Software Alternatives & Reviews

For "power-users" who use *both* Windows and Mac/macbooks, do you find it easy and as efficient to switch between the two on a daily basis? Or should I dedicate myself to ONE OS?

  4. Simple, efficient clipboard manager for your Mac
    Install CopyClip 2. That Win+V feature for clipboard history on Windows is AMAZING. Unfortunate that Mac doesn't have this build in. CopyClip 2 is alright, I've bound alt+V to toggle the menu, which works similar enough to the Windows feature, it's just not that fast. (and with the key swap, it's the same muscle memory) https://fiplab.com/apps/copyclip-for-mac.

  5. Cross-platform software for sharing your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I have Synergy running on both desktops so that I can seemlessly switch my keyboard/mouse focus between the two just by moving the cursor between screens. I find it effortless to switch between the two although on occasion I'll find myself holding the wrong modifier key.
