode.app](http://xcode.app) to /Applications not /user/swyx/Applications)
- the "touch xcode.app" trick [failed recently](https://chatgpt.com/share/6847780b-c9f4-8012-a939-610b6514b281) for homebrew. fix is `xcode-select --install` and `sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools` i think
- Disable Ask Siri
- Turn off autocorrect in Keyboard
- 
- Set to [Big cursor](https://www.lifewire.com/make-mac-mouse-pointer-bigger-2260808) for accessibility during presentation
- [some reports of memory leaks](https://www.techrepublic.com/article/macos-monterey-has-a-serious-memory-leak-problem-and-the-cause-has-been-found/) when doing this
- Fix trackpad direction: Trackpad -> Scroll & Zoom - Natural off
- Disable dictionary lookup: Trackpad -> Point & Click -> Look up & data detectors off
- (if using windows keyboard) [remap alt and cmd keys](https://superuser.com/questions/158561/how-can-i-remap-windows-and-alt-keys-in-os-x) for ergonomics
- **Finder settings**:
- Settings → advanced -> show filename extensions
- When performing a search -> Search the Current Folder
- Enable showing dotfiles (just hold Cmd + Shift + . (dot) in a Finder window)
- [Show path bar](https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/show-path-finder-title-bar/) in footer for easier navigation (View -> Show Path Bar)
- Prune the excessive sidebar bookmarks
- create "Work" folder and pin it
- Settings -> general - New Finder Windows show -> Work
- **Keyboard**:
- [remap command+Q to literally anything else](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/78948/how-to-disable-command-q-for-quit) - to prevent accidental close-all
- Shortcuts: copy picture of selected area to clipboard -> Cmd+E
- AUDIO KEYBOARD - currently using [SuperWhisper](https://superwhisper.com/) which I have ended up preferring over [Wispr AI](https://x.com/WisprAI/status/1840757312912564366)
- **MacOS Dock:**
- Remove everything from the Dock except: Finder, System Preferences and Trash
- Turn Dock Auto Hiding on - to get more screen real estate for presentations
- turn this on for MacOS Menu bar as well
- **Chrome extensions**: (tied to Chrome account)
- https://github.com/dnakov/little-rat to see chrome extension traffic
- Paywall blocker [https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/)
- See Tweets about any page [https://github.com/swyxio/Twitter-Links-beta](https://github.com/swyxio/Twitter-Links-beta?organization=sw-yx&organization=sw-yx) ([my blogpost here](https://www.swyx.io/twitter-metacommentary/))

## Setup Terminal
- Download, install, and set font - [Inconsolata for Powerline](https://github.com/powerline/fonts/blob/master/Inconsolata/Inconsolata%20for%20Powerline.otf) and [Meslo LG M for Powerline](https://github.com/powerline/fonts/blob/master/Meslo%20Slashed/Meslo%20LG%20M%20Regular%20for%20Powerline.ttf)
- [autosuggestions](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/master/INSTALL.md#oh-my-zsh): `git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions`
- [syntax highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/blob/master/INSTALL.md#oh-my-zsh)
- If you encounter warnings, you may need to [chmod stuff](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13762280/zsh-compinit-insecure-directories) or warnings show at start of every session
```
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/share/zsh
$ sudo chown -R root:staff /usr/local/share/zsh
```
- Copy my dotfiles (vimrc, zshrc, .gitignore_global): [https://gist.github.com/swyxio/7fa1009e460ecb818d5e6d9ca4616a05](https://gist.github.com/swyxio/7fa1009e460ecb818d5e6d9ca4616a05)
- `source ~/.zshrc` to load the zshrc
- Note: good guide to dotfiles here https://dotfiles.github.io/tutorials/ that i have not yet read
- note: gitconfig discusison here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43170015
- am trying out https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k
- You installed zsh above [ZSH](https://ohmyz.sh/), now set up the rest
- `git config --global init.defaultBranch main`
- `git config --global user.name "swyxio"`
- `git config --global user.email YOUR@EMAIL.HERE`
- once you have installed `diff-so-fancy`
- set `git config --global core.pager "diff-so-fancy | less --tabs=4 -RFX"` - makes for much nicer git diff
- You can also diff with this bash function `dif() { git diff --color --no-index "$1" "$2" | diff-so-fancy; }` or with VSCode `code --diff file1.js file2.js`.
- You can also try [https://github.com/dandavison/delta](https://github.com/dandavison/delta)
- customize the `/.oh-my-zsh/themes/agnoster` theme from dotfiles
- set font for Warp: https://warp.dev/
- only settings I really need to make are setting the font to "Inconsolata for Powerline" - which I downloaded above.
## Set up apps/environments
You should have already installed a bunch of stuff with Homebrew as per above. Below I will list other stuff that you may wish to use:
- [Github CLI](https://github.com/cli/cli): `brew install github/gh/gh`
- you need to **login to git** - if you have 2fa enabled, you cant use your normal github password. try pushing to any random repo and enter in a [Personal Access Token](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34919582) for password.
