Rectangle is free, open-source and offers pretty much all the same features, so I prefer that over Magnet. Also as others mentioned, IINA is a better alternative to VLC, and is free and open source as well.
The find feature is also in spotlight. Just hold down option and click the file. The UI is better. I still think spotlight is way better. // IINA is a great player. Free.
I actually find Spotlight to be the clunky one, compared to Alfred. Alfred is always faster, the UI is simpler, the keyboard shortcuts makes it faster, no need for a mouse whatsoever… With themes you can even make it look more like Spotlight.
@@edvard_r yeah im all for stock features, but for some reason spotlight is slower than Alfred. its basically the same for me except faster. kind of like how I use safari, but safari always misses suggestions. like I type: "you" and hit enter and I hit enter before it finds TH-cam. chrome finds it instantly. but I still use safari.
Some of my must-haves you’d didn’t mention: - Bartender to clean up my menu bar (SetApp) - AppCleaner to uninstall apps (easy, free, Edit: you mentioned it) - Tooth Fairy to easily connect to Bluetooth devices with ONE click in the menu bar. Can’t live without it! - Fantastical for calendar. It’s such a great calendar app, with its menu bar calendar and fast natural language processing. macOS/iOS/iPadOS syncing. Best calendar. - The native macOS sticky notes app (like digital post-its) - Pipifier (one click Picture in Picture in Safari)
Fantastical used to be an app I recommended but their change to the subscription model was just crazy for a calendar app, and not worth it in my view. The other apps you recommend are pretty cool though.
I bought a mac last week. I’ve literally already used all the tips and downloaded the utilities you’ve suggested in your previous Videos. I was prepared to do this even before I had a Mac. Thanks mate.
Great list. I’m surprised Apple hasn’t purchased Alfred...yet (or the unarchiver).😳 Never heard of Snazzy Labs. It reminds me of AirTable though. Looks interesting. Magnet is also a good find. I’ve been using Spectacle (using keyboard shortcuts). I’ll be looking into Magnet. Thanks!
Keka is better than the unarchiver imo. It can compress files whereas the unarchiver can't, and it's free & open-source. It's paid on the App Store if you want to download from the Mac App Store and support the dev
AdGuard has browser extensions that are completely free btw. You only pay for the full app to run on the whole mac blocking everything, but browser-only extensions do the job just fine and are free.
I have Alfred installed for 2 days now. I don't like it that much. I usually use Siri to check the spelling. But Spotlight is actually better for me. It has Siri knowledge (very very helpful), and really I can ask it anything. I know it's the same if I hit enter in Alfred to search google, but I prefer spotlight. But I still have Alfred (on alt space), because it's actually very helpful for commands. Like force closing apps, or shutting down etc.
If you use close captions or subtitles when you watch TH-cam or Netflix on a Mac you might have already noticed that the screen colors change a bit when the subtitles appear and disappear and it's quite annoying. I solved this by downloading Simple Screen Shade from the Mac App Store and setting the effect to 0%. It doesn't change the brightness at all, but it does prevent the colors from changing when the subtitles appear and diaappear
Did you know that Spotlight Search is being copied by Microsoft? They include a very similar looking search bar in their Power Toys for Windows 10 and it activates with the same shortcut but with Windows keys rather than macOS keys... It's got the same color, the same kinda round corner design and so on...
One of my absolute favorite mac app right now is Bartender, since I have a crap ton of login items that just run in the menu bar. Im also a big fan of Ubersicht. Getting fully customizable widgets on your desktop is a must have.
Yeah, Mactracker is really handy for looking up tech specs of all Apple devices, and I use it surprisingly often. It's a bit foolish, I know, but I've made a list of all Macs and Apple stuff I've ever owned in my life (including my Newton 2100 I still own). I like it a lot!
