A lot has changed since last year, including many of our favorite apps switching to a subscription model (and a new service that allows you to get a bunch of them at a discount). We share some of our favorite workflows and the key apps we use every day here at Asian Efficiency. If you’re looking to upgrade your Mac, this episode will give you plenty of good suggestions for boosting your Mac productivity.
