I prefer using built-in features rather than downloading an app for every task: 1. Alfred = Spotlight 2. Moom = Press and hold option+move your cursor over the green button on the top left corner of the window -> move window to left or right 3. Amphetamine = Terminal -> type command "caffeinate". Or "caffeinate -t 600", to keep your Mac awake for 10 minutes 4. Cleanshot X = Cmd+shift+4

spotlight does everything you showed Alfred does and more. it even gives answers to currency conversions on spotlight itself so you doing have to load google
I love how a good new tab extension can transform your browsing experience. I found one that syncs tasks across devices and it has been a game changer for staying organized.
This is great that you showed all these applications and I hope that most of people will find it useful. But to me these are so non-essential things. I feel like I would have to force myself to use those if I had to.
Agreed. Raycast is so much more than an Alfred replacement. For example, you could easily substitute Amphetamine as well with Raycast's "caffeinate" function.
Spotlight does exactly everything that alfred does. Especially your currency conversion example I tried it in spotlight and had the answer before I finished typing it
You mention having things app on all devices but didn’t mention you have to buy each separately per devices. I paid 9.99 for my iPhone then went to download iPad version but it’s asking I pay 19.99 for iPad. Hope I can get my money back
Thanks for this informative video. It's been 10 years since I've used an Apple device. But tomorrow I'll be back with the MacBook Air M2 and I'm looking forward to rediscovering the Mac!
Prefer the native apps/features better even if it means missing somethings out, like to keep it light, so I am not installing a bunch of stuff for everything. D
Hi, Can you help me to find out best mac app which fulfill following my minimum requirement. Requirement: Every 10min i need to get notification(sound) untill i shut down my mac and after turn it on app shoud automatically load and again every 10 min it too give sound notification.
Thanks for your videos Ali. Just wanted to tell you that your laptop skin is the prettiest skin ive ever seen. Want to use it as my wallpaper, please upload a jpg version of it
Spotlight is a lot slower for a lot of these actions. For example I just booted up Spotlight, went to type 'Downloads', and even when I typed the whole thing, the top result was an App on the App Store I have no interest in. My downloads file was 3 down. With Alfred, I pressed space, the letter 'd' and return, and I had my downloads open. Just 3 key presses. Give it a try - it's free. If you prefer Spotlight, that's fine, but in my experience Alfred is way way faster and learns your behaviour better.
But I wish you use Chromium (like he said) instead of WebKit. Really love the way you approached to "vimium" my behaviour. But I switched to Arc just because they use chromium.
Hey! if you use app nr.3 Amphetamine, you are able to keep the display of your second monitor on and fully close your Mac book without it having to be on charge
Ali, thanks for what you do on this channel. I downloaded Alfred and tried to use it as you showed for opening the downloads folder, it it just takes me to Google. Did you have to change some settings to get Alfred to open that directory? Tks
How on EARTHHHHH did this not get pushed to me on UA-cam?! I had to go and find this manually meanwhile I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video since 2022. Thank you, Ali. Pumped.
Very glad I found your channel, informative and very knowledgeable individual that kept it fun and interesting the whole time thru. I will be checking into many of the applications that you mentioned!
Hello, Ali! These videos are my favorite- I wish you did them more often. One thing I noticed from the previous months, why did you switch from Todoist to Things 3?
I prefer using built-in features rather than downloading an app for every task:
1. Alfred = Spotlight
2. Moom = Press and hold option+move your cursor over the green button on the top left corner of the window -> move window to left or right
3. Amphetamine = Terminal -> type command "caffeinate". Or "caffeinate -t 600", to keep your Mac awake for 10 minutes
4. Cleanshot X = Cmd+shift+4
same
Cmd+shift+4 didn't work for me
@@Ayoubfad its 3
Cmd-Shift-5 for me
but i's not even close if we talk about functions :)

Have you tried raycast before? Find it the best of those apps
Yeah spotlight underrated
you woke up and decided to speak facts
I used raycast these days
But you cant add URL shortcuts in spotlight to specificatie website pages :)

Bro doing the lord’s work
Always appreciate people who do this for these kind of videos. Provides clarity.
Thanks!!🙏
Thanks!
Finally the study playlist is live!! Thank you so much Ali!!! I’ve been waiting for this glorious day 🥲
If you get MacBook then have mercy and give me the old one if possible thanks
Broooo, the thumbnail looks soooo gooood, just love the perfect amount of exposure and colours in it!😍
I switched from Alfred to raycast last year, think you’d also like it, it has native functionality for what your using moom for also
I will try that out.