Spectacle is probably better than magnet, more snapping options, free, but it is keyboard shortcut based, which imho is better, but for some users might be worse.
Be aware that Spark log into your email directly from their servers. They store your login credentials. Read their privacy policy for specifics. It seems like they’re using this responsibly but it’s something you should still be aware of.
I just found your channel and you may have to take out a TRO on me because I’m spending so much time here. Will you do a run down on Mailbutler and Sunsama? I always want ro get rid of Mailbutler but keep going back to it for their invisible “ your email’s been read” feature and snooze and call-back features that no one else seems to have. Dammit. Sunsama is fantastic all around, and I’d love to hear your instruction on it. Thanks for all your videos. I’ll go back to lurking in the bushes now.
You mentioned/reviewed PDFpen, but why not PDF Expert? It's made by the Readdle team (like Spark) and I think it does all the same things that PDFpen does. Also, I'm interested to know what calendar you use. I've tried Fantastical, PocketLife, Gmail Calendar, and the native iPhone calendar. They all have their advantages, but one of the things I like about the native iPhone calendar is that the icon shows the day and date. None of the other ones seem to do that. The problem is: the iPhone calendar lacks in other areas. What do you think?
Awesome Video, wonderful workflow on Notion. Is it possible to share the workflow as a template? I've just started working on a podcast and this would really help out. Thanks
If I'm trying to start content creation/creative writing and/or a podcast, do I _need_ something like Ulysses or can I wing it with any text editor? I'm using Pages and usually on the go with my iPad so I often get frustrated at the formatting limitations but don't really want to drown myself in paid subs. I'm FOR SURE checking Setapp because that one looks like a steal and had never heard of it before 🤯
just about to get Ad Guard, very good looking thanks!.....is there anything you would recommend as an overall 'cleaner/uninstaller/ram freer' like CleanMyMac X?....or even a VPN? I noticed AdGuard does a VPN too at a yearly subscription. Is that worth checking out?
People who cherish their privacy should have a careful look over the Setapp privacy policy. The number of premium programs it provides are not actually $4.99 per month. They collect very personal information about you, your device, your system, and exactly what you're doing in the apps.
This was weird for how "Macs cost more" it was... almost none of these Apple specific apps provide any functionality over what's free on Windows, and they all cost. (That's why there's Mac specific development at all, for what it's worth) I will say though, Alfred is a kick in the teeth to not have on Windows. I love using it on Linux and it's just so bizarre to have FOSS not on Windows. Oh well.
I am looking for a substitute for Folders Factory and haven't found one. The developer's site has disappeared and the app doesn't work with newer Macs. Got any suggestions?
Hey Quinn any recommendations for a pdf editorial for a college student? And maybe best Mac Apps foe college student video? Thanks for all the effort you put in the videos. Much love from Mexico.
If you edit a PDF you're a terrible person. If you want to edit it, edit the source file. The whole point of PDF is that it is immutable and the same everywhere
Well, sometimes finding the source file and opening the appropriate program for it can be a huge hassle for a quick fix. For example typo in a PDF exported from InDesign or Photoshop.
... Only one I'm getting is Mac Tracker. The rest I already have workflows to deal with that I prefer personally. But I use the Everymac website a lot so yea
Sensei, and any app with "Trim Enabler" makes them seem like scams when you look at how much they cost... TRIM is not a feature that they invented, nor is it a "custom driver" that is going to make any difference, because TRIM is already enabled on most Macs with SSDs by default. Check About this Mac -> System Report -> SATA/SATA Express and see if TRIM Support is set to "Yes". If so, you have TRIM enabled. If not, then you can enable it through the terminal with a single command: "sudo trimforce enable" and let the system reboot. Done. Free, no external software, no "custom drivers" and you can all the benefits that TRIM provides for a prolonged SSD.
