It's kind of fun to see a 18 minutes video took 1 hour and 20 minutes just to shoot !!! Nice apps man btw, you are so good at these videos and really like them these are top level and I always recommend them to people.
I rewatched this to remember some of the utilities Quinn mentioned and noticed the clock. It is so interesting to see how little time had passed for him to record this. Everything also appears to be in chronological order. Shot in order. Impressive haha
I work for a company and they pay me a salary. I use the money to support a family, maintain my house, etc. I wouldn't work for free. I've never understood why people expect free software. If I find a product that provides value, I expect to pay for it. I'll use free software and happy when it's available. But I don't begrudge paying.
FYI - MacOS text replacement works in Word - I use it on a regular basis - but only when I switch to an alternative language keyboard (in my case, Japanese). That seems to enable the context dropdown which you need to see and confirm the replacement. I know . . . not a great work-around for most people, but it makes sense in my workflow.
When I was a Genius for Apple I used to direct customers to download Grand Perspective during our appointments and show them how to manage their data. They LOVED it!
6:40 isn't there an Alfred workflow for something like this though? 8:58 --- Nevermind he mentioned it -- But since I know you're an Alfred user Quinn I don't know why you'd use a dedicated app for something that can be had from within Alfred.
The text replacement thing works in anything that uses Apple's text box API's, things like Office use their own rather than the one built in to the OS, so if the developer uses the recommended API's and other elements they get these kind of things for free so to speak. Kind of how apps using the MacOS recommended chrome IU API's were automatically upscaled to Retina 2x when they updated it, without having to change the app itself. The same happened with text when using the above default recommended text API's.
I don't think Chrome or Firefox use the text APIs either, and not sure about electron apps, so most Mac users spend a ton of time in apps that don't support those APIs
@@chedda7182 Yep. Anything you notice where this doesn't work will be using a non-native text box. Adobe are notorious for doing this too, even their iOS apps use their own so you can't do the @@ space thing to enter your email for example which is annoying when logging in to them all, and there are many, and they love to log you out!
FYI - MacOS text replacement works in Word - I use it on a regular basis - but only when I switch to an alternative language keyboard (in my case, Japanese). That seems to enable the context dropdown which you need to see and confirm the replacement. For me, this works fine because most of the time I use it to insert Japanese people's names in kanji (Japanese people can have the same name but use different kanji to write it, so each person's written name can be unique and can't usually be guessed by hearing it).
I personally find DaisyDisk to be much more intuitive than Grand Perspective even though it costs a little bit more. Might be easier for casual users as well!
Always love these, I switched to Mac last summer and you've been a true help with these videos. There's always one or more apps that I will continue using. (Sidenote the audio was really quiet this video)
Been looking for an app like GrandPerspective ever since Disk Inventory X got disappeared (I think in the great 32-bit app genocide), awesome to finally have one again! Also more generally, I love these kinds of videos. Brings me back to a time in RUclips that I miss. I'm talking case reviews, app reviews/suggestions/lists, random phone accessories (who remembers the Just|Mobile AluPen Pro? I've still got mine)
About that command palette. You don’t need a third-party app for that. The keyboard shortcut for the help menu will find all menu items and that includes all of your Safari history. The only thing it can’t access is the Apple menu.
Hey Quinn, just want to say that your app top-tips are brilliant. Thanks to you, I have installed a few apps that have been so helpful that I couldn't live without them. Cheers, mate!
Love this video! reminds me of my tech buddy that introduced me to Mac in the first place and showed me app these cool things it could do, which blew my mind at the time
Having Covid is no excuse for not talking about Keyboard Maestro! Dude, it’s the ONE tool I would choose if I could only choose one. Full automation of anything, using any kind of trigger, you can imagine, with tons of features, like variables, support for Apple script, and more. One of these days you will tell the tiny people about it.
Really helpful-thanks a ton for taking the time to do it-especially with being under the weather! (Fun fact, in case you ever wondered: Imgur is pronounced "image-er.")
An app I use all the time instead of Grand Perspective is Daisy Disk! It’s a crucial app I couldn’t live without and it has a great design as well as the ability to collect things for deletion.
I love the apps shared and you are right, we spend a lot of money on Macs and we need to use the software to leverage the investments. Thank you so much for sharing!
I enjoy your videos, & especially the Mac app reviews. There is always at least one I've never heard of before, and I consider myself knowledgeable of the Mac landscape. I will be adding several of your picks from this video to my application library! Thanks, Quinn, I hope you feel better soon.
just to not confuse the others, 6:09 these are the link local IPv6 addresses (to communicate inside a private network) and not the MAC addresses. GREAT VIDEO
Greetings Quinn! Just a note of reference, the processes that end in `d` (a long-running UNIX standard) are a reference to 'daemon', not 'demon' - two very different concepts 😅 spirituality aside, a demon is a bad thing, a daemon is a good thing and was attributed by the greek as being a positive human spirit since passed; perhaps a representation of someone no longer around. I think that's why the original UNIX folks chose it - a daemon manages and controls things in the absence of our intentional, manual control 😜 Anyway.. no demons on my machines! Thanks for another great video!
Wow so many nice apps I didn’t know. I love the PDF squeezer, I need that 100%. Make one of these videos about iPhone apps. I’m sure there are many fantastic apps I don’t know about
Such useful tools, thank you. 🙏🏻 I also like Rectangle, it it immiates Windows OS in terms of moving and snapping windows across the screen corners. Also Lunar, which can control external monitor brightness/contrast if it supports DDC protocol.
I’m sorry about the COVID. I hope you are and yours are feeling better. It’s always good to me on here. As for ,e…I don’t seem to know how to USE all the power of my iPad and Mac Mini. I really need to get some of these apps you’ve demonstrated. Mahalo!
I just switched back to Mac after being away for five years and I’m loving it. But there’s a couple things I miss from windows fill in the gaps bar help me to love the Mac even more. The main thing I need is the equivalent of the new windows 11 window snap feature.
Very helpful video! Rocket Typist looks promising - I love its clean interface. I didn't buy it, but I did discover that the developer has another very useful app called "Remote Wake Up" which makes it easy to wake up machines on a LAN. Super useful if you have machines in different rooms of your house that you have to periodically fix / manage.
please elaborate about those raycast/alfred workflows that can replace paletro! i would love to not split myself between different apps if i can have feature parity within raycast, but some cursory googling has come up dry.
Really need this video! Just got a 2011 MBP and upgraded it with an SSD and a Catalina patcher, but it’s very vanilla and my Chromebook feels easier to use.

