Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.

I prefer using built-in features rather than downloading an app for every task: 1. Alfred = Spotlight 2. Moom = Press and hold option+move your cursor over the green button on the top left corner of the window -> move window to left or right 3. Amphetamine = Terminal -> type command "caffeinate". Or "caffeinate -t 600", to keep your Mac awake for 10 minutes 4. Cleanshot X = Cmd+shift+4

Don’t apologize for the length of this video! One of your best! Really helpful… Thanks much! 😎👍
Very glad I found your channel, informative and very knowledgeable individual that kept it fun and interesting the whole time thru. I will be checking into many of the applications that you mentioned!
Hello, Ali! These videos are my favorite- I wish you did them more often. One thing I noticed from the previous months, why did you switch from Todoist to Things 3?
Wow, this video was so helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on this topic
Super useful video thank you
Today, it’s nice to see Classic Ali with the Grey Top. Takes me back to the first video of yours that I saw.
This is the video I´ve been waiting
Looooove you!!! Thank you this is super helpful!
This is great that you showed all these applications and I hope that most of people will find it useful. But to me these are so non-essential things. I feel like I would have to force myself to use those if I had to.
You’re so intelligent I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot getting thru your vids.
Thanks for the shoutout, Ali! We're so honored to be one of your favorites 💜
Thank you Ali. All the best
Cool video, brother! Keep it up!
Amazing video! Super help thanks for the awesome work
Thanks Ali Bhai 🙏🏻All suggestions are awesome.
Thank you, Ali! 👍
I’ll have to start using these!
Masha Allah Ali bhai ... you've been so helpful to me alhamdulillah for my studies May Allah bless you more ✨️
Spotlight does exactly everything that alfred does. Especially your currency conversion example I tried it in spotlight and had the answer before I finished typing it

This video just changed my life lol. Thank you
nice apps, nice tips, nice video
Ali - liking the desktop background. Could you guide us on where to find it? Thank you, sir!
Ohhhh that Alfred App is the best!! Thanks for the tip!!
Thanks bro; you are so lovely and enjoyed it
Great job😊😊
How on EARTHHHHH did this not get pushed to me on KZread?! I had to go and find this manually meanwhile I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video since 2022. Thank you, Ali. Pumped.
great list! did you replace Todoist with Things 3?
Hi Ali I really love your content can you please do a video on how you use Day One please :)
Have your tried Arc browser? Such a pretty design, similar workspace concept as sigma
What’s the video editing tool you use man? I really enjoy your content 🎉
Hey! if you use app nr.3 Amphetamine, you are able to keep the display of your second monitor on and fully close your Mac book without it having to be on charge
An updated calendar video would be great
Sir you are an inspiration
Another great video :)) How is things different from Notion?
Bro, please make a video on --how to use any app in full screen , overlapping the notch bar (basically in macbook air m2 and upgraded line up models)
Loved every second of it!
Amazing how you find these kind of trivia

Excellent Ali.
Nice content,...love how it helps fast track your productivity speed.
Which app do you use to choose your apps? ;0) Great video and content. Love your channel. Namaste x
Was so beneficial; thanks again. I bought MOOM :)
just add downloads folder or any folder to dock, its faster. 1 click. you can also do currency conversion in the calculator btw.
We NEED another live!! Pls!!🙏
Thanks for this informative video. It's been 10 years since I've used an Apple device. But tomorrow I'll be back with the MacBook Air M2 and I'm looking forward to rediscovering the Mac!
Another video concept rehashed with the same apps for the millionth time. Fantastic. Full time KZread paying off big time!
You were researching about warikoo ? loved the moment of seeing two of my favourite KZreadrs
So so valuable
Could you please share the link where you bought that cover of the MacBook, thanks before hand.
For your study spotify list, can I recommend two tracks from the Destiny2 soundtracks: 'Journey' and 'Deep Stone Lullaby'
Oh interesting. I was thinking of picking up an M2 Mac Mini as well.
good content 😍
Looking good Ali, you been working out?
You gotta switch to Raycast from Alfred - it's life changing (I'm an Alfred Powerpack user)
@andergarcia4729

Agreed. Raycast is so much more than an Alfred replacement. For example, you could easily substitute Amphetamine as well with Raycast's "caffeinate" function.
Scihub reference was kinda satisfying. 😂
why don’t you do cmd + shift + 4 to screenshot? so much easier & quicker
Hi! What app do you use to edit videos, please?
Spotlight can do google search. Or whatever your default search engine is.
My fav KZread channel ❤

But I wish you use Chromium (like he said) instead of WebKit. Really love the way you approached to "vimium" my behaviour. But I switched to Arc just because they use chromium.

Raycast is an amazing, free, and in many ways better, alternative to Alfred. Full of extensions to integrate it with so many other apps!
do you use any of the apps that came with the OS? LOL j/k good review!
Hey Ali, you kept mentioning how long this video is, did not seem very long though, I found it quite interesting and it was helpful to me since I'm planning to shift to apple myself. Thanks!
Spotlight built in literally does everything Alfred does. Your just making the keyboard shortcut to activate it longer.
Just bought my first ever Macbook! Anyone recommend any more additional apps?
i genuinly did not expect ankur warikoo to be your student
Wish I had Zotero in my Academic Career so that I didn’t have to have to undergo panic to get my references and citations in order.
Quick question how can change the shortcut for Alfred for CMD+Space when i wanna change it, it opens apples default spotlight
So what's the difference between Notion and Obsidian?
Whats the microphone Youre using?
Love raycast😍
What do you think about Arc Browser?
Ankur Warikoo is Ali Abdaal's KZreadr Academy student? What?...
You don't need Alfred to do any of the things shown in this video. You can do all of them natively with Spotlight.
How much would you take for teaching me all this desktop work and computer usage? In about one week.
Do you make use of SetApp?
Do one for your phone as well brother !
Thanks!
feature Live Camera app!
Hei Ali, hope you are well! Why did you switch from Todoist to Things?