If AdGuard downloads the data before parsing it how can it claim the 'Data Saved 1.05GB'? I just use pihole, you can even run it locally per machine though updates are more of a pain
Maybe you could have indicated which apps are in the App Store and the ones you purchase outside the App Store. Specifically "Sensei" - Not the one in the App Store.
Hey Quinn, any sugestion on RDP from a windows to Mac? I've tried all kinds of VNCs out there and they all suck. Slow, low quality and laggy as hell. I mostly build websites on Mac. Windows is my to go machine. It's a pain switching inputs on monitor.
Things I can't live without - air - water - food - and the grace of my creator - that's all you need - mac - lol - apps - lol - I was repairing apple computers when they ran 6502 processors - they were crap then~!
On Spotlight you can hold Command while pressing Enter or clicking on a file or folder to reveal its location in the finder, like Alfred’s find feature. Won’t replace other Albert features but it’s nice if you’re fine with Spotlight. Also Rectangle is a nice open-source and free alternative to Magnet. Also Keka is an awesome uncompressing utility. Also Karabiner-Elements is amazing to customize keyboard keys, like putting Esc on Caps Lock and making actual use of some weird keys on the TypeMatrix 2030 for example.
Hùng Phạm I’m. It sure it’s that simple. LTT did a video on it and that was indeed the reason they said they found out. Could be wrong though. Ubuntu may just be small fry and not worth Microsofts time- let’s be real here.
Ubuntu and other OSS can do it the same reason ubuntu can read USB thumb drives, that are almost universally formatted using a patented microsoft file system, because of a patent group that microsoft is a part of that lets purely open source (as defined by the OSI) software use their patents for free.
Then how come a paid app is allowed to SELL that functionality? Surely it would be very illegal if they were selling a technology that someone else has patented?
Actually TRIM is enabled by default in all the Macs with SSDs; it's not a feature that comes with Sensei, that allows only to switch it on and off without using the command line
Mine are: 1Blocker (I like to think it's better then Adguard), Copied, Fantastical, Macs Fan Control, Magnet, Amphetamine, DaisyDisk, The Unarchiver, Elmedia Player (the paid version is god sent), Folx (download from their website, not the App Store version, if you want to be able to download torrents), Authy, PDF Expert, Calcbot, Sip (Colour picker), Atom (Electron), Pocket Cast (Just a web wrap, but still amazing podcast app for macOS), Spark (Email), iA Written, Sketch (Think Adobe XD copied Sketch), Affinity (Designer, Photo and Publisher, amazing suite of creative apps). This about does it, among these I have DaVinci Resolve Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Motion (Apple), Handbrake, and yes, because I need most of them for work, Adobe (Premiere Pro, Audition, Animation, Illustrator, Media Encoder, and Photoshop). The Adobe apps are unfortunately necessary evil.
@@makasete30 Just bought Yoing, it's so fine useful when researching for a script/essay. Default Folder is so damn expensive, I like it, but can't justify the price. pop clip is a bit meh to me. I tried swish as well, I keep making mistakes on where I want to put the window, so for me Magnet makes more sense as window manager :D But Doing I really enjoy, thanks for that one!
I already liked the video for the brief Alfred tutorial. I've had it for years, but somehow never noticed some of the features that seem to make it so much more powerful. Thanks, @Snazzy Labs!
good list, Alfred is awesome. I also really like DaisyDisk. It's just a nice looking simple app to show me everything on my drives. I know this is in a totally different direction than the video was going but if you want a GREAT bill keeper / tracker CHRONICLE is fantastic. uses icloud to sync to iOS and has been absolutely rock solid for me. can Not live without Chronicle
I'm so sick of everything moving to 'subscription' based. I miss the days of buying a piece of software and owning it forever...and subscriptions really start adding up very quickly.

