MonitorControl
macOS, бесплатно
monitorcontrol.app
Программа для контроля параметров (яркость и громкость) подключённого внешнего монитора из macOS. Действительно работает как заявлено, но у меня бывает странное поведение вплоть до пропажи сигнала.
Stats
macOS, бесплатно
github.com/exelban/stats
Бесплатный аналог iStat Menus, показывает всякую статистику вашего компьютерного железа.
GlobeKey
macOS, бесплатно
starfree.app/globekey.html
Маленькая утилита, которая назначает на клавишу с глобусом на вашем новейшем макбуке какое-то другое действие на ваш выбор.
EasyPhotogrammetry
macOS, бесплатно
starfree.app/easyphotogrammetry.html
У автора предыдущей программы есть ещё несколько интересных, например, эта. Позволяет создать 3D-модель путём фотограмметрии — на основе массива фотографий объекта с разных ракурсов.

The Apple Store Time Machine
macOS, бесплатно
departmentmap.store/timemachine
Виртуальные эпл-сторы на движке Unity, можно ходить и рассматривать всякое. Пользы ноль, удовольствия куча, советую попробовать.
Beam
macOS, бесплатно
beamapp.co
Новая программа для ведения заметок и дневников. У неё даже есть командная строка как у Raycast, сейчас так модно делать.
Journal
все платформы, бесплатно
journal.do
Ещё одна программка для дневников, если предыдущая вам не подошла. Что-то в последнее время все подряд их делают. А вот мы сделали «Символы» ещё когда это не было мейнстримом!
NepTunes
macOS, бесплатно / $10
neptunesmac.app
Контроллер для Apple Music или Spotify с настраиваемым внешним видом виджета. Хоть я сам и не пользуюсь такими штуками, потому что мне достаточно хоткеев, всегда интересно их пробовать и поизучать.
Until
iOS, бесплатно / $2
getuntil.app
Программа, которая генерирует виджеты с обратным отсчётом. Бесплатно доступен только 1 счётчик с ограниченным оформлением, но за 2 бакса все ограничения снимаются. Использую её, чтобы помнить, сколько времени осталось до антиковидного бустера.

Tagception
macOS, бесплатно
madebyevan.com/tagception
Для любителей скрупулёзной организации. Почему-то я никогда не пробовал организовать файлы на маке с помощью встроенных тегов, как будто обычных папок и так хватало. Но теоретически теги мне нравятся.
MusicHarbor
iOS, бесплатно / $7
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/musicharbor-track-new-music/id1440405750
Программа для отслеживания новых релизов у музыкантов из вашей медиатеки. Рассчитана на работу со стримингом Apple Music, но почти нормально работает и с локальной медиатекой (мой случай).
Batteries for Mac
macOS, 11 €
fadel.io/batteries
Показывает цветной индикатор аккумулятора макбука так же, как теперь можно настроить в iOS — с процентами и цветом. После триала программа не показывает все ваши блютус-устройства в выпадайке, но симпатичный индикатор остаётся.
Mission Control Plus
macOS, 11 €
fadel.io/missioncontrolplus
Добавляет в Mission Control возможность закрывать окна кликом по крестику. Мелочь, а приятно.
Sideways
iOS, бесплатно
andadinosaur.com/launch-sideways
Странный браузер для айфона, предлагающий смотреть на сайты боком, даже если у вас отключён поворот экрана. Очень редко такое бывает нужно, но вдруг вы как раз его и искали.
Diffusion Bee
macOS, бесплатно
diffusionbee.com
«Рисующие» нейросети уже какое-то время назад стали доступны всем, а не только избранным по инвайтам. Эта программа — пример графического интерфейса для такой нейросетки, которая запускается локально на вашем компьютере. На мой взгляд, работает сильно хуже своих «облачных» аналогов, ну, оно и понятно, там и мощности, и датасеты для обучения другого масштаба.
И ещё пара интересных ссылок:

Ivory
iOS, free while in beta
tapbots.com/ivory
testflight.apple.com/join/iDgGfyeO
The best Mastodon client for iOS made by creators of awesome Tweetbot. It's not easy to get into its beta, but developers promise to release it publicly soon. So, one link is to the official website, another one is to the beta in TestFlight.
Mastonaut
macOS, free
mastonaut.app
A desktop client for a strong and independent decentralised Mastodon. Right now it has its many flaws, but I hope it will get better. At least, until we get Ivory for Mac.
For the very beginners, Paul Stamatiou wrote a very detailed Mastodon overview. Subscribe to my Mastodon!
MacWhisper
macOS, free
goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper
Mac app that uses OpenAI's Whisper tech to transcribe audio to text. It works with audio files or you can just dictate. I tried it with different samples and the result is impressive. Though, you still need to edit a transcription manually because it makes a lot of mistakes.
Superstar
macOS, free
apps.apple.com/app/id1635833987
This app lets you read and answer to reviews left by your app's users.
Campsite
Web, free but will be very paid
campsite.design
This service is kinda a Twitter-style feed but only with screenshots of your colleague's designs. It's intended to be used internally to share design updates. I wanted something like that for a long time ago, tbh.
My Pod
iOS, free
apps.apple.com/app/id6443811423
The app that imitates iPod Classic on your iPhone. Download it while it's in the App Store, I guarantee that Apple will take it down. And check out its haptic clicks, feels so good and exactly like on a real iPod!
Music Remote, Music Widget, Music MiniPlayer
macOS, free
marioaguzman.github.io/music
Three fun retro-styled “widgets” to control music that plays in iTunes.

