   Simple UI, and does what is says very well!

   If you use a monitor with your Mac, this app is life changing. I started using DisplayBuddy and I can never go back to monitor buttons now!

   👍 Pros:    Works perfectly|Supports mac shortcuts

• Little macOS Apps That Make a Big Difference in 2024

  Adding my must haves: - DisplayBuddy: a more modern alternative to BetterDisplay to control monitors (https://displaybuddy.app) - Magnet: the simplest and best window manager (https://magnet.crowdcafe.com) - DaisyDisk: fantastic way to visualise your disk usage and free up space (https://daisydiskapp.com). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Notetaking app similar to index cards but where you can create small notes quickly and put them into categories/stacks (as you would with normal index cards)

  Anyone seen a note-taking app where you can just drag and drop sentences, paragraphs, notes etc. Into buckets/folders or similar types of divides. Perhaps like https://speare.com - would really like an easier way to collect together refs than exhausting copy and paste.

• Dragging/dropping feature OR easy way to move many notes into categories or folders (stacking like index cards)

  Is there a function on Obsidian - or any other application - where you can just drag and drop sentences, paragraphs, notes etc. (or atomic notes) into buckets/folders or similar types of divides. The notes are small - sometimes a sentence or a clause - and for that reason I don't tend to use Obsidian due to having to make a note title for each file.
