![]() Wherever I turn in the Apple world, my freedom is being diminished. I can't use the App Store with 1Password the way I do other web sites because it's not a web page, it's a separate program. And I have to sign into the App Store every time. I'm not going to address the larger problem of how developers are treated. There are problems with functionality programs downloaded from the developer are sometimes better than the App Store versions. I don't need the App store to take over a simple task. I dislike the App store installing programs on my computer. I use tabs all the time in Firefox, but of course you can't do that on the App store, forcing you to do a lot of back and forth. They are poorly organized and poorly described. It's as though after Steve Jobs died, his psychotic characteristics remained in the company, but none of the good ones. Private property and the ability to repair your own products are next in line. I'm plenty unhappy about the existing ways Apple keeps me tethered to the mothership and fiddles with my computer without my knowledge. There are many reasons to avoid the App store. It's just as convenient for me go to MacUpdate or PureMac or a developer's web site. This formatting will be saved in the file and can be imported into other programs like Word.Hmm, yes, automatic, convenient. ![]() You can use special characters like # and * to transform a line into a headline, make a word bold and so on. The only thing it cares about is letting you write without any distraction. iA Writer doesn’t care about formatting or a lots of options. If you write a lot on your Mac, then you might get distracted by all the formatting options of Word or Pages or by all the open browser tabs. On top of that, Laplock will trigger a loud alarm sound to scare off that bad guy who thinks he can take away your Mac. Whenever you have to leave your Mac for a short while, you can turn it on and get an SMS the second someone unplugs your Mac’s power cord. Laplock is an alarm tool for exactly those situations. Do you have enough trust in humanity to leave your Mac unattended for a few minutes? Hell no! So you either take it with you to the toilet or you wait until you’re done working, go pee and then leave. What’s one of the most annoying things that can happen when you’re working on your Mac in public places like a library or Starbucks? Yes, having a full bladder. Update: Laplock cannot be downloaded from the official website right now, but you can still get it here. Here are a few commands to give you a better idea: Flashlight allows you to add plugins to your OS X Yosemite Spotlight search to make it much more powerful than it already is. It offers a huge list with many commands to choose from, which you can then add to Spotlight. Nope, this is not an app that turns your mac screen into a bright white flashlight. Since it’s quite a steep price for a calendar app, you can download a trial version through Fantastical’s website to see if it’s worth the money. The good thing is that Fantastical supports the same reminders as OS X which means that you don’t have to deal with two separate to-do lists. It can be accessed easily from your menu bar and you can create new events or reminders by typing in things like “Conference call with Alex and Theresa tomorrow at 11AM” or “Remind me to call dad tomorrow at 8PM”. Check out their video to see how it works.įantastical is a great alternative to Apple’s native calendar app. Plus, I think the security of your most important online accounts is worth more than 50 bucks. ![]() Trust me, it’s worth the money! It’s extremely convenient to use and offers great features such as Dropbox syncing. The price tag of $49.99 might drive people away but, after trying out other tools like Dashlane or KeePass, I finally decided to give 1Password a try. 1Password – $49.99ġPassword is hands down the best password manager tool you can get. This way, you don’t have to go back to your Facebook browser tab all the time to reply. Probably the best feature is the chat window that you can use to talk to your Friends. Current is a native Mac app that lets you access your notifications, chat messages and friend list. Now, after using it a little longer, I must say that this statement is still true but only for people who use Facebook Chat a lot. I wrote about Current a while ago and called it “ the best way to use Facebook on a Mac“. ![]()
