Top notch sells your information to "3rd party" institutions. Immediately deleted it after skimming the EULA. Some may care, some may not but worth pointing out.

Hey @Arthur, thanks for the informative video! A question: do you know any app that allows us to hide the menu bar items on the left hand side (File, Edit, View...etc) and show those items when we move the mouse over the menu bar? I've been trying to find this for a long time but no luck.
Hi - thanks for this great information. Can you please inform me whether we need to daily shutdown the Mac or what should we do when we are not usually?
So, checking the time in a clock on a screen that is usually used by multiple app windows is easy, whereas quickly glancing at the time in the top right corner of the screen is hard? Oh my! 🤦🏻♂
the magnet app also lets you use hot keys to change the sizes of the windows which is super convenient! Sucks that the app is $8, but in my opinion its super worth it. I use it every single time I'm on my computer.
@@_HigherSelf_ I agree, tried Magnet and Rectangle and Tiles is 100x easier to use. Plus I never could figure out how to get Magnet to leverage more screen space, it always left a space around the edges for the window.
Honestly if you are staring at wallpapers that much and find that wallpapers do matters, it means that you actually don't really use your mac for any sort of productivity. People in production are not bothered about having a big clock or waste time tweaking any snobbish gizmos; they are too busy being in their main production software. Drop Over & Magnet are fine though.
His wall paper tips took me back to 2009. Look at (moving your eyes) the top right corner of your computer is really hard to do 😂😂😂 With all these apps cramped in your Mac 💻 you wil def make your Mac less productice, and drian your battery quick af.
Im an editor and think the folder and preview menus are so bad on mac I always manage it on my windows and check the footage there and then take my portable drive and go to mac because managing files is such a pain on mac
In a mac you need use two hands to go hit fn + F11 to see clock there (unlike Win+D on windows). So I would not say it's easier to go to desktop to see clock
on macos you dont even have to use the keyboard to acess your desktop, juste use hot corners, they can do basicly everything and you only have to use your mouse
I do love MacOS design but on my linux system that I sometimes use windows on I can just install custom designs made by people to make it like Mac. I don't use Mac products for privacy & lack of freedom options. And as well gaming of course I like gaming at 4k max settings with no issues.
Genuinely curious, what are your concerns about privacy/freedom that are handled better by Linux/windows? Cybersec is super intriguing to me so it’s nice to see this sort of reasoning rather than the cost/corporate shill reasoning most people have
agree with Jordan. would like to know your concerns about privacy regarding apple. theyve successfully been upheld in court in refusing to give access to the FBI to user data, and recently have completely overhauled and bolstered their already-premium security chops; so what's your concern?
@@jamesdean8427 Closed-Source, has control over board over repair. Apple has access to your stuff like Windows 10 does with telemetry through account stuff and so forth. Apple is more security rather than privacy. Even then Apple scans people's devices for "child yaknow stuff" as an excuse when they have been caught scanning people's phone. Another is Siri Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In order to use Siri you have to agree to the terms. Those terms result into they listen through your microphone anytime they want. Even then those phones don't have a disable switch to disable camera, microphone and bluetooth unless you desolder them. Like the Librem5 phone does or the Librem Laptop.

You are a legend ❤️
magnet is app in appstore for 10 bucks?
correction, no.2 is iwallpaper
Stop recommending Magnet when Rectangle and Rectangle pro exist.
What are the differences between the pro and the normal version?
@@hirtarchery04 They have a trial, you might wanna have a look yourself.
Magnet
Guess what, we have Tiles too. Completely free and all the features included
@@destroyerYT-d4s Tiles is very old

Add a clock, really? Is it so hard to look at the top of our right corner?
İts for the looks probally
@@NanoElectAAdmin still apple clock looks more beautiful then this app clock
a bunch of solutions to problems i didn't even know i had!. great video.
Where to get the wallpaper shown in Thumbnail?
Free alternative to magnet: rectangle. It works perfectly

Can you post links to each app in the description?
In the app store if you search their names, it will pop right up.

Top right corner is still better than going back to desktop every time

people use transparency like its ios 7.1.2 💀💀
Why would you not wanna see the beautiful notch
Use raycast instead. It replaces Rectangle and a bunch of your apps
rectangle > magnet
PIPPO is Italian name for Disney’s Goofy 🤪
DropOver is insane!
Putting a clock gadget and placing it in the top right corner next to the clock thats on that same corner on menu bar is kind of a weird flex🥴
ikr dumbaf

Macbooster 8 is really helpful for junk and cleaning ram and bugs
Are most of these apps and services free? Or do I have to pay to continue using them just as displayed in this video?
Hi - thanks for this great information. Can you please inform me whether we need to daily shutdown the Mac or what should we do when we are not usually?
Crazy Idea, mention the app links so that the apps are just a click away instead of your viewers searching for each one separately.
So, checking the time in a clock on a screen that is usually used by multiple app windows is easy, whereas quickly glancing at the time in the top right corner of the screen is hard? Oh my! 🤦🏻♂
how do you get the apps on the hidden bar when you press the vertical line ???
Looking at the top right corner of a 13 inch screen is really hard to do. True.
the magnet app also lets you use hot keys to change the sizes of the windows which is super convenient! Sucks that the app is $8, but in my opinion its super worth it. I use it every single time I'm on my computer.
Get rectangle instead
@@lemirq4828 or tiles

How are you doing picture in picture on your desktop? That is cool and I have no idea how and the Pippo didn't show up in the app store.
How often I see my desktop? Never - because IDE or browser alway on whole screen :)
