I often find myself staring at the screen trying to figure out how to actually create a new note. Mostly because the interface is different on every device I use it on: Windows PC, MacBook Air, iPad, iPhone, through the browser. I keep saying I don’t like it-and that is true. Here’s a confession (to myself as much as to you all):Īn app that I use and rely upon way more often than I want to admit is Evernote. I really like Agenda but I haven’t sorted out the best way to use it yet.
#Mac copyless software#
And SnagIt.įor bigger non-utility software DEVONthink is by far the most useful. The only multiple clipboard app I’ve seen that matches it is PasteBot.įor utilities, I probably use Typinator and BetterTouchTool more than any other.
#Mac copyless full version#
It does everything the full version of CopyLess does and more (like editing of items while in the clipboard, or an extremely useful screenshot-to-RAM utility). >-A clipboard history manager (I use CopyLess Lite).Īfter the multi-clipboard app PTH_Pasteboard bit the dust (resurrected by the dev, years later, as PasteBot) I used CopyLess when it had a different name, then was upgraded into the current name/version for free.īut I decided I preferred Copy ‘Em Paste and switched to it a couple of years ago. Typeeto (used only occasionally-for typing quickly on iPhone from Mac). Easy Screen OCR (for extracting text from images). AppBeBack (to see a list of most recently closed apps-useful when I accidentally close the wrong window with the pointer and am not sure which window I closed). A clipboard history manager (I use CopyLess Lite). A browser chooser (I currently use Browser ChooserX, although I’m nostalgic for MultiBrowser). An app launcher that adapts to my work-flow (I’m currently using the free version of Alfred). (I have BetterTouchTool configured for this purpose, but there are many other options.) Something to enable true (Windows-like) maximization of windows. It’s implementation of keyboard-centric manipulation of tags and folders is without equal, although searching my large database is quite slow.)īut perhaps more to the point in terms of the question being posed, the most essential 3rd-party utilities for me on Mac are: (I also continue to rely on The Hit List, not so much for tasks, but for quickly recording bits of tagged information. I agree that Keyboard Maestro is indispensable.īy far the most helpful and valuable software that I use is Tinderbox, which I would recommend to any Mac user who isn’t averse to a bit of tinkering. I felt the same with the Directory Opus when I used to have Windows.ĭo you guys have any software/tool/method/trick that you helped you so much that you are under the impression that non-users are missing out?

it simplifies my life on so many levels that I find it hard to believe that I have spent many years without it. If you are a Mac user and never use Keyboard Maestro, my attitude is you are missing big time. Any software/tool/trick that you believe everyone needs to use?
