Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.
I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.
I prefer using built-in features rather than downloading an app for every task: 1. Alfred = Spotlight 2. Moom = Press and hold option+move your cursor over the green button on the top left corner of the window -> move window to left or right 3. Amphetamine = Terminal -> type command "caffeinate". Or "caffeinate -t 600", to keep your Mac awake for 10 minutes 4. Cleanshot X = Cmd+shift+4
spotlight does everything you showed Alfred does and more. it even gives answers to currency conversions on spotlight itself so you doing have to load google
Spotlight does exactly everything that alfred does. Especially your currency conversion example I tried it in spotlight and had the answer before I finished typing it
This is great that you showed all these applications and I hope that most of people will find it useful. But to me these are so non-essential things. I feel like I would have to force myself to use those if I had to.
Agreed. Raycast is so much more than an Alfred replacement. For example, you could easily substitute Amphetamine as well with Raycast's "caffeinate" function.
Very glad I found your channel, informative and very knowledgeable individual that kept it fun and interesting the whole time thru. I will be checking into many of the applications that you mentioned!
Thanks for your videos Ali. Just wanted to tell you that your laptop skin is the prettiest skin ive ever seen. Want to use it as my wallpaper, please upload a jpg version of it

But I wish you use Chromium (like he said) instead of WebKit. Really love the way you approached to "vimium" my behaviour. But I switched to Arc just because they use chromium.
How on EARTHHHHH did this not get pushed to me on TH-cam?! I had to go and find this manually meanwhile I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video since 2022. Thank you, Ali. Pumped.
Hello, Ali! These videos are my favorite- I wish you did them more often. One thing I noticed from the previous months, why did you switch from Todoist to Things 3?
Thanks for this informative video. It's been 10 years since I've used an Apple device. But tomorrow I'll be back with the MacBook Air M2 and I'm looking forward to rediscovering the Mac!
Hey! if you use app nr.3 Amphetamine, you are able to keep the display of your second monitor on and fully close your Mac book without it having to be on charge
I pay for Macbooks to reduce friction and doing things fast and efficient. Time adds up and its super annoying to wait for basic functions. Mac OS + M1 Chip = best match!

4. Cleanshot X = Cmd+shift+4
same
Cmd+shift+4 didn't work for me
@@Ayoubfad its 3
Cmd-Shift-5 for me
but i's not even close if we talk about functions :)
spotlight does everything you showed Alfred does and more. it even gives answers to currency conversions on spotlight itself so you doing have to load google
Have you tried raycast before? Find it the best of those apps
Yeah spotlight underrated
you woke up and decided to speak facts
I used raycast these days
But you cant add URL shortcuts in spotlight to specificatie website pages :)
I switched from Alfred to raycast last year, think you’d also like it, it has native functionality for what your using moom for also
I will try that out.
Yes, also using raycast. Wouldn't go back to Alfred.
raycast is incredible
Yep, it was kinda weird to see him using Alfred when Raycast has all this and soooo much more functionality.
I can't find raycast in my apple store, any ideas?
Finally the study playlist is live!! Thank you so much Ali!!! I’ve been waiting for this glorious day 🥲
If you get MacBook then have mercy and give me the old one if possible thanks

Bro doing the lord’s work
Always appreciate people who do this for these kind of videos. Provides clarity.
Thanks!!🙏
Loads of great suggestions. Some seem to repeat or overlap though. Delivered well altogether. I've adopted some of these.
Spotlight does exactly everything that alfred does. Especially your currency conversion example I tried it in spotlight and had the answer before I finished typing it
Yeah, everything he used as an example, spotlight already does.
This is great that you showed all these applications and I hope that most of people will find it useful. But to me these are so non-essential things. I feel like I would have to force myself to use those if I had to.
Thanks for the shoutout, Ali! We're so honored to be one of your favorites 💜
Over 90% match with my favourites 👍but using Cron instead of Fantastical, Craft instead of both Obsidian&Notion
I agree. There’s just something about Craft that I really love.
Excellent Ali.
Today, it’s nice to see Classic Ali with the Grey Top. Takes me back to the first video of yours that I saw.
Broooo, the thumbnail looks soooo gooood, just love the perfect amount of exposure and colours in it!😍
You gotta switch to Raycast from Alfred - it's life changing (I'm an Alfred Powerpack user)
Agreed. Raycast is so much more than an Alfred replacement. For example, you could easily substitute Amphetamine as well with Raycast's "caffeinate" function.
You’re so intelligent I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot getting thru your vids.
Another video concept rehashed with the same apps for the millionth time. Fantastic. Full time TH-cam paying off big time!
terminal "caffeinate", or if you prefer an app easy switch, include tons of options
Masha Allah Ali bhai ... you've been so helpful to me alhamdulillah for my studies
May Allah bless you more ✨️
This Guy's life is 101% Productive
Scihub reference was kinda satisfying. 😂
Ohhhh that Alfred App is the best!! Thanks for the tip!!
You don't need Alfred to do any of the things shown in this video. You can do all of them natively with Spotlight.
Don’t apologize for the length of this video! One of your best! Really helpful… Thanks much! 😎👍
Bro, please make a video on --how to use any app in full screen , overlapping the notch bar (basically in macbook air m2 and upgraded line up models)
Raycast is an amazing, free, and in many ways better, alternative to Alfred. Full of extensions to integrate it with so many other apps!
Very glad I found your channel, informative and very knowledgeable individual that kept it fun and interesting the whole time thru. I will be checking into many of the applications that you mentioned!
You were researching about warikoo ? loved the moment of seeing two of my favourite TH-camrs
Wish I had Zotero in my Academic Career so that I didn’t have to have to undergo panic to get my references and citations in order.
Thanks for your videos Ali. Just wanted to tell you that your laptop skin is the prettiest skin ive ever seen. Want to use it as my wallpaper, please upload a jpg version of it

