This helped me find some helpful apps for my Mac!
Sweet! Which ones?
9to5Mac Flume iStatmenus
9to5Mac I already have Alfred 3 and i love it.
Sorry for the length folks, got a bit carried away with all of the apps. Next episode will be a bit more concise. Still in a beta phase 🙂
I love the longer videos 🙂
Longer videos are fine 🙂
No need to apologise, the longer the better!
in episode 3 Jeff needs to get back to the clippers!
Haha. For sure.
OMG, I always thought you were white. You sound white.
one of them likes is mine 🙂
Apple needs to pay you a commission. I just dropped ~$20 in the App Store based off this video.
Dude, I love your voice
Hey Jeff what do you use for a to do list app for Mac??
New subscriber. I get daily 9 to 5 news notifications in my notifications. Keep the content coming. This is the first video I have seen from you. Impressed, you are doing a great job. Funny, and good on camera presence too. Way to go !!!!
These are great shows Jeff, keep up the great work!
I am not a Mac user but I love this content…
So you’re not a left docker anymore?
hate that
I use Affinity Photo to replace Photoshop
Affinity Photo is a way better alternative than bloated Photoshop.
following you since idb days and always watch your videos … just a suggestion when it comes to videos of this length, maybe have links in the description which when clicked go to a certain point in the video so we can easily go to the different sections of the video
I like clipy over paste bot, both are great, you should try it, less resource usage
Jeff, thanks for the video. Was just wondering how you set your sync folder to be inside the “Mobile Documents” folder? I can see Mobile Documents within my users Library directory, but I am unable to go inside that directory, and I imagine that would be the same for you? Any help?
This is @rob5standingby on Instagram! THANK YOU for the $50 gift card. Excellent video this week — You showed several apps I’ve not seen that look super handy. I see you’re still rocking the walnut side of the HiRise Pro! I enjoy having you on-camera, it’s quite entertaining. 😀
Nice video! I would use AP to see if i could use it instead of using Photoshop. ATM, i’m paying a monthly subscription, but if i could have just AP and work with that, that would be awesome! I’m using Photoshop mostly for text effects and photo restoration/effects. The book would come in handy i’m sure, to see what the program has to offer!
As for the apps, i will try Flume, would be nice indeed to arrange my Instagram timeline on my Mac! I have Hyperdock,Alfred3,Pixelmator and FCPX, as well as iStat menu’s which i bought the new version from just this week! 😀
Besides those i also have “Yoink” and DaisyDisk. I would like to try Calcbot and Pastebot!
Love the 9to5Mac video’s :-:)
