I keep hearing people asking what the difference is between the just-updated Photomator and Pixelmator Pro. The company has a comparison page that might help, but people keep asking, so let me try to explain it two different ways. If You Know Adobe Creative Cloud Photomator is an alternative to
We've come to the end of another year, and due to decisions I've made over the years, I have a ton of subscriptions come up for renewal right around Christmas (this very domain renews today!), so here's what I'm doubling down on in 2023, as well as a few that
Apple’s Mail app is getting some much-needed features this year in iOS 16, and I’ve been using it all summer as my mail app on my iPhone and iPad, but sadly I just removed it from those devices and have gone back to Spark. For all the talk
I've been using Arc for about 3 months, and I thought it was high time I talk about why I love it so much.
I've been a big fan of CleanShot X for a few years now, and it's genuinely become one of the most essential tools on my Mac. That's why I was so happy when the team who makes CleanShot asked if I would work with them on creating their new feature
After a decade or so of using Alfred as my app launcher on macOS, I recently switched to Raycast. It's a fantastic app launcher in its own right, and I'm really impressed with its extension system that developers seem to be able to easily tap into and create nice experiences.
This is what Safari's download window has looked like for years on macOS. It's pretty well laid out, but I always have trouble reading it at a glance. Here's what the window looks like when you turn off transparencies at the system level: So much better! While I'd love to
Here's a relatively innocuous video of Obsidian: 0:00/1× What makes this so amazing is that from within Obsidian for my iPhone, I was able to check for updates to my third party plugins and install those plugins right from the phone. And not only did they install here,
Every year Apple adds new features to their platforms, and inevitably those are features that were already being done by third party developers. Like clockwork, articles come out talking about what apps got "Sherlocked" this time, often with calls to "pour one out" for these apps who's businesses just got
The world is tough if you are someone who is prone to switch apps. It seems like there's something new every week that someone wants you to get excited about, and even I, someone who runs a YouTube channel dedicated to explaining new things, find it impossible to keep up
I was very high on Glass, a new photo sharing app this summer, but my enthusiasm for it has dropped in perfect sync with the temperature dropping here in the Midwest since then. Not only that, it’s made me appreciate Instagram more. You may be like “it’s the
I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but I do love to take pictures. Years ago I used to post my best photos to Instagram because that was the cool place to be and you could easily find great photographers there. It was always an app I could open
This is the most niche thing I've ever shared, but if you write about or talk about iPhone and iPad apps a lot, then App Bottlerocket might be just what you've always wanted. I built this simple website a couple years ago and have been using it to get info
Well this all sucks, doesn’t it? Ugh. Anyway, my buddy Andy Nicolaides tweeted this today: I’ve never known an email service to have people so undecided about using it (moral issue aside). That, to me, seems like such a red flag. Nothing that is right for people should
