Thank you so much! Just recently got back into the Apple ecosystem, with my new shiny Macbook Air, went to you immediately for all the Macbook tips and tricks. You are very helpful as I am setting up my Mac, so thanks again Jeff!
This video comes at the perfect time, bc I just purchased my first MacBook two months ago. I'm still building out my Mac layout, trying out different Mac apps, so I'm definitely going to add your recommendations. Thank you, as always, for bringing the best tips on your channel.
I really like the way you zoom in so we can see details no matter what device we are using. Highlighting for emphases also works well and makes you stand out from other app reviewers. I know it is a bit of work, but that's so helpful for viewers. I also like the fact that you have timestamps and an ordered list of the apps reviewed. My only suggestion might be to combine both, so viewers can go to a Timestamp for any follow-up app that they are interested in, without having to figure it out by looking at both Timestamps and the mentioned apps list. Regardless, like your style and the effort you put in to make it so easy to follow. 👍
@@JeffSu Alfred feels more native-y to MacOS, I have tried Raycast and Alfred both. Raycast looks stunning and has all these cool extensions, but for me personally, the Alfred powerpack is insanely powerful and “QUICK” than Raycast. Although I hope they tweak the UI of Alfred to make it ‘look’ more integrated like Raycast, that’s something I wish for!
This video just mac-nified my productivity! 🍏💪 Seriously, this video is packed with pure gold-can’t wait to see the difference. Thanks for the app-solute gems! 😄
Dude I stumbled on this video and I have to say for a video promising to deliver handy apps. You made a video delivering handy apps!! Tomorrow’s coffee is in your honour! ☕️
super helpful video - btw: there is also OCR built in in Shottr... also whilst copying with a possibility to keep/remove line breaks depending on the occasion ;)
Hi Jeff! Great stuff as always. My favorite app from the video is Hyperduck. I have a question about another app - do you use any antivirus apps? Could you recommend one? I want my M1 Macbook Pro to be fast and secure so no personal or professional information can be stolen.
Thanks a lot Jeff! just picked up my 2012 Macbook pro, which had been broken since October last year, from the repair shop. Hopefully these apps will work on it too 💪
Yoo nice video. thanks for the apps! How do you find all those applications? any recommendation or web resources where i can look for other useful apps?
thanks nice video :) made me want to power use the GPT Mac app. a couple of nice tips: Alfred: there is a nice built in Eject all command. Emoji: use globe key + e
Great video and first Local Send will try asap as I often have e issues w airdrop not synching between my iPhone and MacbookPro (have to reboot phone and Mac often for it to work)
@@JeffSu I can really recommend it. It changed how I work a lot and I still discover new use cases every week. The extensions I use most are: Change Case, Clean Keaboard, Coffee, Color Picker, Google Search (with suggestions), Kill Process, Lorem Ipsum (creates filler text), Network Diagnostics and Network Speed, Power Management (gives you a menu bar item to manually start the low power mode), ScreenOCR, Set Audio Devices, Text Decorator, Unicode Symbol Search, Word Count, RUclips Downloader. You could also create your own extensions or use Skripts or Shortcuts with Raycast and of course there are the inbuilt features like QuickLinks (to websites OR to folders and files), Snippets (you can even Store DaVinci Resolve nodes as snippets), Clipboard History (although I prefer the UI of Maccy), Emoji Picker or Window Management. It works especially great in tandem with Karabiner Elements. I would love to see a video from you about it!

Jeff, why no mention of BLIP, it is beyond amazing!!! let me know your thought on it! could be so much better, but WOW. also is that mic arm the Elgato Wave Mic Arm ?
@@JeffSu I dont know how to explain it further. Any tab opened on any device in your safari can be opened from any device that is logged in the same Apple account. So just leave the tab opened on iPhone and open it later on Mac.
I couldn't because Apple VPN blocked all websites with Android-related information for some reason 🤯 On a more serious note I'm a HUGE FAN OF YOUR VIDEOS MACVINCE!!!! Your editing is INSANE 😁
Do you know of an emoji interpreter? I frequently don't recognize the emoji that I see. It's like reading hieroglyphics. Sort of like Rocket in reverse -- Tekcor?
Just watched this, and I have been meaning to try it. however, it appears that Only Switch and Bartender 5 do not play nice with each other, so Only Switch is banished to the dustbin.
Hi everyone, is that a free way on MacBook to configure a mouse that has button for copy and for paste ? Because I found only not free apps for this basic function
@@DanielNeubauer Using the Arc app on your phone, you press share, select "Pin". Or if you're in another app, you can press share and then select the Arc app and it will automatically pin it for you.
Which one was your favorite app?

