Anybody who calls Preview underwhelming needs to spend a month locked in Windows or Linux and tell me how underwhelming macOS’s free PDF reader app is.

@d8nnii_ Месяц назад

Couldn’t agree with you more, Preview when coupled with Quick Look and annotation within Quick Look is simply a V8 engine. Preview does lots of things for free that otherwise is a paid feature in other apps.

@JohnEusebioToronto Месяц назад

Edge is a pretty solid odd reader. Not as good as preview but solid. The PDF situation on Linux is EXTREMELY grim, tho.

@ilm91 3 месяца назад

I would add some more Apps I Can’t Live Without: 1) Pixelmator Pro - the best Photoshop Alternative for Mac 2) Craft - Awesome for taking Notes 3) Speed Player for Safari - to adjust speed of any Video 4) 1Blocker for Safari - to block any ads 5) Encrypto - to secure folders with a password 6) Rectangle - a free App to adjust window size easy and with shortcuts too 7) AppCleaner - delete Apps completely with all files 8) ColorFolder - free App to give all folders colors 9) Downie - dowload any video from web These apps are the reason why I can't go back to Windows ever again

@KeviKhoreo 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the suggestions! How do you like Craft?

@ilm91 3 месяца назад

@@KeviKhoreoI use it for summaries, personal notes and important information for myself. It’s free and the performance on Mac, iPad and iPhone very fast. You can share your notes online via links. And the best feature is, that you can create notes in notes for each line

@BryceDriesenga 3 месяца назад

I would also add Raycast! Can often replace many other apps (like Rectangle), though it'll depend what you prefer

@jo69123 2 месяца назад

Question. I have 2 monitors, and sometimes when I click on a new app "window" and use keyboard shortcuts, the last previous active window still takes those, even though I clicked on a different app, sort of like the "focus" doesn't switch fast enough, it would be awesome if it could be set to switch on mouse focus, I believe the default is "cmd+click" and wait a couple seconds, and then the app is on focus, do you know a way to change this?

@laurapotter1100 4 дня назад

This is great but Macs have had built in file conversion for a bit, you just right click file, go to quick actions and you can convert heir to job or whatever built into the OS. I'm trying som of these other suggestions. Thanks!

You too: it blows my mind, and then it smashes it to the ground three times .. to see your space bar (and mine too, of course) worn out like mine, and comparing it to better looking MacBook keyboards from 2010.. Space bar has a specific problem, I guess… It shows so much… It took TWO weeks in my case just unbelievable…

@gezbo66 Месяц назад

I moved to Warsaw Poland a few years ago and saw a guy in a cafe do it . He went to the counter to get another coffee and i joined him and commented on it. He said ,’ oh it’s safe here, we are in Poland not the UK etc. I was amazed. I love it. But then it is a high trust society and not multicultural either so that helps.
