![]() Top row left to right: iStat Menus (from weather thru the calendar icon), Bartender, & Control Center. I’m just going to get ahead of this now: my menu bar is split thanks to Bartender. Let’s check a combo of my menubar and my apps folder to see what apps I am using, and what they’re being used for: I should use that instead.” Same thing with clipboard managers - I used the one built in to Keyboard Maestro for years, before switching over to Alfred’s, now that I have the Powerpack, it seems like a no brainer to utilize it.Īnd therein lies the main point of this post - do you know what all of your Mac Helper Apps are doing? How much legacy content do you have just hanging around, not doing anything vital, and/or requiring you to spend money on it for a subscription? But then I went “oh, there’s other apps that do this in a better, more powerful way. I remember when BetterTouchTool first added app window management - it was a huge deal for me, as I’d not experienced that before. However, one of the issues arises from having a multitude of apps and utilities that have started to aggressively expand their feature set. Clipboard managers, app launchers, ways to dump snippets of text on demand, controlling audio… that’s just scratching the surface. One of the best parts about using a Mac is the sheer abundence of apps and utilities to help you be productive. One of the conversations that Rosemary Orchard started in prepping for a future episode of the Automators podcast actually gave me a great idea for 2 blog posts - this is the first one of those. I spend a lot of time in our #apple channel, talking about everything Apple news related, along with discussions about hardware & software. Over at the Relay.FM member’s Discord, a lot of different conversations take place about a variety of topics.
