Useful and suggestive recommendations. I've used VLC on Windows and Linux for years, and now also on MacOS, largely because it allows easy correction of wrong aspect ratio, poor sound, etc. And thanks for making your videos free of blaring music, shouting, and bad jokes. It's a pleasure to find instructive fare that actually instructs and that respects the intelligence of its audience.

Thank you ! I’ve been using MacOS for ten years and when I watch your videos I really feel haven’t been making the most out of it ☺️

I’ve been using Macs for quite a few years but I know that I am always learning new things. And that includes new applications. You have taught me at least two new applications today. Thanks!

Another no nonsense, concise, clear video. Thanks Gary, I'm a long time Mac power user and it's refreshing to watch your simple, direct and clear videos. Excellent. ...one of these days I might even join patreon!

Great videos, thanks Gary. I switched to the macOS from Windows a couple of years ago and watching your videos has really helped make transition a very smooth one.

Such great advice! Coteditor is one of my favorites as well as copy clip. thank you.

Thanks for the video. Going to download some of these now.

Another excellent job Gary. I appreciate learning the apps you use and why. The text editor looks like one I’ll try.

I finally found you! I used to watch you on my old Tivo DVR, but they dropped the podcast-ish function years ago, so I lost touch with MacMost. Then I saw your face on a suggested video on KZfaq, and said... "I know that guy!" Clicked... Great to see you again! Looking forward to catching up with your wealth of knowledge.

Gary, thanks for this tutorial. A few months ago I purchased M1 Mac Mini. As a clipboard assistant I have been using JumpCut for a number of years. Still works! Questions: - What would you use to replace "X-Assist" (menu like OS 9 to quickly switch between apps using the mouse on the right side of the screen vs using "Command-Tab")? - How about Tab Mix Plus for Firefox (for at least multiple rows of tabs) I miss them both! Thanks, Gary!

Thank you very much, Gary, for all these info

You just made my day! 2 of those I have and 2 I'm Downloading, Thanks!

Great tutorial! Thanks for those great suggestions.

Just awesome content as always!! Thanks a lot

thank you so much, very concise and practical.

Thank you for your videos. I am getting the 24" iMac at the end of the month and the information will be helpful to me, even after being on only Apple computers for almost 40 years.

With Libre Office, if you launch the draw application, you can open a PDF file and edit it. Then you can export as a pdf file. It is very usefull for filling a form, signing it and resend it as a PDF file.

Thank you so much for sharing these! Liked and subscribed!

wow thanks been looking for stuff like this :)

Excellent recommendations, thank you!

Thank you Gary, very helpful indeed 👍

hey bro your videos are very helpful and easy to understanding, great work ✌🏽✌🏽

So helpful! Thank you.

Those look very useful! Used 2 of them already! Libre Office is going to be downloaded today!

Another great video Gary. Well done

This kinda very helpful. Thanks Gary!

Awesome! Thank you, Gary!

Awesome tips Gary, I have vlc and didn't know it could convert, cool. cheers B. oh and clip manager - yes!!

Great selection of free apps. All are very good!

Some very interesting apps there, some I knew about and some completely new to me. Thanks Gary

Us mac users are lost to its compliexities and curiosities without you, thank you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!!

Thanks Gary, these are very helpful.

Maccy is my favorite clipboard manager. Lightweight and totally meets all my needs.

You are the best Gary. Thanks a lot for all your informations

Great video, as always! 👍

Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks ! This was great. New Mac mini user here

Thanks for these. You are a great resource for help. My two favorite simple go-to graphic programs from the past were not free but inexpensive. TypeStyler (clean and powerful typesetting program), and Color It - ( simple paint program good for tracing and cleaning). Did you ever hear of them or use them? They no longer support the newer mac operating systems. I miss them both.

Excellent. Great recommendations.

Very grateful, thanks Gary

Thanks Gary. Good stuff.

Amazing my friend, I'm glad you are helping us! god bless you!

Thanks Gary. Great video.

You're fantastic ! Thanks so much.

Thank you very much!

Great information and video.

Great. Thanks!

Thank you!

How amazing ... Thank you 😊

Great video 😊

Great video and very good information First in again Garry

Hello with a question: I notice in your explanatory videos that down right I can see you talking while explaining. Is there a way to do this with FCPX? Thanks in advance and btw thanks for the great way you explain.😀

Thanks for this GREAT video ... 👏👍😃

I love PasteBot for Clipboard Manager app. Also, been using TextMate as my Text Editor

I have VLC and Seashore; both really useful.

