Spaces.do – Great Writing App or DOA?
by
Okay I actually find this name unfortunate because it’s just **Spaces** and if you search for that combined with macOS you’re not going to find the writing application you want to find. You’re going to find a bunch of tutorials on how to use the [Spaces feature in macOS](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mh14112/mac).  Spaces.do has…
Why Tweetbot 6 is Worth the Subscription
by
[Matt Birchler published a video earlier today on Tweetbot 6 and it’s move to a subscription model](https://youtu.be/3BEHSHKjlVM). While I get his argument about updates needing to happen to make a subscription worthwhile, I don’t agree with it. Never purchase software based on **future** features. If it doesn’t have the features you need to justify the…

Automating Things 3 with Taskpaper Templates
by
While Things3 has a solid URL scheme I’ve talked about a few times, it’s a huge pain in the ass to use when you need to adjust templates or deal with automation on iPadOS and iOS. The need to detect which device you’re on sucks and Cultured Code needs to come up with some fix…
Time Blocking with Make Time
by
Clearly I’m a fan of time blocking, I put together a [course on it over at Skillshare](https://skl.sh/38MQzz8). Recently a new App [Make Time](https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/make-time-app/id1535796091) came across my radar so I thought I’d take a look at it to see if it was a reasonable tool to help manage your timeblocked day. Before we go further, Make…
Obsidian Plugins I Use
by
Here are some of the plugins I use regularly with Obsidian. Advanced Tables This plugin takes Markdown tables and makes them usable again. I do find it a bit hard to use sometimes, but the results are far easier to read than a standard markdown table with little formatting. I’ll be building all Markdown tables…

Migrate Your Notes from Obsidian to Craft
by
Craft is a newish note taking application that is appealing strongly to those in the Apple ecosystem. It’s especially appealing if you’re a heavy iPad user because the native iPad app is excellent. Because I’m iPad first I wanted to check it out and see if it was worth moving to from Obsidian, which has…
My Data iPadOS and macOS Backup Strategy
by
At least a few times a year someone comes to me with a big problem they think I can fix. Their computer died and they want me to help them get it back up because they have some crucial data that exists no where else. They’re always surprised to find out that I have no…