COVID brain was something else haha. Also, I tend to set up my little examples in the middle of filming and that takes 5 or so minutes per app. Haha.
@@snazzy 😂 Covid-brain? You still do not get it, do you? More like no-brain.
I rewatched this to remember some of the utilities Quinn mentioned and noticed the clock. It is so interesting to see how little time had passed for him to record this. Everything also appears to be in chronological order. Shot in order. Impressive haha
I'm guessing the background is CG. The clock just auto generates relative to his machine.

If it’s not released in a physical form I won’t pay for it.
As long as it's not a subscription I'm happy to pay as well!
@@theshadowman1398 people put their effort into creating things regardless if its physical or not, stop being so stubborn.
@@spabble
Oh I will be that stubborn. I only purchase things I can get in a physical form.
A lot of open source developers make programs that they want for personal use and gladly release it to the world for free out of charity.

Apps like Grand perspective on Mac, WinDirStat on windows, and DiskUsage on Android are such life savers! Nothing comes close to that functionality
its always so fresh seeing new apps that Quinn recommends! thank u so much for making my mac more useful!
I personally find DaisyDisk to be much more intuitive than Grand Perspective even though it costs a little bit more. Might be easier for casual users as well!
Agree, have been using DaisyDisk for ages, has been perfect for me
I use OmniDiskSweeper
Came here to say this. DaisyDisk is the MVP in this app category
Yes, another alternative to DaisyDisk or Grand Perspective is DiskInventoryX
Alfred and/or Raycast do have snippets for similar text expansion workflows if you’re curious and don’t want another standalone app
I am getting these apps, very useful, thanks for the video
1:28 - Reeder
2:40 - Grand Perspective
9:07 - Menuwhere
Reeder is absolutely game changing for iOS. Thank you for for the video! I might need to buy the Mac version as well
Always love these, I switched to Mac last summer and you've been a true help with these videos. There's always one or more apps that I will continue using.

