Not for everyday use, but a massive time-saver for renaming files and folders: "A Better Finder Rename". Not only marked files, but renames folders AND subfolder content. Can be set to just rename the files, folders, or both. With the native renaming tool I tried to mass-rename folders and nothing happened. Then I got "A Better Finder Rename" and was blown away by its capabilities.
You should do best free apps for Mac not only focus on making money from indirect marketing

The first app is perfect. So simple and seamless to use. I recommend it to anyone who's looking for an easy, fast and safe way of encrypting files or folders. Thanks bro!
Fire 🔥 Thanks for sharing, gonna try a few of these for sure!

I improved my MAC speed by REMOVING Clean My Mac. CMM is the biggest sham out there.
For the drap and drop thing, I see you didn’t use the 3fingers tip : in the accessibility settings , you can choose 3fingers have the same behavior that « hold press » (sorry I am not native english). Really really easy to drag and drop things, move window and other things.

3 fingers settings is absolutely fabulous and easy to use but for 5 dollars the drop over app give access to much more than that. of course if it's just for drag and drop one file here and there, go with the 2 or 3 fingers settings.

Just wanted to point out that Portal 1 and 2 are not compatible with MacOS like Andrew says in the video. Since they are 32 bit apps, they stopped working after version 10.15 Catalina. The Steam page shows this warning, but just wanted to point this out just in case anybody got excited for it.
Hi! Love the video and the apps. Do you know, though, that Apple recommends that you do NOT use Clean My Mac? Why would they recommend against it if it weren’t harmful? I am truly interested because it looks like something I should be using. Any insight? Thank you!

Your Mac wallpaper is so aesthetic. I rate it.
What would you recommend as file manager alternative for Finder (dual-pane)? Thanks!
CleanMyMac!!!!! Amazing and must-have app. Please do a deep-dive on this. I had to use system start-up to disable Adobe creative cloud from launching at start-up as turning this off in preferences did not disable. There are a TON of features besides saving disk space that this app does. Worth every penny:)

Watching this on my brand new 14' MacBook M1 Pro. Thanks for the helpful video 😉
Excellent video! Thanks Andrew
The best thing about macOS for me is apps for dedicated purposes like hiding icons on status bar, dropzone etc. Windows always had similar things but since windows users mostly not willing to pay for small-but-useful stuff, even small sized battery monitoring programs were feeling so immature. On mac (I think because developers can profit from what they developed even with pretty basic but useful features) apps like you've listed takes my computer using experience to whole new level.

Hey! First of all, fantastic video! It has helped me learn more about this MacBook Air and I really appreciate it! I would like to ask, what app do you use to see the CPU temperature, and what apps are using it? Thank you!
Andrew, Hi from Uruguay, just discovered you because I wanted to improve my Imac functionality, Great apps indeed, the only one I will never use again is Clean My Mac, it really made a mess of my Imac. I use Dr. Cleaner elite and have been using it for years. Also does a deep clean . The one I am intrested in is Onyx, did you ever made a tutorial / review about it? Thanks in advance, New subscriber here. Ahh by the way, someone else asked a deeper insight for Craft, Plus one here hehee :) Happy day!

11:04 I don’t think that bartender bar is infamous. It’s awesome!
These are great! New to the ecosystem and would love to try these in my new Mac. I still game on my desktop but Steam on my laptop would be great for quick getaways.
I recently got MacBook Air M2 and searching for good free apps to do some benchmarking(CPU, GPU...). Do you know which apps are good or better yet maybe you can make a video for such apps.
File shelf did something to my laptop. I made the only person with the issue but once I downloaded it my MacBook would not turn on and I had to go to apple to repair then they had to reset my laptop and I lost everything
What about ad blockers for safari ? I use a paid version of 1 Blocker - anything better in 2023?

I don't recommend Bitwarden if your main browser is safari. It breaks captcha scripts on a LOT of pages making it impossible to authenticate unless you disable the extension. This has been reported more than 2 years ago but the Bitwarden devs did nothing about it.
Nice top, thanks for the screenshot tool. For a photo editing, fiund CaptureOne much more potent than a lightroom, especially a cloud version where they compromise a lot on users here and there due to the server costs.

I cant continue to watch a video recommending that Mac ‘cleaning’ app. That’s how and when I know that I’m being sold on things people don’t want or need. 😢 That software dev team actually markets their product with known malware distributors because they fit in with that crowd.
Considering that X is pronounced as Z when being the first letter of a word in English, I would assume the pronunciation of 'Xnip' would simply be 'Znip' (which makes sense contextually). Anyways, thanks for the video.
ayy he said x"nip". CANCEL HIMMM!!! JKJK thank you for the suggestions. I am purchasing my first macbook next week with the air m2 and ill be using all of these.

I can't believe Figma sold itself to Adobe. They were becoming the new graphic design leaders. I know Adobe just acquired them because of that, but I thought this group of developers were happy as they were. Money is so evil!
