September 9, 2023 Most iPhone and iPad users are familiar with the option to change font size in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Phone, Notes, and other apps that support Dynamic Type. To do this, simply go to Settings > Display & Brightness, then choose Text Size and use the slider to select your preferred font size....
August 12, 2023 Recently, I have needed to find some important files that were a few years old. I had forgotten the names of the files, but of course I knew the content of the files and I knew they were on my iCloud Drive. Finder didn’t find the files, no matter how many ways I searched. I remembered that I had...
June 4, 2023 In this blog post, I want to introduce you to three essential Mac apps: Alfred, Drafts, and PopClip. These apps have become the backbone of my daily routine, enabling me to navigate, capture, and process information with remarkable efficiency. Let’s delve into each app’s unique features and see how they...
December 29, 2022 I love Goodlinks as my read-it-later app. Even though I love it and think that its the best reading experience of all read-it-later apps I've still been using Instapaper for its Share All Notes feature. Since I would like to use Goodlinks exclusively, I started wondering if I could replicate this...
December 28, 2022 Fastmail is a fantastic email provider that consistently delivers high-quality service. From the moment I signed up 7 years ago, I have been impressed with the user-friendly interface and wide range of features available. The customization options allow me to tailor my inbox to my specific needs...
December 26, 2022 Dallin Crump For several months I made do with only a desktop. Now I also have a laptop (again). But do I really need both? Having a laptop again has reminded me of how nice they are in terms of flexibility and portability. Yet I also like the desktop’s power and ease of repairs and upgrades. But...
September 24, 2022 Kev Quirk Back in 2018 I decided I was ditching Android for an iPhone. Since then my Apple devices have continued to grow. Have I become a fanboy? I recently bought my seventh Apple device to add to my ever growing collection of iStuff. Here’s what I currently own: This reminds me of my iCreep...
August 22, 2022 There is one app that is the backbone for everything that I do on my Mac. That app is Alfred! Most folks refer to Alfred as a launcher, but it is so much more. I use it for text expansion, finding files, launching apps, clipboard history, and more. No bullshit, this is the app that I use most on my...
January 4, 2021 Dropbox has taken a lot of heat from users lately. They aren’t happy with the app that’s now part of the Dropbox install. Like me, most users would like to have the Finder integration only. That said, I only have a couple of Dropbox folders that I would like to have on my Mac but I don’t want them...
July 8, 2020 I have been trying a new read-it-later and bookmark manager app GoodLinks by Ngoc Luu the developer of 1Writer. In my opinion, GoodLinks is one of the best read-it-later apps out there. The reading experience is excellent. Articles and reading position sync between devices via iCloud. And best of all...