Spending 90% of my waking hours designing on iMac your application tips have increased my speed MASSIVELY. So so good for Adobe app usage! Thank you
Quiiiiiiin! Get well soon, buddy! There's a life after COVID, and we would be totally lost without your insightful and witty style.
with the batteries app, if you have a macbook with a touchbar, holding control from within any applicaiton will show the battery icons on the touchbar
Radio Silence has one of the most charming icons I've seen in a while
I always recommend your videos to my friends, Quinn! Have a great weekend! 😊 Thanks for your videos and your work
It's fun watching the clock in the background change because then you can see how many takes it took
About that command palette. You don’t need a third-party app for that. The keyboard shortcut for the help menu will find all menu items and that includes all of your Safari history. The only thing it can’t access is the Apple menu.
I don't think all safari history is searchable through the help menu, just the ones that are already in the History menu
I hope you get well soon and get out of quarantine soon, get well!
Thanks! As a relatively new M1 Mac user, your videos like this have really helped me get comfortable with MacOS
Hope you feel better soon!
Always appreciate your humor and info
Hey Quinn, just want to say that your app top-tips are brilliant. Thanks to you, I have installed a few apps that have been so helpful that I couldn't live without them. Cheers, mate!
idk how you find so many cool apps/utilities, great vid as always

Ohhh, so grand perspective is like the windirstat of macos
I have been looking for something like this for literally years, glad I finally found it
An app I use all the time instead of Grand Perspective is Daisy Disk! It’s a crucial app I couldn’t live without and it has a great design as well as the ability to collect things for deletion.
Quinn, I love your videos! Pleasure to watch and a lot to learn. Best wishes from the Netherlands and hopefully you're feeling well on short term.
I always learn something new from your videos! And always entertained! Feel better my friend!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love the apps shared and you are right, we spend a lot of money on Macs and we need to use the software to leverage the investments. Thank you so much for sharing!
Excellent video as always Quinn! I hope you feel better soon!
Ohhh babyy another awesome video! Thanks!
I love these Mac App videos that you make. You turned me to IINA and Alfred which is Amazing! :D
Perfect. Just got a m1 MacBook Air for 799 new at Best Buy a week ago
Good selection, Quinn! More like this please. There's so much out there!

Thank you. I always like your app videos. It is something you shine up!
Thanks for this list, Quinn! These are always super helpful. BTW the audio was pretty low. Listening to the next video hurt 😂
Always find these videos pretty useful. I miss you on Twitter Quinn!
just to not confuse the others, 6:09 these are the link local IPv6 addresses (to communicate inside a private network) and not the MAC addresses. GREAT VIDEO
get well soon Quinn! i hope Meg and the cat are fine.
Just when I think there's no possible way I need another Mac utility...love these videos!
FINALLY A NEW SNAZZY LABS VIDEO
edit: hope you feel better! had the rona twice now ik how ya feel
Another great video. Batteries now installed - very useful. I hope Covid doesn't kick your ass too badly! Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing these tips, also hope you feel better.
These are my absolute favorite type of videos!
Please make more of these videos! Just amazing.
I use typinator instead of text expander. Really great app and one time purchase.
Thanks for listing Yoink! Seriously one of the first I install on any new device. Can't live without it
You bet!

I don't know why my RUclips is not showing your videos on my feed anymore! I miss your funny videos!
Quinn finally found a format people wants, and he keeps delivering. Been always here and improved the workflow thanks to your videos!
I see that SpaceLauncher menu bar icon, great app
Windirstat is great alternative for Grand Perspective in Windows.
Wow so many nice apps I didn’t know. I love the PDF squeezer, I need that 100%. Make one of these videos about iPhone apps. I’m sure there are many fantastic apps I don’t know about

Love these videos. I almost always end up downloading at least one of the apps recommended.

I think it's the 'Search Menu Items' feature built into Raycast.
I came to the comments section to ask exactly this.
Really enjoy these videos, going to buy some of these!
as if ive just watched all your mac videos and watched 3 today over and over and now its another one get in 😃

Very useful! I never heard some of those! Will definitely give them a try.
Sorry you are sick. Love the content.

Magic number 2 is the best Mac calculator. Pdf scanner is also one of the best cheap pdf tools.

As always writing a comment to support the channel
I watch your videos regularly, don't know why RUclips recommending this video after 3 days sigh😮
yeah, I have already started using Dropzone.
i just started watching and i already know i’ll be paying for a new app today
menu bar item at the cursor is also available with free apps such as 1pieceapp and menuffy
so sick of COVID, feel better bro!
Hope you're feeling better!
I hope you'll get well very soon!
