4 apps to unplug for holidays
As the year is coming to an end, we all need to recharge. Recharging doesn’t mean falling into a 7-day Netflix coma, though. Here are the top 4 apps that will help you unplug and enjoy the holiday season.
Holiday edition
Minimize screen time
Remember you wanted at least a few days without screens? Well, we must admit, the modern world doesn’t make it easy. Even if you don’t work, you’ll want to catch up on some articles you’ve bookmarked months ago or finally read that electronic book you’ve been putting off. Guess what, you can do all that without staring at screens.
Speech Central is a voice reader that can read out books, docs, articles, your mom’s messages, anything. Import text, export audio — as easy as that.
Unlock new streaming services
Streaming services are all the rage these days, so it’s a pity most of them are geo-restricted or offer different content in different locations. If you’ve long wanted to check out Norwegian Netflix in the US or unlock a streaming service that doesn’t work in your country, get ClearVPN.
ClearVPN offers shortcuts to a variety of streaming services and geo-restricted movie catalogs, so you can check out new awesome content during holidays.
Watch an old movie
We don’t know if it’s going to be day 3 or 13 of your holidays, but there will be a moment when you’ll be desperate to watch an old movie. With your family, maybe? Folx can help download non-copyrighted torrent files faster than any other tool. On average, it won’t take you longer than 20 minutes to download a 2-hour movie on Mac with Folx.
Just type the name of the movie in the Folx search. Or, to be sure that you’re downloading a non-copyrighted file, search for it on websites such as Legit Torrents, then copy the link and paste it in Folx.
Take it to a big screen
Got the movie? Great. You should agree it will look good on a big screen. JustStream is an amazing app for mirroring your Mac’s screen to any TV — and not just Apple TV.
On a final note, if you can just turn everything off and enjoy a good paper book, don’t hesitate to do that. And happy holidays! Hope to see you all recharged and ready to tackle new tasks with Setapp in 2022.
