Usage – Monitor Your iPad
by
Something that many macOS users run is iStat Menus, which lets them do some fine grained monitoring of their Mac from the menu bar. Until recently this type of thing wasn’t available for iPadOS, at least not in any way that looked decent. Today we’re going to take a brief look at Usage for iPadOS,…
Unread 2 – My Favourite iPad RSS Client
by
Over the last number of weeks I’ve looked a number of RSS clients for your iPad. Today is the day I’m going to choose a winner out of the contenders. ## RSS Client Criteria The primary task on for an RSS client is reading, so if it doesn’t have an interface that presents words in…
Using Lire on iPadOS for RSS Feeds
by
We’re almost done looking at RSS apps for use on your iPad so that we can make a final pick of the best RSS application for iPadOS. Today we’re going to look at [Lire](https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/lire-full-text-rss/id550441545). To start, Lire has an understated pleasant 2-column design.

Is Reeder 4 the Best iPadOS RSS Client?
by
Today my journey to look at RSS clients means we’re stopping with Reeder, which was my go to RSS client for a while back in Reeder 3 days[^1]. One of the biggest features that puts Reeder above other options is it’s integration with services not of the RSS variety. Specifically if you use Instapaper, Pocket,…
Inspecting Web Pages With iPadOS
by
When I started making my iPad my main computer one big hurdle was inspecting the source code on web pages. Yes iCab had an option, but it was janky and barely worked. Then I looked at WebTools, which was leaps and bounds better but still wasn’t great. Today I’m going to talk a bit about…
