I use Obsidian for all my own thoughts and note taking. The next big app on today’s list is Obsidian. No DEVONthink is not cheap, but it has far more power than I could go into here and is entirely worth every penny I’ve spent on its various iterations over the years. DEVONthink is the key pillar in my business being a paperless endeavour. I use it to store important documents for my business and family. I get a copy of all my scanned receipts just in case I need them later. I use DEVONthink to store all the articles and PDFs I collect as I’m doing research. DEVONthink is one of the key applications in my research and writing workflow. While the other tools have been smaller utility applications, DEVONthink is far from that. Mosiac is available from the developer or via SetApp The most often used setups for me are the centered Finder window, full-screen windows for coding and writing, then split left/right windows when I need to reference two different items at the same time. Most often I use the keyboard commands, but I can’t remember them all so when I need to reset a Finder window back to the size I like I use the ⌥ key while dragging a window to bring up the Mosiac layout options. When using Mosiac you have two options for how to trigger it. Mosiac comes with many default screen configurations for you to use. I much prefer the window management environment on iPadOS, but some things are better done from my Mac thus I need a tool that brings some way to manage windows effectively. Another one I use often is a workflow that lets you check if a site is down just for you or if it’s down across the web. I regularly use the Dash workflow to search Dash quickly. If that’s not enough for you then Alfred has a whole custom workflow system you can use to build out hugely complex and powerful tools. Ejecting all hard drives that are attached. Sure macOS comes with Spotlight, but power users are going to want more out of their launcher. In other cases I’ll just use DaisyDisk to click through folders and delete files I no longer need.ĭaisyDisk is available directly from the company or via SetApp. Once DaisyDisk revealed this to me I could run a few terminal scripts to cut those images down to a manageable 50GB for 40,000 images. Evidently, they had been uploading full-sized images without realizing how much space it was eating. Once I found that a client site actually had over 200GB of media files. So I turn to DaisyDisk to figure out exactly where all that storage space went.įor me it’s almost always some video files I haven’t archived off to my external storage, but not always. If you do a bunch with text then Boop is something worth looking at.Īt least once a month I realize that the data I’m storing on my computer is getting away from me, that I’ve almost entirely filled a 1TB drive. Convert CSV text to JSON, or reverse that.Sort a set of lines by the numbers they start with.There are a number of other text conversion tools as well. Now I can see exactly what values were stored in the database. With Boop I paste my text in and then press ⌘ + B to activate and choose PHP Unserialize. Where I used to find some PHP site that would unserialize my text, that’s a security issue in that I have no idea who may be capturing the text on the other end and doing something with it. The second image is of what I see every day with Bartender, a clean menu bar. 2 versions of my menuĪs you can see from the above 2 screenshots, without Bartender my menu bar stretches across the whole screen, and in fact, there is at least one icon that doesn’t show up at all. Bartender helps you tame the menu bar on your Mac. While I knew about SetApp for a while, Bartender was the app that finally made me put my money into the service. While AirBuddy isn’t your one stop shop for all audio on macOS, it’s a big enough improvement over how stock macOS deals with H1 equipped headphones that I install this app as soon as I try to connect headphones and realize I’m stuck with the default tools. This means I can’t see my Sonos speakers when I connect my headphones via AirBuddy. One thing it doesn’t do that the Apple native audio does is show you other AirPlay capable devices. This blocks out my children effectively when I’m having a meeting because kids just make noise and no matter how cute they are it’s annoying during a meeting. I don’t like Transparency mode at all so I simply changed the Meeting mode to put the headphones into noise-canceling mode. Meeting mode enables Transparency mode and turns on the mics in the headphones. Music mode enables noise cancellation and disables the microphone. Default won’t do anything to change the settings on your AirPod’s when they connect. By default, they have three different options.
