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 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!
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.
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.
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
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.")
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
Quinn, I feel like you're my fun uncle and I've been a subscriber since you were reviewing hardshell cases for iPhone 3GS before you went on your mission trip - and I will be a fan forever. But, it's not Imgur, it's pronounced "Imager" 🙃
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).
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.
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)
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.
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!
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.
After paying for Little Snitch for many years I've recently been using Lulu which is free and open source. It's pretty barebones, but that's what I like about it, apart from appreciating the price tag. Little Snitch is a good example of an app that's now so absurdly expensive I really don't think the devs are doing themselves any favours - not when there's $10 and free alternatives, that essentially do the same job.
Same here, i was especially annoyed by LS requiring me to reenter my registration data when moving my boot disk between machines (even to ones with serials previously known to LS). I dropped it in favor of Lulu and haven't looked back.
@@snazzyWhere are you seeing that price?? It’s $70 when I look at it! I have an old license too which discounts it to $57. Absolutely psychotic. Lulu is fine enough
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.
I'm in quarantine, too. I have cordyceps and I start to feel the urge to bite my neighbour. Despite that I kinda like the funny colorful fungi spreading from my ears.
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
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.
Great video as always! Question -- have you tried this Mac app called Swish before? I've been a Mac user for years and somehow just discovered it last week. Its a window management tool and right out of the box it was very intuitive and customizable. Its similar to BetterTouchTool (which I'm surprised you haven't talked about. Or maybe you have..) but I think it does window management better. Hope you feel better!
These videos always introduce me to new apps that end up as staples in my App Library. Thank you. On that note I did have a question/request. Do you k ow of an app that can make downloading an single image off a website a one click or one gesture affair? I can’t seem to find an answer to this anywhere.
Hey Quinn, are there any alternatives out there to the real cool app called iStumbler? I used to love this app visualizing WiFi technologies but they stopped developments for some reason to newer macOS.
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!
Another awesome video; you're the go to man for this stuff! I do have a question...in the paletro review, you translate the page but I'm not sure if there a setting that needs to be set because when i use "translate" in Chrome or Brave, it finds all keywords in my search history on the browser. Is this only possible in Safari?
Would be interested in hearing your view on the huge blunder from Apple in regards to the new M1 MacBook Air not allowing the use of multiple monitors, and if you had any work-arounds. I’ve had to buy some specially made Hub from China!
Why everything in Mac has to be monetized? Even Keka has become payware. And to half fix the crappy ness of iOS you have to pay. Case in point clipboard history!
Excellent video as always! Not sure if it's just me but the audio levels on this video are super low, I'm at 75% volume for a comfortable listening level.
Is it just me or is the audio for this video really quiet? I had to crank my speaker amp to get a good level for hearing, then I went to another video and it was really loud in contrast.
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!
Is there any app or hack that allows you to increase the size of the menu bar text? Using the large size in accessibility>display> menu bar does hardly anything. My new 16" MBP menu bar text is so hard to read. Help!
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.
Hey Quinn, i know you made more than one of these videos about third party apps. You got a recommendation for an app that manages updates for third party apps not in the App Store? I remember seeing one you talked about but can’t find the video.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.

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

Another great disk space analyzer is OmniDiskSweeper, its free, and displays your filesystem largest to smallest.
Quinn finally found a format people wants, and he keeps delivering. Been always here and improved the workflow thanks to your videos!
Ohhh babyy another awesome video! Thanks!

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.
I think it's the 'Search Menu Items' feature built into Raycast.
I came to the comments section to ask exactly this.

A less ugly and more information smart version of Grand Perspective is DaisyDisk.

I don’t trust Lulu however
@@snazzyWhere are you seeing that price?? It’s $70 when I look at it! I have an old license too which discounts it to $57. Absolutely psychotic. Lulu is fine enough
@@gnocchidokie the guy who made lulu was literally a secret agent who “used to” work for the eN eS A. I would not ever trust it.

Alfred and/or Raycast do have snippets for similar text expansion workflows if you’re curious and don’t want another standalone app
the best series of this channel
Thank you. I always like your app videos. It is something you shine up!
Windirstat is great alternative for Grand Perspective in Windows.
These videos are my favorite. Thank you.
Grand perspective is a great app. Personally i run Windows where you can use wiztree for a similar effect.