Why not naming the apps instead in the timestamp ?
@@benjaminmosnier :-) i had the same question. But i think that it i drain several person to look video until to end
I love how you jumped straight to the point
I value your time :)
How to burn through all your precious RAM
So don’t install anything
Keep it clean, delete everything. Save Ram 😂😂
I wonder what takes more RAM: All 10 apps I mentioned or...Chrome 😂
Thoughts why I bought more RAM
Yeah, that’s what you get when you have a 4gb ram.
No MacBook but still watching this with full focus
Haha yay 😁
lol my m2 pro. is in for repairs so I feel this comment 💯

good stuff... it was mentioned BUT Raycast > Alfred by lightyears
I hear that all the time 😂. I really should try it out. What do you like most about Raycast?

@@JeffSu It is the extensions. I know others do it as well but the clipboard history, the quicklinks and the snippets are what sold me on it
Alfred FTW
@@franky0226 I feel the same way!
Great video and awesome recommendations! Already installed a few apps on my apple devices =D Also, happy to see OP references again 🤩
Glad to hear it 😁
Omg I feel attacked... the "stupid way" @ 3:38 in the default Preview app is already smarter than what I do now. 😂
Well....now you know :)
Been waiting for this Mac apps video for quite sometime! Good stuff!!
Hope it didn't disappoint!
If you really need a friend I’m always happy to have more brother. Nice stuff as always!
Thanks so much 😁
Jeff knocks it out of the park again.
Woohooo thanks Martin 😁

I don't use Mac, but you did give me some ideas. Thanks for the video, Jeff!
One day I'll have to make a video on windows.... but I guess this wasn't the day 😂

Hi Jeff! Great stuff as always. My favorite app from the video is Hyperduck.
I have a question about another app - do you use any antivirus apps? Could you recommend one?
I want my M1 Macbook Pro to be fast and secure so no personal or professional information can be stolen.
So I've always been in the camp that macbooks don't need antivirus apps lol
Don't use any of these, your mac comes with Gatekeeper, XProtect, Malware Removal Tool all built in.
Thanks a lot Jeff! just picked up my 2012 Macbook pro, which had been broken since October last year, from the repair shop. Hopefully these apps will work on it too 💪
Just remember to use the Intel versions of the apps (as opposed to the silicon chip version)!
What app do you use to record or edit your videos? Thanks! Great video
You can find everything I use here: www.jeffsu.org/gear/
Yoo nice video. thanks for the apps!
How do you find all those applications? any recommendation or web resources where i can look for other useful apps?
RUclips 😂
Is it wrong to feel all fancy cause I've been using one of these already? 'Cause I do. 🦄
thanks nice video :) made me want to power use the GPT Mac app.
a couple of nice tips:
Alfred: there is a nice built in Eject all command.
Emoji: use globe key + e
Love it, thank you!!!
Great video and first Local Send will try asap as I often have e issues w airdrop not synching between my iPhone and MacbookPro (have to reboot phone and Mac often for it to work)
Let me know if Local Send works out for you!
Excellent..!
I wonder how you keep your Mac on 'plugged in' mode and not charging all the time.
There's a setting in preferences!
What app do you use to record and then edit your screenshares?
You can find everything I use here: www.jeffsu.org/gear/
With raycast you have directly emoji reachable
And there's a great OCR tool in the Raycast store as well
I really should start using Raycast...
@@JeffSumiss you a lot! Yeah. I made the transition to Raycast. We would love to see a video of Raycast similar to the Alfred one.

I never comment on videos but all of these apps are actually extremely useful! Thank you! Subscribed!
Woohooo welcome and thanks 😁

