9 Best Mac Productivity Apps for 2026d

📄 apps/web/content/articles/mac-productivity-apps.mdx

The article is well-structured and generally well-written with strong voice and engagement. However, there are several editing issues: multiple em dashes that need to be replaced or restructured per the style guide, some punctuation placement errors (especially around quotation marks and list items), a few instances of awkward phrasing that could be clarified, and minor grammar issues like comma splices and sentence fragments. The content is informative and the recommendations appear sound, but tightening the prose would improve readability. Most corrections are straightforward and don't require significant rewrites.

Found 20 issues:

📝 Grammar

Line 9

Most of them? Gone by February.

The sentence fragment with a question mark is grammatically incorrect. This should be a complete statement.

Line 11

Like muscle memory, but for software.

Sentence fragment. Should be a complete sentence or integrated into the previous sentence.

📋 Suggested fix (click to expand)

It's like muscle memory, but for software.

Line 220

No natural language input beyond dates (You can look at Todoist for this)

Capitalize 'you' only if it starts a new sentence; here it's within a parenthetical, so it should be lowercase.

No natural language input beyond dates (you can look at Todoist for this).

Line 233

I capture 20-30 things a day explaining designs, reporting bugs, documenting workflows. CleanShot makes the entire flow invisible. You can capture, annotate in seconds, share a link, move on.

Missing 'and' before 'move on' for parallel structure in the series.

🔸 Em Dashes

Line 89

Drop multiple requests and let Claude work through them in parallel—feels less like a conversation, more like delegating to a coworker

Em dash should be replaced with a regular dash or the sentence should be restructured. Also, period is missing at the end.

Things 3 is what happens when designers actually care about how software feels. It's not trying to be everything; just a beautiful way to track what you need to do today. Expensive and missing features, but sometimes the best tool is the one you actually want to use.

Em dash should be replaced with a regular dash.

I started using Keyboard Maestro to save a few clicks here and there. Six months in, I'm automating things I didn't know were annoying me. It's not sexy, it's not flashy, but it quietly saves me hours every week by making my Mac work exactly how I want it to.

Em dash should be replaced with a regular dash after 'flashy'.

But they all have one thing in common, they make me think less about how I'm working so I can focus on what I'm working on.

Comma splice. Should use em dash, period, or semicolon. Recommend em dash be replaced with regular dash per style guide.

💡 Clarity

Line 150

I've been an Obsidian power user for as long as I can remember, and it won't come as a surprise that I am greatly inspired by their files over apps philosophy.

Awkward phrasing: 'it won't come as a surprise that I am' is wordy. Also, 'files over apps' should be in quotation marks as it's their stated philosophy.

📋 Suggested fix (click to expand)

Line 269

Pro plan is $8/month annually or $10/month for unlimited Cloud storage, custom domain, team features, and perpetual updates.

Awkward phrasing: '$8/month annually' is contradictory. Should clarify this is $8/month when paid annually, or restructure the sentence.

Awkward phrasing and comma placement. Should restructure with better punctuation and parallel structure.

No engagement optimization, no unread anxiety, just scroll until you're done and pick up where you left off tomorrow.

A regular dash or period would clarify this better than the commas used.

Expensive ($50 Mac, $10 iPhone, $20 iPad. Separate purchases)

Period should be replaced with em dash or the parenthetical should use proper punctuation. Overall needs restructuring.
