![]() ![]() PopClip in Setapp is relatively new, so I am just discovering its potential and I will probably install many more extensions in the future. If I mark a YouTube link, the Downie program icon will appear for downloading the video to disk, etc. In addition to those on the manufacturer’s website, the community creates its own plugins.Ībove you can see how PopClip counts the selected characters and enables translation, improvement, and a brief summary of text using GPT. I also recorded a video about BTT (only in Polish).Ībove the selected text, a horizontal menu is added with various information and functions that can be changed and added in the form of plugins downloaded from the Internet. Unfortunately, currently BTT requires license renewal every two years, so even though I bought it a long time ago, thanks to Setapp I have already saved quite a bit on it. It also allows to create keyboard shortcuts and has many other functions. After hovering over it with the cursor, the program window assumes a specific position and size.īetterTouchTool also adds a function of window snapping to the edges, etc. So, when I drag the window, the spaces that I’ve set appear. In my mouse and trackpad, I currently have these gestures:īTT also manages window placement on the screen, like PowerToys in Windows, but it is much more customizable. It allows using various gestures on both the touchpad and mouse, which can do almost anything – switching tabs, closing and opening them, adjusting the volume, filling in a password, or performing 20 simultaneous actions with one gesture. The application that I cannot imagine using a Mac without. Here are some configuration windows: BetterTouchTool Of course, it also supports video recording. These are the biggest differences compared to system screenshots. Automatic wallpaper change during screenshot, immediate uploading to the cloud, a magnifying glass showing precisely the edges, support for scaling and configuration of almost everything – from the size of the frame around the window, to where the finished screenshot should be displayed and for how long. Screenshots and screen recordings can be taken without any additional applications, but only those who have had contact with CleanShot will understand how terrible it works. The free equivalent is Vanilla app, but it works so much worse that I happily switched to Bartender. This is how it would look with all the icons (not including those that would appear only after launching additional applications): This is what my top bar looks like organized with Bartender with icons folded: Especially useful on small laptops, but I always use it even on a large monitor. Allowing for hiding, removing, displaying only when their status changes etc. ![]() Mandatory application that manages menulets (icons in the system’s top bar). Programs improving macOS system Bartender Applications are only removed in extreme situations, such as abandonment by the developer, or when they are in a state that prevents normal use (I remember one situation with an Instagram program where after a while another application was introduced that did the same thing). If a new program appears, it stays forever and doesn’t disappear after a few months/years. Setapp also offers a free one-week trial option: Try for Free (if the link doesn’t work, it may be due to blocking plugin).Īttention: Setapp does not have rotation like Netflix, Game Pass, etc. You can get it for an additional 2.5 USD. In the article, I focus on Mac applications, but some of them also have versions for iPhone and iPad. If free application is in a bundle, then it’s because it’s a version with paid add-ons. The programs are in Setapp because their creators wanted them to be there (just like in Game Pass – it benefits everyone). I would like to add that this software is fully legal and does not exploit developers or vulnerabilities in their licenses in any way. Many of them are so universal that almost everyone will want to use them. The vast majority of my Mac software comes from Setapp, and below I describe the programs that are most important to me. Today, Setapp still costs the same amount, but it includes 240 programs, out of which I use almost 40. Already back then it paid off for me, even if the alternative was using outdated programs for several years and only upgrading every few years. When I first wrote Setapp many years ago, it had 100 applications for $10 and I used 9 of them. As one of the biggest advantages of Macs, I always mention Setapp – a set of hundreds of paid applications that instead of buying individually for a high price, you can have them all in one cheap subscription. ![]()
