TILL USING THE default apps that came with your Mac? It’s time you gave these awesome alternatives a try instead. While the bundled apps in macOS cover quite a few bases, and are fully integrated into the Apple ecosystem, there’s a whole range of third–party apps that go way beyond what they can do. With one exception, the apps included here do cost money, but we still think they’re well worth considering for their advanced feature sets, especially for professionals and committed hobbyists. First, we take a look at video– and photo–editing apps to replace iMovie and Photos respectively. If you’re serious about your film–making or photography, you’ll definitely want to check the apps chosen here for their advanced editing tools, which enable extra precision and control.
