  • First own Macbook, any ”must have apps“?
    Alfred as a spotlight replacement that works amazingly. Dockey to change dock settings. Vanilla or Bartender for managing your menu bar. Fantastical is a great calendar app for all Apple devices. And Spark as a good email client. Source: about 2 years ago
  • How to re-arrange the Apps on my Dock?
    Well, I like TinkerTool (it's my favorite tweaks app) but if you only use it to disable the dock delay, you could use this command or if you prefer a GUI there's Dockey. Source: over 2 years ago
  • First Look: Menu Bar in Fullscreen in macOS Monterey
    There's a nice free app for that now. If you prefer to use the code then, by all means. Source: almost 3 years ago

  • Can I lock my Mac when an AirTag moves away from it?
    There are ways to do this with an iPhone and/or Apple Watch. Near Lock is one option. Source: over 1 year ago
  • An app that locks the mac if it hasn't detected your face in 3 minutes.
    I don't think such an app exists, but maybe Near Lock comes in handy: https://nearlock.me/. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Alternative to Near Lock !
    I've been trying for over a year to find an app that unlock my Hackintosh (and MBP) with my phone or other blueprint when I get near it (and lock it when I walk away). I have a Whoop band so an Apple Watch isn't an option right now (until they add BP monitoring and my Whoop sub runs out at least). I found Near Lock and nearly cried with joy. Not only was it exactly what I wanted, it looked slick‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­too.... Source: over 2 years ago
