      Not for everyday use, but a massive time-saver for renaming files and folders: "A Better Finder Rename". Not only marked files, but renames folders AND subfolder content. Can be set to just rename the files, folders, or both. With the native renaming tool I tried to mass-rename folders and nothing happened. Then I got "A Better Finder Rename" and was blown away by its capabilities.

      Yeah bc he should make all the content for you for free. God forbid he make a few bucks after countless hours of research, hours of video shooting, hours of editing, and thousands of dollars in video, audio, and editing equipment. YOU should make a video about free apps and work for free so lazy people can benefit off of your work and then bitch about all the work and research being done for them. FFS🙄

    Hi! Love the video and the apps. Do you know, though, that Apple recommends that you do NOT use Clean My Mac? Why would they recommend against it if it weren’t harmful? I am truly interested because it looks like something I should be using. Any insight? Thank you!

    CleanMyMac!!!!! Amazing and must-have app. Please do a deep-dive on this. I had to use system start-up to disable Adobe creative cloud from launching at start-up as turning this off in preferences did not disable. There are a TON of features besides saving disk space that this app does. Worth every penny:)

    For the drap and drop thing, I see you didn’t use the 3fingers tip : in the accessibility settings , you can choose 3fingers have the same behavior that « hold press » (sorry I am not native english). Really really easy to drag and drop things, move window and other things.

    • @ben-benedict
      @ben-benedict ปีที่แล้ว +1

      3 fingers settings is absolutely fabulous and easy to use but for 5 dollars the drop over app give access to much more than that. of course if it's just for drag and drop one file here and there, go with the 2 or 3 fingers settings.

    • @dandansfu

    Just wanted to point out that Portal 1 and 2 are not compatible with MacOS like Andrew says in the video. Since they are 32 bit apps, they stopped working after version 10.15 Catalina. The Steam page shows this warning, but just wanted to point this out just in case anybody got excited for it.

    Andrew, Hi from Uruguay, just discovered you because I wanted to improve my Imac functionality, Great apps indeed, the only one I will never use again is Clean My Mac, it really made a mess of my Imac. I use Dr. Cleaner elite and have been using it for years. Also does a deep clean . The one I am intrested in is Onyx, did you ever made a tutorial / review about it? Thanks in advance, New subscriber here. Ahh by the way, someone else asked a deeper insight for Craft, Plus one here hehee :) Happy day!

    The best thing about macOS for me is apps for dedicated purposes like hiding icons on status bar, dropzone etc. Windows always had similar things but since windows users mostly not willing to pay for small-but-useful stuff, even small sized battery monitoring programs were feeling so immature. On mac (I think because developers can profit from what they developed even with pretty basic but useful features) apps like you've listed takes my computer using experience to whole new level.

    For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)