Thank you for the great apps

Oh thanks for always being there I was worried about an alternative for MS Office and this Libre Office I think will do most of my jobs. I can remember I have used it on my Ubuntu laptop once upon a time but couldn't stay with it long.

Thank you

Great video! Will be interesting to see if Apple adds clipboard history to MacOS, now that Windows 10 has it.

Great video

I get very annoyed when app stores feature an app that is "free" but actually is only a trial or only can be used 50 times/days etc. When is an app TOTALLY free, no strings attached?

I love your video’s. Wondering if you could explain the files app on a video in the future?

I'm late to this party ( 2024) but, as always, still a wonderful and informative video. Thank you, Gary.

thanks Gary

Thank you, Gary, as always for another very useful video. I added all of the apps you recommended, including a clipboard manager app from the App Store. I do have a request for another video: In addition to the apps you recommended in this video and earlier this year when you recorded the Best Mac Apps 2021 (Top 25 MUST-HAVE Apps), might you consider recording a video telling us about the preinstalled apps that came with our iMacs that we DON'T need? I have so many apps on my iMac that I don't use, have never used. However, I'm uncomfortable deleting them because I'm afraid I'll need them one day. I'm sure I'm not alone. I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) running on MacOS Big Sur, version 11.5.2. Thank you, Gary. Jay Creighton

simply superb..👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bean is a good free word processor for the Mac. It's sort of more stripped down, and focused than Word.

best channel on youtube! t

OOOOOHH!! Bean is a fabulous word processor.

Useful applications

No one beats Gary-sensei!

Amazing apps👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

As ever. Great video.

Thanks

This is very useful. Thank you. Question what is the advantage of using Libre office against Keynote, Numbers, etc?

VLC has more options for Windows than Mac but since I have been using Mac I have quit using VLC because Mac does a much better job at zooming and fast forward and rewind and step or frame forward and backward. On Mac these functions are a lot smoother. VLC is very sloppy in doing these stuff. I have downloaded all your other suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for such aan amazing video. Can you suggest an alternative to OBS studio.(Because, OBS is still not compatible for M1)

been using open office for a long time. Haven’t downloaded it on my new mac yet.

Sorry, I was downloading from the App Store..then I went as you suggested to the .or site...and now it is working perfectly.THANKS!

Inkscape -- powerful free vector drawing - super great.

Video suggestion: How to use a clipboard manager and what they can do. Thanks for the great vids! 👍

thank you! I just bought a macbook pro and was looking for how to get familiar with it. watched a lot online but found yours most accurate, sincere and worthy. keep it up and enlighten us.

I think sometimes people over look VIM and Nano through the terminal... Vi or VIM takes a while to learn but Nano is quite easy to use for basic text editing.

Another informative video and first in again Garry

Hello, we found your videos very helpful. Curious if tags can be used to between outlook and MacBook Pro to find and organize emails without saving every email to hard drive and folder or tag

I love vlc, been using it for years to play stuff my 2012 MBPro wouldnt play, think im gonna put it in my MBPro 2021.

Dear Garry, thanks again for your aide memoire. Why had I forgotten these tools. Just a silver self serving numpty sadly…

I love caffeine to keep my mac from going to sleep. Used it for years.

V.usefull vid. mobeleash

iina is super awesome.

I use iina because it’s visually 100% more pleasing :)

*** its worth noting that ElectricSheep is pretty cool music visualizer that you can use as your screensaver.

are there advantages to using libre office over open office

New toys to play with Yeah!

شكرا لك thanks to you

Hi Gary, Thanks for the free apps. I hope I can find the apps here in Holland. I wonder if Libre Office can be used on the IPad. Because I have a company and I have my administration in Microsoft excel. But you have to pay for on your phone and IPad. We are planning to turn the administration over to numbers, but it’s not that easy.

Another great video. Very informative! Thank you, Gary! ❤️👍🏻

Hi Gary- with Libre office can I open my saved Microsoft Excel files on my MacBook Pro to libra office? Also on the webpage it says they have a newer version and a slightly older version

Great

Is there a calendar app for Windows10 similar to the standard Mac OS calendar?