Yes, also using raycast. Wouldn't go back to Alfred.
raycast is incredible
Yep, it was kinda weird to see him using Alfred when Raycast has all this and soooo much more functionality.
I can't find raycast in my apple store, any ideas?
This is great that you showed all these applications and I hope that most of people will find it useful. But to me these are so non-essential things. I feel like I would have to force myself to use those if I had to.
Loads of great suggestions. Some seem to repeat or overlap though. Delivered well altogether. I've adopted some of these.
Not sure if I missed it but I wasn't able to find the free course you did on Final Cut Pro editing?
Another video concept rehashed with the same apps for the millionth time. Fantastic. Full time UA-cam paying off big time!
You gotta switch to Raycast from Alfred - it's life changing (I'm an Alfred Powerpack user)
Agreed. Raycast is so much more than an Alfred replacement. For example, you could easily substitute Amphetamine as well with Raycast's "caffeinate" function.
terminal "caffeinate", or if you prefer an app easy switch, include tons of options
Spotlight does exactly everything that alfred does. Especially your currency conversion example I tried it in spotlight and had the answer before I finished typing it
Yeah, everything he used as an example, spotlight already does.
why don’t you do cmd + shift + 4 to screenshot? so much easier & quicker
You’re so intelligent I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot getting thru your vids.
Today, it’s nice to see Classic Ali with the Grey Top. Takes me back to the first video of yours that I saw.
You mention having things app on all devices but didn’t mention you have to buy each separately per devices. I paid 9.99 for my iPhone then went to download iPad version but it’s asking I pay 19.99 for iPad. Hope I can get my money back

How do I get the texts app? In the appstore or on their website? Either way could not find it :D
my alfred doesnt show downloads and stuff like that after hitting space idk why
Bro, please make a video on --how to use any app in full screen , overlapping the notch bar (basically in macbook air m2 and upgraded line up models)
Quick question how can change the shortcut for Alfred for CMD+Space when i wanna change it, it opens apples default spotlight
How can I use Microsoft office apps in macbook without subscription I'm 😢 student I don't have even Money.or any best alternatives for macbook word
Don’t apologize for the length of this video! One of your best! Really helpful… Thanks much! 😎👍
Prefer the native apps/features better even if it means missing somethings out, like to keep it light, so I am not installing a bunch of stuff for everything. D
Sorry are u using Todoist or things or according to the sponsorship.
Could you please share the link where you bought that cover of the MacBook, thanks before hand.
Spotlight can do google search. Or whatever your default search engine is.
I'm wondering why you use Alfred when Raycast is out being more fast and poverful
Hi,
Can you help me to find out best mac app which fulfill following my minimum requirement.
Requirement:
Every 10min i need to get notification(sound) untill i shut down my mac and after turn it on app shoud automatically load and again every 10 min it too give sound notification.
did the change the name of the CleanShot? I dont see it on my Macbook Air M2.
Thanks for your videos Ali. Just wanted to tell you that your laptop skin is the prettiest skin ive ever seen. Want to use it as my wallpaper, please upload a jpg version of it
It's a default mac wallpaper
What's the diff b/w Alfred and Spotlight cuz I can open Chrome, files and also currency exchange using Spotlight as well
Spotlight is a lot slower for a lot of these actions. For example I just booted up Spotlight, went to type 'Downloads', and even when I typed the whole thing, the top result was an App on the App Store I have no interest in. My downloads file was 3 down. With Alfred, I pressed space, the letter 'd' and return, and I had my downloads open. Just 3 key presses. Give it a try - it's free. If you prefer Spotlight, that's fine, but in my experience Alfred is way way faster and learns your behaviour better.
more features
🧡In good company! Proud to be your browser, Ali 🧡
But I wish you use Chromium (like he said) instead of WebKit. Really love the way you approached to "vimium" my behaviour. But I switched to Arc just because they use chromium.
Hey! if you use app nr.3 Amphetamine, you are able to keep the display of your second monitor on and fully close your Mac book without it having to be on charge
16:12 -- oooh what’s that cool clock in Notion? How do you add that?
Ali, Any suggestions for Windows 11 User? 🏜️
Switch to Windows 10 or MacOS
Super useful video thank you
Over 90% match with my favourites 👍but using Cron instead of Fantastical, Craft instead of both Obsidian&Notion
I agree. There’s just something about Craft that I really love.