Mammoth
iOS, macOS, free
getmammoth.app
I've already recommended nice apps for Mastodon in previous episode of #usefulapps, but this one is also very, very nice. The best feature of Mammoth is customizability of literally anything. Settings section is huge, and you can not only change the app's icon and color tint, but for example hide search bars on every screen (what I did).
HiDock
macOS, free
hidock.app
New Rafa Conde's app for saving settings of your Dock in macOS depending on which screen you see it (read: external monitors). Might be useful if you're connecting your MacBook to many different displays or just one at your work place.
Lasso
macOS, 12 €
thelasso.app
Another window manager but this one is with nice user interface and a beautiful app icon made by Yannick Lung.
Cheatsheet
iOS, macOS, watchOS, free+
overdesigned.net/cheatsheet
Cheatsheet lets you save short texts that you can quickly enter anywhere with a third-party keyboard. It has the level of simplicity that I like in apps.
Eventually
iOS, free
eventually.app
Tiny app made by Daniel Eden that shows birthdays or other significant events in one list or in home screen widget.
QuickShade
macOS, free
apps.apple.com/us/app/quickshade/id931571202?mt=12
This utility app lets you control the brightness of Mac's screen more precisely than macOS itself. Thanks Evgeniy who found it!

I recommend here interesting apps and utilities mostly randomly, but this time we have a topic: internet hygiene. There are plenty of apps that help to make internet more convenient for us, we just rarely use it for some reason. Here are some apps that fix problems you encounter every day.
Quitter
macOS, free
marco.org/apps
Quitter is a Mac app that automatically hides or quits apps after periods of inactivity. It’s great for minimizing distraction from social apps like Twitter and Slack, news readers, or even your email app.
Jellyfin
Crossplatform, free
jellyfin.org
Creating a Plex mediaserver never worked for me, it is just too complicated. And Plex itself looks like a programming IDE. Recently I had to find a solution and I’ve found one! It’s free and open-source media server Jellyfin. Give it a chance.
Eat the Shorts
macOS, $2
apps.apple.com/gb/app/eat-the-shorts-for-safari/id1668012393?mt=12
Tired of seeing a mass of YouTube Shorts every time you open YouTube? Browse YouTube as it should be, simply long form videos that you want to see. Block YouTube Shorts quick and easily with Eat the Shorts. Hide Shorts from your subscriptions, from channels and even browsing.
Minimal Twitter
macOS, free
typefully.com/minimal-twitter
Not that I care about it anymore but some people still do. This app allows you to customize your Twitter experience: hide view counts, remove “For you / Following” tabs, remove Trends sidebar, customize Timeline width, remove promoted posts, remove “Who to Follow” and other suggestions, etc.
One Thing
macOS, free
sindresorhus.com/one-thing
This tiny but beautiful utility just adds any text or character in the menubar. That's it.
Pure Paste
macOS, free
sindresorhus.com/pure-paste
Force macOS always strip down text styles when you copy–paste. I needed that a long time ago. Quality of life improvement!
Next 4 apps are made by the same developer Jeffrey Johnson. Our tastes in the internet of today match perfectly.
StopTheMadness
macOS, $10 ∙ iOS, $8
underpassapp.com/stopthemadness
A web browser extension that stops web site annoyances and privacy violations.
Tweaks for Twitter
macOS, $5 ∙ iOS, $5
underpassapp.com/tweaks
A web browser extension that improves the user interface of Twitter in many ways. Similar to Minimal Twitter (see above) and paid. But good.
Link Unshortener
macOS, $8
underpassapp.com/linkunshortener
Link Unshortener is a Mac app that expands shortened web links, following redirects until it reveals the destination URL. Never again click a link before you know where it's going!
Stop the Mac App Store
macOS, free
github.com/lapcat/StopTheMacAppStore
Stop the Mac App Store is an app for macOS 11 or later that automatically handles Mac App Store URLs instead of App Store app. If you allow Safari to open a Mac App Store URL in Stop the Mac App Store, the app's page will then open in the App Store. This lets you stop App Store from automatically opening.

I didn't communicate it here because I usually try separating my projects so it's not the same in my channel, my blog, and my social medias. But sometimes I think it's worth mentioning. Showroom podcast has recently reached 200th episode and we celebrated it with some changes, including a new cover artwork.

Once in a while I visit Letterspace meetups in Amsterdam where type designers give talks about their works. This time, July 12 2023, the meetup was at Oedipus Brewery, and the creative director of Oedipus (or, “head of color”) Victor Brangolo told us how he created a unique typeface for using it for beer labels and brewery's promo materials. I took some pics inside the brewery itself and its surroundings.

I started using DuckDuckGo search several years ago as an experiment and it kinda sticked. I didn't have any problems with finding anything from that “Bing in disguise” since then. But recently I decided to make a reversed experiment and start using Google search for a while. And the following is what I learned.
It turns out that adding a key udm=14 to a search query for Google removes all the trash such as cards, AI answers, etc. It leaves only web search results, check it out:
👎 with trash:
https://google.com/search?q=scarlett%20johansson
👍 without trash:
https://google.com/search?q=scarlett%20johansson&udm=14
There is a website dedicated to this lifehack (remember this word?):
► udm14.com
Of course, nobody is going to add this key for every single search query. I solved the problem with a $1 Safari extension that I already use for a long time and that I previously recommended in this channel, Keyword Search:
http://safarikeywordsearch.aurlien.net
With Keyword Search, I've set up my search string like this:

, it brings me nice and clean web search results.
