Instead my “big” photo editing application is Affinity Photo.
It’s been years since I used Adobe apps at all, and I’m happy to not have a stupid bill every month for an app that is 99% full of features I don’t need. This functionality doesn’t exist on macOS.
You need to head to the web, or iOS, or Windows or Android to use templates.įinally, as I’ve already mentioned, you can take TickTick automation much further on iOS by using Shortcuts. Yup you read that right, you can’t create a task template or use templates in TickTick on macOS. Second, and a much bigger deal, is that TickTick’s own project template structure doesn’t exist on macOS.
On macOS, they sit in the view of your tasks for the day amidst any tasks you scheduled leading to a more cluttered interface. This action removes them from the things you have to attend to for the day.
> I have a () if you want to learn how to get the most out of your task manager.įirst, the day view in TickTick let’s you “resolve” appointments on your calendar. My task manager of choice is (), which has a few key features available on iOS that don’t exist on macOS. Yup, this is possible on macOS, but it always feels like walking through sand to make it happen with iA Writer on macOS. In iOS, I long press (or 2-finger tap on my trackpad) and then select move and the folder I want to move to. iA Writer doesn’t expose the folders that you’ve told it to monitor in a way that makes it easy to move files from my “Writing” folder to my “Edit” folder on macOS. Specifically, it’s much easy to move files between folders on iOS than it is on macOS. Sure it offers a macOS version, but it feels much harder to use than the iOS variant. When it comes to automation, I reach for my iPad every time. I build my YouTube description and pull links out of a markdown document. I automatically send myself and a my wife medication reminders for our children. On my iPad I have Shortcuts to automate pulling markdown into a format that Google Docs likes. From getting them running, to having them break every few weeks…they were a pain in the ass. I have tried all the macOS automation options and always had trouble with them. Yes macOS has Automator, Keyboard Maestro, Hazel…and many other automation applications but none of them feel as intuitive as Shortcuts does. The most obvious app that gets me on my iPad is Shortcuts.
If I’m trying to do any of the tasks that these apps perform while on my Mac, I feel handicapped by macOS and set free by iPadOS. What apps and tasks are “better” or “easier” on iPadOS? Today I’m going to walk you through the apps that make me long for my iPad when I’m on macOS. Spellcheck is usually per-app, so it is not a system wide setting like autocorrect is in Mac OS.I regularly get asked why I reach for my iPad as much as I do. Right-click on the word in question, then choose “Unlearn Spelling”īy the way, you can also turn off spellcheck on Mail, in Safari, or in in Pages and TextEdit too, which is certainly another valid option.