Nothing beats how clean and smooth a native feature is. Alred seems cool but also clunky compared to Spotlight. +1 for IINA too

Windows-type snapping was actually patented by Microsoft a long time ago, Apple couldn’t copy it if they wanted to
In my view, snapping is the only way to do window management, everything else is just junk....
Janne Boman true- good thing we had free and cheap apps which bring that functionality.
then how does every linux distro on the planet do it?
Daisydisk - cba to describe but simply put it’s the best disk analyser I’ve ever used. Best ui, one time purchase for paid version and very powerful
Definitely agree. That’s the app to get for freeing up space on the hard drive.
I was here when this video was still processing.

Have you ever try pi-hole as an add blocker? You can block your whole network from ads.
Great list. I’m surprised Apple hasn’t purchased Alfred...yet (or the unarchiver).😳
Never heard of Snazzy Labs. It reminds me of AirTable though. Looks interesting.
Magnet is also a good find. I’ve been using Spectacle (using keyboard shortcuts). I’ll be looking into Magnet.

If you want a free open source video player that is as versatile as VLC and has a native Mac UI check out IINA
For email I use MailPlane (for personal) and Kiwi for Gmail (for business). Both personal and business use GSuite.
I see you have deep technical knowledge and understanding about Apple technologies, so will you do a similar series with iOS apps?
Tot is what I looked for. Now I have SideNote. It´s great. But it´s not jet synced with icloude. They are working on that. Have a look, it´s worth it!
Mac doesn't have window snapping because Microsoft owns the patent. LTT mentioned it in a video.
Swish is so much better
That NOTION app looks very handy for teams, you are very organized
Spectacle is probably better than magnet, more snapping options, free, but it is keyboard shortcut based, which imho is better, but for some users might be worse.
Do you use Spark as your Primary Email Client? What do you use for your primary calendar? THANK YOU! GREAT STUFF!

Mine are: 1Blocker (I like to think it's better then Adguard), Copied, Fantastical, Macs Fan Control, Magnet, Amphetamine, DaisyDisk, The Unarchiver, Elmedia Player (the paid version is god sent), Folx (download from their website, not the App Store version, if you want to be able to download torrents), Authy, PDF Expert, Calcbot, Sip (Colour picker), Atom (Electron), Pocket Cast (Just a web wrap, but still amazing podcast app for macOS), Spark (Email), iA Written, Sketch (Think Adobe XD copied Sketch), Affinity (Designer, Photo and Publisher, amazing suite of creative apps). This about does it, among these I have DaVinci Resolve Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Motion (Apple), Handbrake, and yes, because I need most of them for work, Adobe (Premiere Pro, Audition, Animation, Illustrator, Media Encoder, and Photoshop). The Adobe apps are unfortunately necessary evil.
Good selection. I have a lot of these. You should check out Yoink, DefaultfolderX pop clip and Swish.
@@makasete30 Just bought Yoing, it's so fine useful when researching for a script/essay. Default Folder is so damn expensive, I like it, but can't justify the price. pop clip is a bit meh to me. I tried swish as well, I keep making mistakes on where I want to put the window, so for me Magnet makes more sense as window manager :D But Doing I really enjoy, thanks for that one!

Wish you'd indexed this. This video is crying out for that. :-) (especially for follow-up viewing)

Great video. I had Alfred in the OS 8 days and it always broke when Apple updated it's OS. I remember the scars. Maybe worth checking again.
Oh, so you press the alt-right, do you?
14:51 I think that Microsoft has a pattent on window snapping at least that's what I think I head on LTT
I already liked the video for the brief Alfred tutorial. I've had it for years, but somehow never noticed some of the features that seem to make it so much more powerful. Thanks, @Snazzy Labs!
good list, Alfred is awesome. I also really like DaisyDisk. It's just a nice looking simple app to show me everything on my drives. I know this is in a totally different direction than the video was going but if you want a GREAT bill keeper / tracker CHRONICLE is fantastic. uses icloud to sync to iOS and has been absolutely rock solid for me. can Not live without Chronicle
I'm so sick of everything moving to 'subscription' based. I miss the days of buying a piece of software and owning it forever...and subscriptions really start adding up very quickly.
