Alfred as my app launcher, with a number of workflows for things like reminding me about http status codes
Recently I've been trying out this little calculator app called Numi.

Coding & Development
I run Visual Studio Code for most other text editing.
I keep the amazingly solid, trusty BBEdit around for heavy text lifting.
In the terminal, I'll reach for vim, which I invoke as vi not vim because I am old and my fingers do things in the shell without conscious thought.
Design
For diagramming, I use the amazing Omnigraffle.
Other
I write almost everything in Markdown if I can, which makes Deckset the idea slide presentation app for me.
Bartender for managing the zillion menu bar icons on smaller screens.
Dropzone for dragging and dropping across workspaces.
