Get your long-awaited updates now
We’re hyped up about the new macOS and whatever improvements it might bring. But Apple doesn’t always act on our expectations. Even if it does, we have to wait until fall for the official macOS release. So here’s a toolkit that brings some long-awaited perks to Mac.
Fill the macOS gaps today
Time Machine craves an update
Time Machine’s incremental backups can be awfully huge. This is why we’d love some solution for storing those heavy backups beyond Mac. Backing up to iCloud, maybe?
Until Apple rolls out cloud backups, replace Time Machine with Get Backup Pro. It’s an advanced backup manager that can create bootable backups, with only essential files in them. In other words, you choose what you want to back up and can store your backups externally.
Menu bar is not customizable enough
We loved that Apple had allowed removing system icons from the menu bar. But what about third-party app icons? We need to control them, too! Luckily, there’s Bartender that can hide all your menu bar icons, and even create a secondary menu bar if one is not enough.
Desktop widgets would be nice
Right now, Mac widgets are pretty much tucked away — you have to do some clicking to access them. This is unproductive and could be improved with Apple adding desktop widgets to Mac. Always there, easy to show and hide. Actually, there’s WidgetWall for that. The app lets you create widgets to quickly access apps, check important Mac health indicators, or just stare at the photos of your cute pet.
We need a tool to organize apps
Everyone pretty much agrees Launchpad is a mess — especially if you have tons of apps installed on Mac. This could be partially fixed with iOS-like App Library. Or even better, you can fix this with Workspaces. Group together apps, files, and even emails — everything you think belongs to a certain workspace. You can also open all workspace resources with a click.
Hope this use case will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more use cases picked for you below.
