Feek's macOS useful tools, utilities and applications thread

I've known forever that cmd-h minimises the current window.

Today, I discovered that cmd-option-h minimises everything except the current window.

That little option key has so many hidden and unknown features, it's a real beauty.

Found Sound Source which seems to be a pretty decent EQ app along with loads of other features I probably won't use.

SoundSource - A Superior Sound Control

Access your Mac's audio devices, control per-app audio, and much more, all from the menu bar.

Be really interested to hear how you get on with that. Rogue Amoeba do a lot of audio stuff.

Bartender.

I didn’t know it had been sold. I updated to v5 on my Studio but stick with v4 on my MBA because I thought the automatic hiding and slowing thing based on conditions was totally messed up on v5.

I haven’t followed the release notes to see if it’s been resolved yet.

Before I pay for it is there a better SFTP client than Transmit? Something that included SCP would be awesome.

Have you tried cyberduck?

I don’t know what they can do to improve the trackpad.

 

[Feek]

Putting it in the bin is a good start...

I said the trackpad, not the Magic Mouse.

What do you think is wrong with the trackpad?

 

[Feek]

I completely disagree regarding the trackpad. I haven’t had a mouse connected to any Mac I’ve owned since the first trackpad was released. They’re superb, precision is great, gestures work really well.

And I also love the keyboard.

At least we agree on the mouse

 

[Feek]

I don't really play games on my Macs *shrug*