Excellent Ali.
So what's the difference between Notion and Obsidian?
I honestly believe some of these apps are overlapping one another and making you less productive (if you actually use them all).
Great content though.
Rectangle is better than moon its has got many features to resize window
Hi, can you tell me where you got this mcbook skin, I can't find it :?
This is the video I´ve been waiting
Use Rectangle instead of Moom... much intuitive and customisable
Ali, thanks for what you do on this channel. I downloaded Alfred and tried to use it as you showed for opening the downloads folder, it it just takes me to Google. Did you have to change some settings to get Alfred to open that directory? Tks
Hi man, you have to input 'Downloads
Ohhhh that Alfred App is the best!! Thanks for the tip!!
How on EARTHHHHH did this not get pushed to me on UA-cam?! I had to go and find this manually meanwhile I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video since 2022. Thank you, Ali. Pumped.
Have your tried Arc browser? Such a pretty design, similar workspace concept as sigma
What MacBook cover is that on the thumbnail
Hi can someone help? I can't seem to find the cleanshot app referenced in the video.
8:09 your hoodie brand plz, looks so cool!
Cool video, brother! Keep it up!
Masha Allah Ali bhai ... you've been so helpful to me alhamdulillah for my studies
May Allah bless you more ✨️
Spotlight built in literally does everything Alfred does. Your just making the keyboard shortcut to activate it longer.
For your study spotify list, can I recommend two tracks from the Destiny2 soundtracks: 'Journey' and 'Deep Stone Lullaby'
Hi Ali I really love your content can you please do a video on how you use Day One please :)
Ok so I’m lost. Some videos he mentions Todoist and some videos he mention things3. Which one does he really use???
What’s the video editing tool you use man? I really enjoy your content 🎉
15:50 Why don't you use Adobe Illustrator instead of Figma to "design stuff" ?
2:59 Aunkur Waikroo is a student of his UA-cam academy
You were researching about warikoo ? loved the moment of seeing two of my favourite UA-camrs
where did you get your MacBook cover
Why not use Arc over Sigma?
You don't need Alfred to do any of the things shown in this video. You can do all of them natively with Spotlight.
Very glad I found your channel, informative and very knowledgeable individual that kept it fun and interesting the whole time thru. I will be checking into many of the applications that you mentioned!
Question… how do you find different scientific journals / studies? Do you have any websites you would recommend?
Google scholar in general, then pubmed for medical articles
Usually your institution or school gives you access to databases. You can also try asking your local library.
@@eska6722 local library! Great idea. Thanks :)
Hello, Ali! These videos are my favorite- I wish you did them more often. One thing I noticed from the previous months, why did you switch from Todoist to Things 3?
This video just changed my life lol. Thank you
just add downloads folder or any folder to dock, its faster. 1 click. you can also do currency conversion in the calculator btw.
Why did you move to Obsidian instead of Notion?
Ali - liking the desktop background. Could you guide us on where to find it? Thank you, sir!
I thought you said Apple Notes for personal note taking instead of Obsidian?
1:07 Wow thats so coool... Its 100% exactly like you would do it with spotlight man... wtf. This pitch had throwback bad infomercial vibes.
Why did you change from Notion to Obsidian to manage your second-brain? Thx!
I have a video on the channel explaining this: ua-cam.com/video/K-ssUVyfn5g/v-deo.html
Just bought my first ever Macbook! Anyone recommend any more additional apps?
From where you got the Macbook skin?
Ali, I cannot find cleanshot in the App Store?
This Guy's life is 101% Productive
cleanshot no longer available, any alternative suggestions?
why do i feel more anxious after watching this video than prior
do you use any of the apps that came with the OS? LOL j/k good review!
How much do you spend on apps?! Even with productivity increases, don't these start to add up?
Why don't you use spotlight search?
New video from the best!!!
great list! did you replace Todoist with Things 3?
What is the sticker on ur mac on ur thumbnail bro
Could you make an updated iPad Apps Video it would be great
pls make an ipad app video
Thanks bro; you are so lovely and enjoyed it
Thank you Ali. All the best
Looooove you!!! Thank you this is super helpful!
Can you recommend MacBook for video editing in 2023?
Wow, this video was so helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on this topic
Amazing video! Super help thanks for the awesome work
Wish I had Zotero in my Academic Career so that I didn’t have to have to undergo panic to get my references and citations in order.
Which app do you use to choose your apps? ;0)
Great video and content. Love your channel. Namaste x