also is that mic arm the Elgato Wave Mic Arm ?
I can't find BLIP, where is it? 😂
Yes it is 😁
@@JeffSu BLIP is like Local Send, but way better, you can send to anyone that has app, so no need to be in same network!!
So very useful. Thank you, I love your content!
Thank you 😁
Great video, Jeff! Keep up the awesome work!
Will do 😁
l one of my favorite youtubers! Thanks for your content, Jeff!
You're very welcome 😁
Regarding the Hyperduck. You can also just leave the tab open on your phone and easily open it on your mac once you get home. That’s what I do.
What do you mean?
@@JeffSu I dont know how to explain it further. Any tab opened on any device in your safari can be opened from any device that is logged in the same Apple account. So just leave the tab opened on iPhone and open it later on Mac.
@@JeffSu Using iCloud tabs
a better option would be blip for file sharing btw Mac, android & ios. Windows version is in active development.
I can't find it :(
Useful and cool video... Subbed to your chanel!
Thanks and welcome 😁
Jeff It's time for windows apps also now !!
I have been thinking of buying a Windows laptop for a while now 😂
10:10 Where did you record the footage? It looks like subway in Shenyang :D
It's in Shanghai :)
Great video, Jeff. I see you're still not using Raycast... DO IT!
I've been putting it off.... 😂
Unnecessary
I really like your sense of humor. The video was great, thank you for it, and keep up the good work!
Haha thank you!
Nice one, and I don't even have a Mac and I have addroid? phone ;)
😂
Where do you get all the energy from Jeff? 🙂
coffee :)
Localsend seems to work some of the time...when it feels like it.
Wait really? Which operating systems are you using?
@@JeffSu iOS, macOS, Fedora, zorinOS, Manjaro
Localsend.. thanks for recommending this!
No problem 😁
try BLIP even better than Local Send, send to anyone with App, i love it!!!
Very useful. Thanks
No problem!
Jeff Su, nice content bro
Thank you!
Doesn't the default screenshot app already select text from a picture? Is my mac special?
You need to perform two steps without an app: You take a screenshot then select the text
@@JeffSu You can have a shortcut for it, so only one step.
Would love to see a What’s on your phone video
Gotcha 😁
Was waiting for this!
Did it deliver?
@@JeffSu Oh boy, Hell yes!🙌🏻
how about snapdrop instead of local send? it's just a browser window with the same capabilities as airdrop
I came across this in my research! I think technically Local Send can actually work without wifi but Snapdrop needs an internet connection?
@@JeffSu BLIP is better than both of these :-). check it out!!!
is there a version of image optim but for videos?
I need a GUI video converter!
That's a great question...I should find out more
Thanks Jeff great video, very very useful
Anytime 😁
I think you could've explained a bit better what this Android-thing is, did not quite get that at 01:34
Great video, great Mac apps! Thanks!
MacVince your editing is absolutely amazing, love your vids man
I couldn't because Apple VPN blocked all websites with Android-related information for some reason 🤯

@@JeffSu that explains a lot...
Thank you!!! I've been watching your videos for a very long time so this genuinely means the most! 😊
@@Rodrinator75 thanks for the kind words!
the ChatGPT app is really buggy, I have to force-quit it as sometimes it doesn't close
Wait really? Which mac are you using?
@@JeffSu imac M3
that's a long time since yougot back to this. Miss your content!
Hahaha thanks for coming back 😁
Grab 2 text is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 thank you
Can't believe it's free!
Do you know of an emoji interpreter? I frequently don't recognize the emoji that I see. It's like reading hieroglyphics. Sort of like Rocket in reverse -- Tekcor?
Interesting...I don't but please let me know if you find one haha
Great stuff! Like your shirt
Thanks!
wow wow wait !! Those apps are too cool to be free! Thank you, saludos desde Colombia
I know right?? 😁
iCloud Tabs instead of HyperDuck?
Now all I need is a Mac
LOL
Just watched this, and I have been meaning to try it. however, it appears that Only Switch and Bartender 5 do not play nice with each other, so Only Switch is banished to the dustbin.
Oh you can just disable the menu bar feature in OnlySwitch! I realized that too!
Brave browser also does the send to Mac
But you're limited to 1 browser right?

Thank you!

Thanks 😁
wow this is great
Glad to hear it 😁
@JeffSu why do you disable line breaks for Grab2Text?
Thanks for the app!
It's not always 100% accurate
In the calendar widget section you used an app to quickly edit the screenshot you took. How is it called?
Thanks!
Cleanshot, it's in the description :)
Nice Jeff! However, why Grab2Text over Shottr?
I talked about Shottr already in another video :). And OCR for Grab2Text is more accurate vs. Shottr
You could also use the ARC BROWSER instead of hyerduck to just put the tab in ur mac
Does that work even when the Mac is off?
Yes it does
@@TheToobNube Nice!
How do you do that?

Thank you 😁
the shortcut for the app isn't working for me after I changed it in settings. what could be the reason? also I dont wanna enable auto start on login
Which app?
dropbox secure? hah...
Wait really? Are they not?
Fun fact: if you use Alfred, its extensions have almost everything you showed in useful applications. Many of them are simply not needed. You know?
That's true!
hello what is the 9:26 app on the screen thanks a lot !
Did you watch till the end 😂
