I really like the way you zoom in so we can see details no matter what device we are using. Highlighting for emphases also works well and makes you stand out from other app reviewers. I know it is a bit of work, but that's so helpful for viewers. I also like the fact that you have timestamps and an ordered list of the apps reviewed. My only suggestion might be to combine both, so viewers can go to a Timestamp for any follow-up app that they are interested in, without having to figure it out by looking at both Timestamps and the mentioned apps list. Regardless, like your style and the effort you put in to make it so easy to follow. 👍

it takes a bit learning curve from windows to mac. but mac apps are mostly well optimized and straightforward. it wont take long to achieve a comfortable user experience. i switched to apple silicon based mac last year . that's probably one of the best decisions i have ever made. i love working on my computer a lot of more. also the new iphone mirror feature makes the iphone pickup action goes away.
Dude I stumbled on this video and I have to say for a video promising to deliver handy apps. You made a video delivering handy apps!! Tomorrow’s coffee is in your honour! ☕️

Yoo nice video. thanks for the apps! How do you find all those applications? any recommendation or web resources where i can look for other useful apps?
This video has an insane value oO And it's coming from someone who search for a little of these little app to make everyday computing easier 😊 I think I just installed about half of them right now 😅 Thanks a lot Jeff 🙏
Hi Jeff! Great stuff as always. My favorite app from the video is Hyperduck. I have a question about another app - do you use any antivirus apps? Could you recommend one? I want my M1 Macbook Pro to be fast and secure so no personal or professional information can be stolen.
Thanks a lot Jeff! just picked up my 2012 Macbook pro, which had been broken since October last year, from the repair shop. Hopefully these apps will work on it too 💪
This video just mac-nified my productivity! 🍏💪 Seriously, this video is packed with pure gold-can’t wait to see the difference. Thanks for the app-solute gems! 😄
super helpful video - btw: there is also OCR built in in Shottr... also whilst copying with a possibility to keep/remove line breaks depending on the occasion ;)
I couldn't because Apple VPN blocked all websites with Android-related information for some reason 🤯 On a more serious note I'm a HUGE FAN OF YOUR VIDEOS MACVINCE!!!! Your editing is INSANE 😁
thanks nice video :) made me want to power use the GPT Mac app. a couple of nice tips: Alfred: there is a nice built in Eject all command. Emoji: use globe key + e
Great video and first Local Send will try asap as I often have e issues w airdrop not synching between my iPhone and MacbookPro (have to reboot phone and Mac often for it to work)
@@JeffSu Alfred feels more native-y to MacOS, I have tried Raycast and Alfred both. Raycast looks stunning and has all these cool extensions, but for me personally, the Alfred powerpack is insanely powerful and “QUICK” than Raycast. Although I hope they tweak the UI of Alfred to make it ‘look’ more integrated like Raycast, that’s something I wish for!
Thank for update new Pro Tip and 10 Mac apps I truly haven't heard of and I love how your put so much effort in to making each video to high quality content GreatJobbb. love to see your next content
@@JeffSu I dont know how to explain it further. Any tab opened on any device in your safari can be opened from any device that is logged in the same Apple account. So just leave the tab opened on iPhone and open it later on Mac.
Jeff, why no mention of BLIP, it is beyond amazing!!! let me know your thought on it! could be so much better, but WOW. also is that mic arm the Elgato Wave Mic Arm ?
When I tried to download it last night, the download page specifically stated that they were currently rolling out ChatGPT for Mac only to Plus and team members. They then stated they would roll it out to free accounts in the coming months. I guess they have not updated their download page yet?
Even I have the free version and downloaded it last week. Yes models are limited, but that’s cause its the free version. Maybe change your country via a free vpn like proton vpn
Do you know of an emoji interpreter? I frequently don't recognize the emoji that I see. It's like reading hieroglyphics. Sort of like Rocket in reverse -- Tekcor?
@@JeffSu I can really recommend it. It changed how I work a lot and I still discover new use cases every week. The extensions I use most are: Change Case, Clean Keaboard, Coffee, Color Picker, Google Search (with suggestions), Kill Process, Lorem Ipsum (creates filler text), Network Diagnostics and Network Speed, Power Management (gives you a menu bar item to manually start the low power mode), ScreenOCR, Set Audio Devices, Text Decorator, Unicode Symbol Search, Word Count, UA-cam Downloader. You could also create your own extensions or use Skripts or Shortcuts with Raycast and of course there are the inbuilt features like QuickLinks (to websites OR to folders and files), Snippets (you can even Store DaVinci Resolve nodes as snippets), Clipboard History (although I prefer the UI of Maccy), Emoji Picker or Window Management. It works especially great in tandem with Karabiner Elements. I would love to see a video from you about it!

Hi Jeff! Great stuff as always. My favorite app from the video is Hyperduck.
I have a question about another app - do you use any antivirus apps? Could you recommend one?
I want my M1 Macbook Pro to be fast and secure so no personal or professional information can be stolen.
So I've always been in the camp that macbooks don't need antivirus apps lol
Don't use any of these, your mac comes with Gatekeeper, XProtect, Malware Removal Tool all built in.
I never comment on videos but all of these apps are actually extremely useful! Thank you! Subscribed!
Woohooo welcome and thanks 😁
Thanks a lot Jeff! just picked up my 2012 Macbook pro, which had been broken since October last year, from the repair shop. Hopefully these apps will work on it too 💪
Just remember to use the Intel versions of the apps (as opposed to the silicon chip version)!

Regarding the Hyperduck. You can also just leave the tab open on your phone and easily open it on your mac once you get home. That’s what I do.

Would you switch from Alfred to Raycast?
Nope, there's no point switching for the sake of switching
quick question 1 - Local send work across iphone and android?
Yes it does!
Is it wrong to feel all fancy cause I've been using one of these already? 'Cause I do. 🦄
You might want to mention that chat GPT for Mac is currently available only for Plus and Team members.

Wait really? Which operating systems are you using?

how about snapdrop instead of local send? it's just a browser window with the same capabilities as airdrop
