Apple News is the reason I cancelled Apple One
I’ve been playing around with some of the various subscription options within the Apple One bundle. To my surprise I’m enjoying Apple TV+ (currently working my way through Mythic Quest), I enjoy Apple Music, Arcade is just ok, Fitness+ is an Apple Watch seller (in a good way) but I can’t continue with it forContinue reading “Apple News is the reason I cancelled Apple One”
Don’t overthink your productivity apps
If you have been following me for a while you’ll know that I switched productivity apps constantly trying to figure out what would work 100% with how I work. What I have come to realise is that there’s no 100% (for you) app out there and that if you use one solution for more thanContinue reading “Don’t overthink your productivity apps”
Is Unsplash worth it?
I recently recreated my Unsplash account in a bid to encourage me to take more photos. I was on the fence about this given I previously deleted my account but I think I’m ok giving it a try for a bit. I use it as a source of inspiration, a place to get cool wallpapersContinue reading “Is Unsplash worth it?”
The best web browser on iOS
I’ve been testing out iOS 15 since WWDC and it got me thinking about how much I’ve been using the DuckDuckGo browser. I was using it before iOS 15 but with the mixed reaction to the changes made by Apple (see MacStories for a great Safari overview) I think more people might start to exploreContinue reading “The best web browser on iOS”
The best note taking apps for iOS
These Notes apps let you organise your thoughts and reference materials with more flexibility than the iOS Notes app. Apple Notes got some improvements in iOS 13 but it still has limitations. Third party apps can give you better organisation, formatting and a better interface. The problem is that there are a whole host ofContinue reading “The best note taking apps for iOS”
My Craft setup
I’ve been a long time user of Apple Notes for everything but in the past few weeks I’ve been slowly switching over to Craft. I started using it for organising my learning but as you can see from my setup above I’ve started to grow the content in the app. It’s a pretty basic structureContinue reading “My Craft setup”
How to fix Safari in iOS 15
I’m seeing very mixed feedback on Safari in iOS 15 beta 1. Some seem to really hate it, I’m somewhere in the middle. I like elements of it like pull to reload the page and the tab groups but I find I’m hunting around to close a tab or hitting a link on the loadedContinue reading “How to fix Safari in iOS 15”
My macOS setup
Whilst using my MacBook this morning I realised that I had never actually shared my macOS setup, only every my iOS one. I’m not sure if many will find this interesting but I thought I’d share my Mac workflow. So, my desktop is pretty clean just quick access to my drive. I use a lotContinue reading “My macOS setup”
Creating a circular profile photo in Pixelmator
I came across this great post and wanted to share it on. I’m starting to use Pixelmator a lot more these days with photo editing on the cheap. It’s actually turned into a really nice app and is installed on my Mac and iOS devices.
