    I recently switched to mac from a lifetime of windows and your series of mac apps/tips have saved my life (i.e. very much made the transition more seamless than I expected). Still have some transition pains, but your suggestions are on point and are actually things that I wanted to download immediately, compared to some other videos I’ve found.
    Anyway, love your humour and presentation style. Followed your channel a couple days ago when I first watched your videos, but I enjoy them so much that I’ve been coming back to them and watching your other ones as well. Thanks for these great vids :)

Thanks so much. I also wanted to download Moom, but ended up installing Rectangle instead because it was free.

    I recently switched from Alfred to Raycast, and I love it. The ability to create extensions using React with good system API’s and documentation got me sold. The eco system might be lacking a bit compared to Alfred, but given enough time I think it will surpass it.

I have tried Alfred in the past, but simply could not get myself to learn all of its features. maybe spotlight search does everything I need. As you suggested, a video highlighting what Alfred can do over Spotlight for users (I am sure it is loaded), would be an absolute gem

    Just FYI MacOS regular screenshot tool has the feature that lets you take those pictures of a window with the shadow or any menu element like a Dropdown-Menu and stuff like that. Just press space after you hit the selective screenshot shortcut. The icon on you mouse will change into a camera icon and any window or distinct menu element can just be clicked to screenshot that way.
    (That being said I think the app is more about the notation features which seems great. Stood out to me that this is a native feature, is all. And it’s a tip I had to learn that is super useful in certain situations.)

      - pressing Option while clicking the window will take the capture WITHOUT the shadow surrounding the window

      I suggest using cmd+shift+4 so you can drag a rectangle (3 shoots the whole screen at once)
      when you press ctrl while releasing the mouse the shot lands in the clipboard (not as file on the desk)
      when you press spacebar you can select a window you‘re hovering over.
      when you press spacebar AFTER having started to drag an area with the mouse you can move the area around.
      annotations and drawings are also possible, the only two things that macos can‘t do:
      -upolad to cloud
      - pixelate areas in the shot

The paid version only adds team functionality such as private chats on a per-email basis, and automatic forwarding or cc'ing. The best thing about it is, it has a auto-categorization API that works far better than gmail's one, and has group "mark as read" and mass deletion functionality. You should use it for like a week, it is amazing.

    I know CleanShot X is veeery similar to the native mac screenshot tool but there was always something that bothered me about it. I was literally this week thinking about trying to find a better screenshot tool and for me the pinned screenshot, ability to choose between saving and copying with a button and the beautiful annotations were a win for me. I downloaded the tool without thinking twice after your video, you should get a commission for that ahhahaha
