My Software Stack 2026

It has been more than two years since my previous post Mac Dev Software List. I dug it up, and some things on it are gone now, some got replaced by better options, and a few I still use exactly the same way.

This post is not about “I heard this is good.” It is only about what is actually running on my machine right now. Along the way I update the outdated parts of the old list.

Block macOS 26 Updates (Still Works in 2026, Removes the Badge)

Why block updates at all

After macOS 26 came out, the update nag kept popping up every few days. I kept worrying I’d slip and hit “Update Now”, confirmation or not. It got frequent enough that I wanted a fix that sticks.

My reasons, plainly:

The red badge drives me crazy
Older machines don’t handle the new system well, and I don’t want the slowdown
I need a stable work setup, and an upgrade breaking my dev environment is not worth the risk
I dislike the liquid glass look in macOS 26, and some apps may not be compatible yet

So after upgrading to macOS 15.7.3, I decided to block macOS updates completely and get rid of the badge.
