Made the switch from Warp to Ghostty after the 1.3.0 update today...

Got my config dialed in, we're rockin' and rollin'!

Do you have a StreamDeck?

If so, do you choose to manage your buttons through the official (horrible/clunky) software, or do you use BetterTouchTool?

If you use BTT, any drawbacks outside of the obvious that I should know about?

When things hit the fanโ€ฆThey usually hit it so hard the fan flys off the ceiling.

After this past week, and now todayโ€ฆ.I feel like someone jinxed me lol

Pulled the trigger and picked up a license for Folder Preview Pro.

What a gamechanger, I cannot believe this is something not already built into macOS.

I wish we could configure keyboard shortcuts for menu items on iPadOS, as we can do in macOSโ€ฆ

This would be ideal โ€” and match my left/right sidebar hide/show for most apps to be consistent as they are on my Mac.

What a week..

Thankfully it's Friday.

Planning on acting as if this week didn't exist, just for 2 days; then back to reality on Monday to plan ahead.

Well, this week wasnโ€™t in my bingo cards.

One of lifeโ€™s many monkey wrenches.

I really need to get better at dodging those
like the matrix.

Apparently Apple hasnโ€™t figured out how to merge, and now I have to fix the nested โ€œDesktop > Deanโ€™s MacBook Pro Desktopโ€ and โ€œDocuments > Deanโ€™s MacBook Pro Documentsโ€ mess.

FUN!

Before enabling iCloud Drive Sync for Documents & Desktop on macOSโ€ฆmake sure you donโ€™t have empty Desktop & Documents folders in iCloud already before you do.

I like the idea of the Macbook Pro Neo, I think it definitely has a place in Apples lineup. Definitely not for me, but even off the top of my head can think of several different scenarios where I would recommend this over another product of theirs.

Is anyone using Claude Cowork?

What type of workflows have you setup that benefit you?

Anyone else having issues accessing usage and notification settings on the Claude app (iOS/iPadOS)?

While I love Lightroom, I think the mix of Pixelmator Pro, and Photomator; is good enough for me to axe the Adobe subscription.

Has anyone else made the switch for good?

I was able to get it to work when recreating the rules. Itโ€™s weird that was once working, stopped all of the sudden.

All is back to normal now!

If you have never heard of it, check it out. It's a lifesaver for me pulling my photos/videos out of google and getting the dates corrected.

Absolutely goated application that is slept on for macOS if you do any type of photo/video work, or to deal with your backups like me is A Better Finder Attributes.

Drafts Directory: Send to Pushover Example actions and other extensions for Drafts, the quick-capture notes app.

I just published a new action for Drafts that will send your active draft to Pushover.

This utilizes the built-in credentials manager in Drafts, to ensure userKeys and appTokens are not exposed in plain text on the script itself.

Enjoy!

I really do wish they would have:

- Incorporated Photomator to this bundle
(or)
- Allowed Pixelmator Pro to be used on iOS as well

Now that some time has passed.

How is everyone feeling about Apple Creator Studio? Keeping it past the trial? Personally I think I am going to hold on to it.

Iโ€™m surprised that nobody has built a cross-posting extension for multiple social networks for Raycast yet. I know direct cross-posting services, like Typefully (amazing service) extensions exist; but one without a service backing.

iPhone Mirroring is such a goated feature...

This is on my queue to watch, have you watched it yet, if so, any good?

I usually love Statham flicks.

My dog does this all the time, until she decides to move behind me and completely take over my chair.
