Ask HN: Best app you discovered in 2020?

  • TextSniper.app

    It does simple OCR, but it's so well-designed that it changed the way I use my computer. It's effectively copy and paste, except now I can copy text from scenes in movies, images I come across online, copy-protected pdf files, interface copy in other apps, etc...

    Sadly, for the developers, the app is so handy, I imagine Apple will sherlock the thing shortly.

  • Termux. It is very helpful, I use YT-dl and just Python in general.
