I've been doing some prep for the GM of Big Sur (whenever that might be). I plan on backing up my system then wiping it for a fresh build. Won't restore the backup - it's there just in case.

Post-build, these are the apps I plan on installing. Wondering what you're likely to include on a fresh build given the opportunity to leave off stuff that gathered application dust over the last OS(s).

  • 1Password
  • Backblaze
  • balenaEtcher
  • Fantastical
  • Bartender
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Little Snitch
  • Zoom
  • Vivaldi
  • Tweetbot
  • Transmit
  • Tor Browser
  • Things
  • Synology Drive Client
  • Spotify
  • Spark
  • Sonos
  • Signal
  • Office 365
  • Plexamp
  • Plex
  • Notability
  • NordVPN
  • Malwarebytes
  • Magnet
  • LANScan
  • Keka
  • iTerm
  • Handbrake
  • Grammarly
  • Carrot Weather
  • Onyx
I know some of those won't be Big Sur ready on release.

Do like these kinds of lists because often find inspiration/ideas for new apps, so keen to see yours.
