Great Mac Apps I've Stopped Using & Powerful Alternatives You Need to Know

I'm happy to share with you apps and tools that have transformed my workflow in this year, including both the ones I've replaced and the exciting alternatives I've discovered. I cover text transformations, clipboard managers, app launchers, screen recording tools, and more. There's a a wide range of productivity solutions that have made a significant impact on my system customization journey. I dive into my experience with various tools like TextSoap, Alfred, Paste, Anybox, LaunchPalette, CleanShot X, Screen Studio, and many more. I share honest insights about what worked, what didn't, and why I made certain switches. This year has been particularly exciting as I've grown more confident in exploring advanced solutions and creating custom workflows, especially with the help of AI tools. Whether you're interested in system customization, productivity enhancement, or workflow optimization, this comprehensive review covers everything from basic utilities to advanced tools. I also share my thoughts on presentation tools, mouse control applications, and AI-powered solutions that have become integral to my daily workflow. IMPORTANT: I want to emphasize that BOTH the apps/tools I have moved away from and the new ones I've found are all great. I am just sharing how my personal journey with my system has evolved and different solutions I have found to fit me better. Even those apps I am no longer using, if I've mentioned them in this video I can totally recommend. 🌟 Alfred Workflows Mentioned: * Quill - https://github.com/zeitlings/alfred-quill * Pasteflow - https://github.com/ognistik/alfred-pasteflow 👆️Pasteflow Overview - https://youtu.be/7V67ic6Tc6s * Taptix - https://github.com/ognistik/alfred-taptix 👆️Taptix Overview - https://youtu.be/_Xd86bBDAco 🌟 Apps Mentioned: * Alfred - https://www.alfredapp.com/ * Karabiner - https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ * Goku - https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo * TextSoap - https://textsoap.com/mac/index.html * Paste - https://pasteapp.io/ * PastePal - https://indiegoodies.com/pastepal * Anybox - https://anybox.app/ * Raindrop - https://raindrop.io/ * Contexts - https://contexts.co/ * RCMD - https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd/ * LaunchPalette - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/launchpalette-app-switcher/id6474854386 * Yabai - https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai * Keyboard Maestro - https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/ * Cleanshot X - https://cleanshot.com/ * Screen Studio - https://screen.studio/@2ODorR * Klack - https://tryklack.com/ * Presentify - https://presentifyapp.com/ * Bananotate - https://bananotate.com/ * Superkey - https://superkey.app/ * HomeRow - https://www.homerow.app/ * Mouseless - https://mouseless.click/ 👆️ Use this Mouseless config - https://github.com/croian/mouseless-issues/discussions/1 * Charmstone - https://charmstone.app/ * Kando - https://github.com/kando-menu/kando * Aiko - https://sindresorhus.com/aiko * Whisperscript - https://getwavery.com/ * MacWhisper - https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper * SuperWhisper - https://bit.ly/aft-sw 👆️ How I use SW - https://youtu.be/mUcijTpWYAQ 🌟 My Keyboard: * Nocfree Lite - https://www.nocfree.com/?sca_ref=6788816.LltfJHtUYoV 98% of the links below are not making me any money.
