@@koush2009 I'm not very familiar with the concept of workflows. I think it’s something related to Alfred, but I never used it enough to 'love it.' I’ll Google it and get back to you. :) In the meantime, I highly recommend checking out Raycast and what it can do. They have some great videos on TH-cam. I believe one of the reasons people stick with Alfred is due to their previous financial commitment-like if they've paid for a lifetime subscription. It makes switching to something else, even if it seems better and free, much harder. You know what I mean? But in the end, it all comes down to personal preference.
@@volodymyr.brodskyi yeah they will first let developers do all the work and take a cut from subscription and few years later, take their ideas slowly so that they dont hurt the developers that dont hurt them at the end
Some of the apps are expensive especially if you live in Turkey like me but I downloaded 3 free apps that you recommend and I LOVE THEM! Thanks a lot for your recommendation and also the clear explaining for the apps. You are amazing, keep up the awesome work!
As much as I enjoy finally seeing Ice getting the attention it deserves (over things like bartender) you really undersold its capabilities, from a second menubar for macbooks with notches to changing the appearance of the bar, there are so many more features ! Great vid btw :)
LookAway is absolutely phenomenal and I've been looking for something like this! I've had eye surgery and fight constant eye strain and dehydration when using a screen at laptop distances (which is a lot of my work-I tend not to have a full desk setup available). Thank you for surfacing this great application!
Thanks for this a lot of new apps which are super interesting. Curious to understand how you format your reminders to have those columns - Today, Tomorrow etc. ?
Hey, thanks for sharing Brandon. I've been wanting a quick colour picker. Pica is perfect. Also, Yoink started playing up, so I'll give drop over a go.
Great list; I'll give the Sparkle a try. I would add VDP (Virtual Display Pro) to the list, as it is just awesome, especially for ultra wide monitors & screen sharing.
These apps seem cool. If only I had a MacBook 😭. Anyways glad to see your making some more unique videos this week. Keep it up Brandon and can’t wait for the Apple event tomorrow!!!
Thanks for the great review of the macOS apps! I was wondering if you could share more information about the safety and privacy of these apps. Are these apps safe to install in terms of security (no malware or malicious activity)? How do these apps handle user data? Do they collect any personal information, and if so, how is it stored and used? Are there any privacy policies or terms of service from the developers that I should be aware of before using these apps? Looking forward to your thoughts on this!
From all these the only ones that i consider useful/essential are clop, cleanshot, bartender (or it seems you use ice as a replacement), for player i use vlc. For handmirror you dont need an app you can just open photo booth in your mac, it does the same thing. Also a great addition to your list would be aldente
Thanks for the Pika mention. I have been needing something like this since I'm not venturing into web development in Wordpress and not all builders are created equal, and offer the CORE functionality of making a website accessible. I did find that it does not always give the correct color codes once I open the inspector of a web page and compare. Wonder why this is...
Great list, getting many of these to try or buy. I hope all work with the next MacOS update... thanks! Do more of these! I use uBar daily.... lame, I know.... Windows will not leave me fully! LOL...
would love to hear why u prefer alfred over raycast, to me its not even comparable. Alfred doesn't feel polished/native, and is gate keeping a lot of features behind a paywall that are just free on raycast. I only tried out alfred for a little, so maybe im missing something.
Hey Brandon I have a question on how I can make a shortcut that automatically mutes my iPhone when I’m in school so the sound doesn’t play. I have the iPhone SE 2022 so i still have a physical mute switch. How would I make a shortcut that mutes the sound when I’m at a specific location or connected to a specific WiFi
Still waiting for your video: Top 15/20 useful and everyday use iPhone shortcuts/automation😅. Hopefully you’ll make a video on this topic once ios 18 is released.
How to get that kind of a to do list with today tomorrow this week reminders all on one page? 0:37. They are not auto sorted right in the columns according to the reminder date
Brandon, off topic question. I’ve been searching online without success for the following question. Is there anyway to have my iPhone 15 chime at the top of the hour like an old school Casio LED watch? Would be very useful for job related need. Thanks for any reply. 🤙🏼
You can do that with Shortcuts! Check out these threads: www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/13wha6z/how_to_setup_an_hourly_beep_sound_on_your_device/ www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/10pyod3/a_shortcut_that_plays_a_ping_every_hour_dont_ask/
What's your most used Mac app? 🤔
VN Video Editor
@@CoreCraftedTech why VN instead of iMovie or FCP?
I love this app "notchnook" which turns your notch into a "dynamic island" and you can store files in there, its so useful and super aesthetic
@@_Mr_moo ooh nice! I'll check that out for when I'm using my MBA
@@BrandonButch I only use VN for my TH-cam Channel. I do use quite a bit of iMovie for other Videos.
Try Raycast instead of Alfred, I can't even compare the two given how mind blowing Raycast is, it's unreal
way better in every way
@@BLTDFRNT I said in the video that I’ve used it. I prefer Alfred
Does it have Workflows?

