In the Mac Terminal you can use the command “caffeinate” and it will keep your Mac awake. You can break out of it when finished rendering or what have you and not have to change a bunch of setting and keep from need an additional app to handle this function. Hope this helps.

I really don't see the value in TextSniper when CleanshotX itself has the exact same feature: just click the icon in the menu bar and select OCR, it will show a similar rectangular selection tool for anything on the screen, select and it will be automatically copied as text.

Love the list, except I've been a die hard Alfred user for years now. Raycast is fine don't get me wrong, but I've been accustomed to Alfred's key bindings and various workflows for so long that switching is just not worth the effort yet. I would also highly recommend the app Dropover. Being able to have a "shelf" where I can place pretty much anything has become an integral part of my workflows and I think you would probably get some use out of it as well!

Better Touch Tool includes better snap tool and has a ton more functionality. I use it to map ctrl+screen brightness keys to control the keyboard backlight brightness without having to go into control center along with a ton of app specific trackpad gestures to control the apps. For example, four finger tap to middle click in all the web browsers, four finger click on a finder window resizes and moves the window to the size and location I want on the screen. You can even have gestures do different things when you are using a magic trackpad or the built in trackpad. I also mapped one of my unused keys to be a dedicated (forward) delete key. It also has an iphone app to control your mac with your iphone. It even has Shortcuts integration and actions in Shortcuts to make it more useful. Its the first thing I install on a mac when setting it up and import my all my settings.

I love BTT too. One of the most used apps on my mac. I use it mostly to add trackpad/mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts to target a specific app even when it's not open or in the background (for instance opening a new tab in Chrome from everywhere)

I’m not sure if it’s intentional on your part to show it, but you can hide that Scarlett icon on your desktop. If you double click on it, you can run an installer that, after, will turn off the storage within the Scarlett. The storage is only there as a way to give you the user manual and give you the Focusrite controller software. Not only will the icon be hidden, but you won’t need to eject your Scarlett anymore when you want to unplug it from your computer. Other than that, great video! Lots of useful apps here - and the production quality is excellent too.

Love your videos. I noticed that you're using Safari. Is that your primary/daily browser? It's the one thing that i constantly (and I mean constantly) struggle with daily on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. I like a lot of different browsers for a lot of different reasons, but in the end I prefer Safari for its deep integration (but not much more). Do you ever find yourself getting friction with macOS Safari or is it working for what you need it for?

Might be helpful to remember “amphetamine” is just Adderall , which is NOT the same as methamphetamine (they’re more chemically different from each other than water and hydrogen peroxide, which is a BIG difference). Adderall is more commonly known for its use to help manage ADHD, but it was originally created to treat narcolepsy, hence the name for the app.

@@ChrisLawley Well, there are amphetamines that are found in illegal drugs.... but "amphetamine" is just a class of stimulants. It's one of those words that we think is a negative name for something, but it's actually the correct terminology for it. Drug companies and doctors use it in things like ADHD and mood stabilizers to help people. :)
