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've been using macOS for more than 10 years now and I don't know how I was able to go along without such an easy way of resizing app windows. Definitely subcribed!

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

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.)

Great video as always! You missed a really big feature of Cleanshot, IMO (one of the only reasons I've been looking at buying it) - scrolling screenshots. Being able to capture more than what is currently on the screen in a still image without having to try to combine multiple images together is such a game-changer.

Windows might have the best gaming platform and Office suite but Mac is certainly pretty good for everything alse. It's awesome how there's so much good freeware now to tweak and optimise the OS.

Long time user of Rectangle and I can confirm that you can move windows between screens. I originally used a different tool for this and once it became no longer maintained by the devs I moved to Rectangle which allowed me to use all of the keyboard shortcuts from the old app so there was zero learning curve. Great app.