Raycast = ❤
10 Mac apps I just downloaded and purchased full version. Now my Mac is super productive. Thanks a lot Brandon 💌
Sparkle looks like something Apple should be shipping as part of MacOS!
YES! I agree
No one is talking how incredible you your videos are recently the editing is delicious
Sparkle is way too expensive. Llamafile is free and uses local models.
@@TheFloatingBartender thanks man!!
@@nexuslux I’ll check it out!
This might be the most informative/helpful app video I've ever seen. Literally every single app is valuable and worth checking out. Subscribed!
LookAway should be a default feature on every OS.
Agree
will wait next release MacOS. Apple likes to take idea from developer. List of it is infinite
@@volodymyr.brodskyi yeah they will first let developers do all the work and take a cut from subscription and few years later, take their ideas slowly so that they dont hurt the developers that dont hurt them at the end
wow, I've seen a lot of these types of videos and only this one has had actual useful apps, I downloaded 5
Awesome! Glad to hear it

This is a great list right here - not the same apps you see in these videos again and again. I found several that I’m downloading!
Thanks man! Glad you found some 🙌

I love watching Brandon Butch videos and mac app videos…fire combo!! 🔥 can you make this a monthly/yearly series of cool iPhone/Mac apps you find?
The Apple-like UI editing in this video was exceptional!
@@ReviewswBryz thanks!! 🙌
Clop was an insta-buy. Thank you for showing this off! Great tool to have in my pocket (well...not necessarily my pocket, but you know what I mean...)

amazing video, paid for a lot of these apps after watching because they've helped me so much in my workflow
@@realslushy Thanks! glad you found some worthwhile apps!
the editing on this video is just amazing fr
For the clipboard manager, Alfred and also window manager I consolidated all that with Raycast
Yeah I gave Raycast a try last year, wasn't a big fan
Thanks for this a lot of new apps which are super interesting. Curious to understand how you format your reminders to have those columns - Today, Tomorrow etc. ?
Finally, some MacOS content! 🙌 started to zone out from this channel due to all the iOS tripe.
🤝 More Mac content otw!
really good tips
What a great video.
I only like videos I wanna save for later. I have saved 34 in my entire life. Yours is 35th. ❤
this is honestly the first time a mac app video has had consistently great applications, well done!
super aesthetic video!
Hey, thanks for sharing Brandon. I've been wanting a quick colour picker. Pica is perfect. Also, Yoink started playing up, so I'll give drop over a go.
Hyped for the Event tomorrow! Can I get a hey? 😄
HEY! I'm hyped as well
Great, thank you 😃🙌
Well done Brandon, these are some really good ones! 👏
Thank you so much for the tip on Ice. Simply amazing and straight to the point.
Actual useful video, not video just to make a video, thx man
Is there a way to hide the purple square for screen sharing in the menu bar with ICE or other way ??
This is legitimately a great list!
Amazing video as always Brandon !
see ya tomorrow for your live of the apple event ;)
I just installed Hand Mirror ... THANKS👍🏽
🔥Yep, had to try. Love this. Great video!
Thanks for the tip on IINA, Brandon! Looks really good, much better than QT!!
Wow… Gold!
Thx for sharing! 🙌🏻
Absolutely! Hope you found an app or 2 to download!
Thanks for the overview! I’m going to give Clop a try
Great list; I'll give the Sparkle a try. I would add VDP (Virtual Display Pro) to the list, as it is just awesome, especially for ultra wide monitors & screen sharing.

any recommendations on a pdf editing application to change some words within the pdf file?
Hey brandon I would much appreaciate if you could tell me where can I find how to make that Apple like transition with text?

HOW DO YOU PREFER ALFRED OVER RAYCAST???
@@jeremyw013 many, many reasons. Lol
@@BrandonButch i’m going to need a full-length video on this 😂😂😂
@@jeremyw013 🤣🤣 maybe one day. I think it’s really just personal preference/what works best in my workflow versus others’

Great and informative video! (Doing a great job keeping up with content, even with a severe lack of IOS Beta releases lol)
Thanks! Did you find any apps to download?

what are some external webcams that arent too large for macbook pro? razer kiao is agood one i heard
How did Brandon open tabs inside the folder like that at 2:16? I have a Mac and I can't figure this out but seems so useful
Right click
CMD+T in Finder
Raycast cleans the floor with Alfred
Ice! Thanks
If i buy Macbook i will use almost everything from this video
Is the macOS Sequoia beta stable?
I didn't expected you to pop up in a corner when launching hand mirror LOL
This video was worth the time 🔥
Yea, sparkle. Something to sort things where you don’t want them
Jump scare at that Sparkle UI yeesh
would love to hear why u prefer alfred over raycast, to me its not even comparable. Alfred doesn't feel polished/native, and is gate keeping a lot of features behind a paywall that are just free on raycast. I only tried out alfred for a little, so maybe im missing something.
Paste PAL sounds great. I also like cleanshot and Pika
2:43 How do you have the folders on the top like that in finder?
Wait, random question, but is iPhone Mirroring coming with the public release of Sequoia?
@@ErnestAboagye-Mensah yep!
I use Alfred for many years!
Yay brandon my airpods max comes in tomorrow:)