Super useful video thank you

Use Rectangle instead of Moom... much intuitive and customisable
Hello, Ali! These videos are my favorite- I wish you did them more often. One thing I noticed from the previous months, why did you switch from Todoist to Things 3?
Ali has new glasses, I definitely see a difference!
Bet he’s does too.
Looooove you!!! Thank you this is super helpful!
2:59 Aunkur Waikroo is a student of his TH-cam academy
Thanks for this informative video. It's been 10 years since I've used an Apple device. But tomorrow I'll be back with the MacBook Air M2 and I'm looking forward to rediscovering the Mac!
Wow, this video was so helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on this topic
For your study spotify list, can I recommend two tracks from the Destiny2 soundtracks: 'Journey' and 'Deep Stone Lullaby'
We NEED another live!! Pls!!🙏
1:07 Wow thats so coool... Its 100% exactly like you would do it with spotlight man... wtf. This pitch had throwback bad infomercial vibes.
I honestly believe some of these apps are overlapping one another and making you less productive (if you actually use them all).
Great content though.
Hey! if you use app nr.3 Amphetamine, you are able to keep the display of your second monitor on and fully close your Mac book without it having to be on charge
Ali, Any suggestions for Windows 11 User? 🏜️
Switch to Windows 10 or MacOS
This is the video I´ve been waiting
Was so beneficial; thanks again. I bought MOOM :)
I pay for Macbooks to reduce friction and doing things fast and efficient. Time adds up and its super annoying to wait for basic functions. Mac OS + M1 Chip = best match!
Have your tried Arc browser? Such a pretty design, similar workspace concept as sigma
This video just changed my life lol. Thank you
why don’t you do cmd + shift + 4 to screenshot? so much easier & quicker
Thank you Ali. All the best
Cool video, brother! Keep it up!
Hi Ali I really love your content can you please do a video on how you use Day One please :)
Spotlight built in literally does everything Alfred does. Your just making the keyboard shortcut to activate it longer.
Amazing video! Super help thanks for the awesome work
Raycast over Alfred everyday of the week. You'll love it.
Ankur Warikoo is Ali Abdaal's TH-camr Academy student? What?...
Thanks bro; you are so lovely and enjoyed it
New video from the best!!!
Bear for writing / note taking / list making
What’s the video editing tool you use man? I really enjoy your content 🎉
Raycast is now the new better Alfred. Heck even Spotlight now outshines Alfred.
I just texted every example you did and Spotlight does everything Alfred did.
I'm a Samsumg person. For real. But I'm kind of contemplating the idea of trying some mac stuff. Thanks for the video!!
Spotlight can do google search. Or whatever your default search engine is.
just add downloads folder or any folder to dock, its faster. 1 click. you can also do currency conversion in the calculator btw.
great list! did you replace Todoist with Things 3?
Thanks Ali Bhai 🙏🏻All suggestions are awesome.
An updated calendar video would be great
Could you make an updated iPad Apps Video it would be great
pls make an ipad app video
Nice! When are you coming to Graham Stephans podcast? Still waiting for it!
My fav TH-cam channel ❤
Ali - liking the desktop background. Could you guide us on where to find it? Thank you, sir!
14:38 is the part when I have witnessed Ali being the most South Asian person he can be!
Video on Obsidian PLEASE 🥹🥹🥹
Thank you, Ali! 👍
Use tiling window manager like yabai!!!
Oh interesting. I was thinking of picking up an M2 Mac Mini as well.
It's been 4 years trying to be someone like you but I couldn't. Hope I can achieve it soon
dont give up
Question… how do you find different scientific journals / studies? Do you have any websites you would recommend?
Google scholar in general, then pubmed for medical articles
Usually your institution or school gives you access to databases. You can also try asking your local library.
@@eska6722 local library! Great idea. Thanks :)
I know you dont use apple music but please make the playlist available for apple music fans!
why do i feel more anxious after watching this video than prior
I didn't know you were from Pakistan until this Vid. Although I am not from Pakistan, I grew up there. It's good to know! Keep Up the Good Work :)
Alfred does not make any sense anymore. Spotlight is doing all the same natively
Smoothly done advertising your youtube academy by showing someone who is blowing up right now
So what's the difference between Notion and Obsidian?
15:13 Love this Part 🇵🇰
Not sure if I missed it but I wasn't able to find the free course you did on Final Cut Pro editing?
Hopefully one day I can afford Mac and will come back to this videos🤞
i am doing this on my hackintosh
@Ismael Ibrahim 😂
I don't know how many of you notice that. But Ankur wariko is one of the youtube academy student and he is selling course in India..Wow
i genuinly did not expect ankur warikoo to be your student
nice apps, nice tips, nice video
Rectangle is better than moon its has got many features to resize window
Sir you are an inspiration
I’ll have to start using these!
Amazing how you find these kind of trivia
Just bought my first ever Macbook! Anyone recommend any more additional apps?
Also add how much money one needs to spend additionally! On window’s probably this productivity will be at free 😂