- then run `gh auth login`
- [add GitHub SSH key](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent) (not optional)
- Python: no more `pyenv` and [no more Anaconda](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41388750) for me. the new hotness is [`uv` from Astral](https://astral.sh/blog/uv). it's a replacement for pip, virtualenv, pyenv, poetry, etc. very new but not a ton of personal experience and intend to try next time. `pip install uv`, then instead of future `pip install` use `uv pip install`, or `uv venv` instead of `virtualenv` or `python -m venv`. much faster and interchangeable with other tools... but still may have minor dependency resolution issues particularly for old projects.
- pyenv virtualenv needs some zshrc setup, or else get `Failed to activate virtualenv. Perhaps pyenv-virtualenv has not been loaded into your shell properly.` errors, which i fixed with [this](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv/issues/387#issuecomment-847855719).
- install pytorch: `pip3 install torch torchvision`
- Setup [Node.js/NPM](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) using - you should already have [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm) (a faster alternative to [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm)) from the Homebrew install done above so no separate download needed.
- `fnm install 22` to install node
- we did `brew install pnpm` earlier <- seems to be increasingly the norm
- `npm login`
- `npm config set loglevel="warn"`
- `npm i -g undollar` for removing $
- `npm install -g npm-check-updates` for updating deps
- `sudo npm install -g trash-cli` to add a `trash` command to so you dont permanently delete files
- `brew install yarn --ignore-dependencies` - [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#mac-stable) note
- you may need to [work around Mac OS Sierra](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43780207/installing-node-with-brew-fails-on-mac-os-sierra)
- `brew install z` - doesnt work out of the box exactly - see my issue on the [rupa/z repo](https://github.com/rupa/z/issues/229) - homebrew changed the default install path of the z.sh script so just make sure you are pointing to the right new path - `. /opt/homebrew/etc/profile.d/z.sh` in your zshrc
- see [HN reviews of rupa/z](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39001441), as well as some alternatives.
- Misc - stuff i used to install and maybe dont need anymore
- `pip3 install --user powerline-status`
- go to a neutral folder and `git clone && cd fonts && ./install.sh`
## Setup Apps
- I hate [Docker Desktop](https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-mac/) so i am using "docker" without it
- brew installed https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/ and
- `sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.5.1/docker-compose-darwin-aarch64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose`
- `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose`
- `brew install --cask notunes` - so that you [dont launch itunes/apple music](https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes)
- VLC: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
- you also need to reassign the default music player for music files to QuickTime or VLC - the usual way of "Always Open With" never works, you have to [do this](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252345521?answerId=254430926022&sortBy=best#254430926022): `Select any MP3 file, Press "Command+i", Change "Open with:" to VLC, Click the "Change All…" button. Tada.`
- download [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/) - and [install ffmpeg](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_ffmpeg_for_mac.html) for audacity - the instructions are intentionally opaque - just go to https://lame.buanzo.org/#lameosx64bitdl and download and run the pkg - Audacity will detect it from there
- Emojis: I used to use [https://matthewpalmer.net/rocket/](https://matthewpalmer.net/rocket/) but now I just use the naive Mac emoji picker (hit Fn key)
- Privacy unfucker: [Pure Paste](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1611378436) from Sindre Sorhus
- Password Manager: I use both 1password and lastpass depending on contexts
- Window Manager: https://rectangleapp.com/ (there's mild history w/ [spectacle/magnet](https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle/discussions/673#discussioncomment-1760361) but they're basically the same thingz. 2024: try https://github.com/MrKai77/Loop open source)
- Screenshots: https://shottr.cc/ (shottr does OCR, but you may like a [dedicated OCR utility](https://github.com/schappim/macOCR))
- [Superhuman for Mac](http://superhuman.com/mac) and [https://mail.superhuman.com](https://mail.superhuman.com/)
- Clipboard Manager: I now just use the one that comes with Alfred since I bought a lifetime upgrade a while ago. has good search and images, and can add snippets.
- To explore: [Clipbook](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40648404)

- create a meeting, share screen, record screen
- Caffeine (Keep Mac awake for talks): https://intelliscapesolutions.com/apps/caffeine
- maintained version: [Amphetamine](https://roaringapps.com/app/amphetamine) (thanks Matt Mischuk!) - but Caffeine is plenty
- [QuickShade](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quickshade/id931571202?mt=12) (mac app controlled brightness)
- [NoTunes](https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes) - disable itunes/apple music
- Descript: [https://www.descript.com/download/mac](https://www.descript.com/download/mac)
- Stuff I no longer use often but will bring in when i have the need
- SkyFonts: [https://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/google]
- Disk Space: [Disk Inventory X](http://www.derlien.com/) - you can clean node modules with [this bash command](https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1064672618450579457?s=20) or as a [cronjob](https://gist.github.com/zephraph/9169b9de4568b858f4b0e45fc41218b7)(https://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/google)
- Chat: [Slack](https://slack.com/downloads/osx) and [Discord](https://discord.com/)
