We've talked about the best free Mac apps on this channel many times before. Open source apps are the bomb, but the simple truth is that sometimes the best things in life aren't free. In this video, I talk about my favorite paid Mac apps, what they do, and why you might want to download them to improve your productivity and efficiency using macOS!

It's kind of fun to see a 18 minutes video took 1 hour and 20 minutes just to shoot !!! Nice apps man btw, you are so good at these videos and really like them these are top level and I always recommend them to people.

COVID brain was something else haha. Also, I tend to set up my little examples in the middle of filming and that takes 5 or so minutes per app. Haha.

I work for a company and they pay me a salary. I use the money to support a family, maintain my house, etc. I wouldn't work for free. I've never understood why people expect free software. If I find a product that provides value, I expect to pay for it. I'll use free software and happy when it's available. But I don't begrudge paying.

@joshuaoehler5796 Год назад

FYI - MacOS text replacement works in Word - I use it on a regular basis - but only when I switch to an alternative language keyboard (in my case, Japanese). That seems to enable the context dropdown which you need to see and confirm the replacement. I know . . . not a great work-around for most people, but it makes sense in my workflow.

@mbvideos4448 Год назад

@TalesOfWar Год назад

The text replacement thing works in anything that uses Apple's text box API's, things like Office use their own rather than the one built in to the OS, so if the developer uses the recommended API's and other elements they get these kind of things for free so to speak. Kind of how apps using the MacOS recommended chrome IU API's were automatically upscaled to Retina 2x when they updated it, without having to change the app itself. The same happened with text when using the above default recommended text API's.

@xEqualsRandom Год назад

I don't think Chrome or Firefox use the text APIs either, and not sure about electron apps, so most Mac users spend a ton of time in apps that don't support those APIs

@chedda7182 Год назад

Is that why the macOS native autocorrect and lookup (dictionary pop up) don’t work in MS apps? That drives me crazy.

@TalesOfWar Год назад

@@chedda7182 Yep. Anything you notice where this doesn't work will be using a non-native text box. Adobe are notorious for doing this too, even their iOS apps use their own so you can't do the @@ space thing to enter your email for example which is annoying when logging in to them all, and there are many, and they love to log you out!

@joshuaoehler5796 Год назад

FYI - MacOS text replacement works in Word - I use it on a regular basis - but only when I switch to an alternative language keyboard (in my case, Japanese). That seems to enable the context dropdown which you need to see and confirm the replacement. For me, this works fine because most of the time I use it to insert Japanese people's names in kanji (Japanese people can have the same name but use different kanji to write it, so each person's written name can be unique and can't usually be guessed by hearing it).

I'm talking case reviews, app reviews/suggestions/lists, random phone accessories (who remembers the Just|Mobile AluPen Pro? I've still got mine)

I didn't buy it, but I did discover that the developer has another very useful app called "Remote Wake Up" which makes it easy to wake up machines on a LAN. Super useful if you have machines in different rooms of your house that you have to periodically fix / manage.

I do have a question...in the paletro review, you translate the page but I'm not sure if there a setting that needs to be set because when i use "translate" in Chrome or Brave, it finds all keywords in my search history on the browser. Is this only possible in Safari?

@randocalrissian9217 Год назад

I need to get set app. So many bangers.

@cmdcreativity Год назад

An app I use all the time instead of Grand Perspective is Daisy Disk! It’s a crucial app I couldn’t live without and it has a great design as well as the ability to collect things for deletion.

@godwinniiaddy7577 Год назад

You just helped me solve a very annoying issue on my 49 inch ultra wide with Menuwhere. Thanks

@dvessel Год назад

About that command palette. You don’t need a third-party app for that. The keyboard shortcut for the help menu will find all menu items and that includes all of your Safari history. The only thing it can’t access is the Apple menu.

@xEqualsRandom Год назад

I don't think all safari history is searchable through the help menu, just the ones that are already in the History menu

@bryanbrandt6892 Год назад

Great video as always! Question -- have you tried this Mac app called Swish before? I've been a Mac user for years and somehow just discovered it last week. Its a window management tool and right out of the box it was very intuitive and customizable. Its similar to BetterTouchTool (which I'm surprised you haven't talked about. Or maybe you have..) but I think it does window management better. Hope you feel better!

After paying for Little Snitch for many years I've recently been using Lulu which is free and open source. It's pretty barebones, but that's what I like about it, apart from appreciating the price tag. Little Snitch is a good example of an app that's now so absurdly expensive I really don't think the devs are doing themselves any favours - not when there's $10 and free alternatives, that essentially do the same job.

@snazzy Год назад

Agree. Haven’t used Little Snitch in a few years and was shocked to find its $40 now.

@toseltreps1101 Год назад
