Kickstart 2022 with top picks

Let’s equip you with the gems that will help achieve your bold goals in 2022. 

Apps of the year: CleanMyMac X and iStat Menus 

As per ZDNet’s “Best Mac App 2022” review, CleanMyMac X and iStat Menus are among the top 10 essential utilities this year. We couldn’t agree more. This stellar duo will help you keep your Mac fast, clutter-free, and high-performing. Just in case you haven’t installed them yet. 

Boost security

Every year, ever more nuanced malware threats are targeting macOS. If your Mac has security vulnerabilities, it could be exposed to those threats. Keep Pareto Security in your menu bar and run regular checks to ensure your Mac is safe and sound. 

“Strong password” has almost become a cliche. But this doesn’t change the fact that most people get hacked because their passwords are too weak. Secrets will not only generate unbreakable passwords for you, it will also keep them securely hidden on your Mac. 

Take control of your productivity 

Start tracking your productivity to achieve more this year. In Session, you can set up your flexible work sessions, rate them, and then receive detailed statistics on your performance. 

Here’s another tip: spend 10 minutes to note down the repeated actions you perform every day. The apps you open, the cloud services you use, and so on. Then, bring them all into Dropzone for quick access. You’ll be amazed at how much time it saves. 

Actually, how much time does it save? Only Timemator knows. For each major activity — let’s say, working on a report or having brainstorms with your team — create a set of rules for automatic tracking. This will help Timemator figure out how much time you spend on tasks.

Rest, productively 

No idea who you are or what you do, but we know one thing about you: You should rest more. Here are a few tools to help you rest productively.

Get Speech Central to enjoy a book or an article without eyestrain. Upload text into Speech Central to turn it into audio, and listen on Mac or iPhone. 

Going on a trip? Take TripMode with you. It will help you save money on mobile internet and browse faster on slow networks. 

Finish up with a quick check of your emotional well-being (well, who knows, maybe taking that extra day off is a good idea after all?) Mental Walk will guide you through the process. 

Hope this how-to will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more how-tos picked for you below.
