Because Rangle is a consultancy, we have the opportunity to work with many different clients over a relatively short period.

When I get a fresh Macbook and plug it in for the first time there are some essential apps that I install straight away. I've compiled a list of free tools we recommend to increase productivity for Mac users at rangle.io.

We'd love to hear from you if there are any apps you can't live without that we should add to our toolkit.
