Hook Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• You can deeplink to a specific PDF page

  A bit unrelated - I use Hookmark[0] on my MacOS to deep link local PDFs. I can link to specific sections within a page, although it works only when the PDF is viewed with Skim reader[1] and not the default Preview app [0] https://hookproductivity.com [1] https://skim-app.sourceforge.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Create link from bibliographic reference/quote in an Obsidian document to the page of the book/article PDF in my Zotero library?

  If you’re on Mac you can use the free app Skim, which has ‘deep links’ that take you to a specific PDF page. If you want a link to take you to a specific sentence, then you can use Hookmark and Skim to get links that take you to a specific part of a PDF page. Source: over 3 years ago

• How do you capture highlights, websites and articles & by extension, manage them in Obsidian?

  For capturing websites, you might look into Hookmark which allows you to create a bidirectional link between a URL and a new Obsidian note. I haven't played with this workflow too much just yet, as my biggest vault is my work vault which lives on a PC. If you are on a Mac I would recommend looking into it. Source: over 3 years ago

  Also anyone else reading its called hookmark - https://hookproductivity.com/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Mac app that will build documents based on common content

  Not sure if this does exactly what you’re looking for, but Hookmark would gather everything you tag from any app or website into the same place. Source: over 3 years ago

• Direct link to any file

  I think you can use the Hook app for that: https://hookproductivity.com (and not only for Notion, this app can create instant links for any file on your computer that can be placed literally everywhere, and also can link files between each other). Source: over 3 years ago

• Feature Request: Let me add passwords to attachment related notes

  Buy a subscription to Hookmark (https://hookproductivity.com/), keep your attachments as files, encrypted or not as you wish, create your notes as you wish, hook note and attachment together with Hookmark and encrypt/decrypt your note at will. Source: over 3 years ago

• Long term use of Bear

  I've been experimenting with Hookmark (previously called Hook) a bit, and using the markdown links in their paid versions works well for referencing files, though I don't like depending on a tech like that too much. I'm still thinking of just using a more plain-text path reference. The advantage of Hookmark is that it 'tracks' the file if it is moved, but w/o Hookmark, the reference seems useless... ie. Mixed...

  I think I've found the solution: Hookmark + Workflowy. Source: over 3 years ago

• Obsidian 1.1 available to insiders — adds the new Canvas plugin, an infinite space to brainstorm, diagram and lay out your ideas

  I have been using hookmark to crosslink files, but this seems very elegant. How is the memory usage and what is this canvas stored as on disk? Source: over 3 years ago

• Todoist & Evernote are nicely linked. Ex. Todoist has a link feature that’ll open notes from Evernote. Can things and other note apps do this? Maybe apple notes?

  Many macOS apps support creating links to their content, but sometimes it's a chore to obtain such links. But I bring good news! Hookmark (formerly known as Hook) makes it a breeze to link content between apps, or simply obtain a link to use somewhere else. I highly recommend it, and it is frequently updated to add compatibility to more and more apps. Source: over 3 years ago

• Todoist & Evernote are nicely linked. Ex. Todoist has a link feature that’ll open notes from Evernote. Can things and other note apps do this? Maybe apple notes?

  Another solution is to use the Hook app (now apparently called "Hookmark") - it allows you to link to just about anything on macOS and you can create a workflow to pass the link directly to Things. Source: over 3 years ago

• macOS Ventura is now available

  I have a lifetime/powerpack Alfred license, and I don't use it much, if at all. I have it installed, but in my experience Spotlight has gotten a lot better in recent years, at least to the point where I just use that. My only excuse for using Alfred is Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash), which integrates with Alfred, but these days so does just about every editor I use (including Vim, Emacs and Sublime Text), so I... - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• Spark email client goes subscription path

  There are apps using this though. Two that ring a bell for me are [Agenda](https://www.agenda.com) and [Hook](https://hookproductivity.com) though only the first one has an iOS app that also utilizes this model. I assume they give each feature a date of availability and compare to the last purchase made via the App Store receipts and make features available or unavailable based on that intersection. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• Share/copy task as markdown link?

  On the Mac, try Hook. It’s a paid app, but offers a lot of additional functionality. The most basic use is copying (Markdown) links to almost anything on your Mac. Source: almost 4 years ago

• If you had only one feature / change that could be added to Things 3, what would it be ? Mine would be pictures attachments

  You could probably McGyver an attachments solution on the Mac using an app like Hook. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Linking to an iOS/macOS Calendar event?

  I was able to get some sort of link to the event using the macOS Hook application which presented a schema like this hook://ical/eventID=06CE369A-29AC-49B9-B58D-F8A95F80DB6AcalendarID=34DFD196-11E1-467C-B127-70E15659502D. Source: almost 4 years ago
