  • Is there a way to quickly restart open apps?
    Probably overkill, especially given it's a paid app, but uBar (Dock replacement) has a shortcut that restarts an app: cmd+shift+click on the app icon. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Apple Silicon Is an Inconvenient Truth
    I use uBar, you can have all windows ungrouped on the bar and it should have the title for each window. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Finally seeing the draw to Mac...
    There's always Ubar for an alt to the dock. It's Windows-esq. Https://brawersoftware.com/products/ubar. Source: over 2 years ago
  • How to make easier MacOS for my mom long time user of Windows?
    UBar could help quite a bit. It replaces the MacOS dock with a Windows-style taskbar. That along with Start, which is basically a Windows Start Menu for the Mac, and she should be good to go. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Multiple MacOS Docks or MacOS Dock Alternatives
    Here is what I´ve found elsewhere: uBar - Cost 30$ - I havent tested this, purely because I doubt I would be paying 30 bux for a dock, also from screenshots, it seems to be tailored to looking like a windows taskbar, which I am not looking for. Source: over 2 years ago

  • How do you Mac users stand that stupid apple mouse?!
    Third party mouse is the way to go, but BetterTouchTool is a great software alternative. You can turn the scrolling off per app. And it has a lot of other great features. https://folivora.ai. Source: 10 months ago
  • An Open Source Mouse and Trackpad Utility for Mac
    > Unpopular opinion, but I like the Magic Mouse I've always liked the Magic Mouse. > The thing with the Magic Mouse is the touch sensor on top! Being able to swipe and scroll horizontally and vertically This is such an underrated feature; I use it constantly. But there's more it can do; Better Touch Tool lets you configure gestures to your heart's content [1]. [1]: https://folivora.ai. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Gaming Mouse with functionality on Apple Silicon
    I use BetterTouchTool to customize my mouse. That tool is amazing, it offers so much more functionality than that, including window management. Source: 11 months ago
  • [request] Change modifier keys when running certain app (Dota2)?
    I use Bettertouchtool for these. You can remap keys for only certain applications. https://folivora.ai. Source: 11 months ago
