Combine Keyboard Maestro with some apple/shell scripting, and you’ve got a stew goin’! I’ve been exploring what it can do with the Pebble SmartWatch and HTTP requests via Smartwatch+ (iOS), and it’s out of control. The features that have been baked into this app make it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut (or anything-shortcut) to almost anything on the Mac. Keyboard Maestro – This app is blowing my mind right now.Students, if you’ve received a long, boring email from me about how the equipment you’ve checked out is overdue, it’s all thanks to the power of TextExpander. TextExpander – TextExpander makes my life so much easier.Alfred – For launching apps and so much more.It’s a web app (unless you use Fluid) that I use every day. Asana – We use Asana at work for all of our project and task management.It just works well, and with iCloud sync (as of right now) it’s really all that I need on the Mac and on iOS. Reminders – I’ve tried so many to-do apps out there, but I always come back to Reminders.
#NVALT HACK SOFTWARE#
I’m that guy at work that is always annoying everyone by saying, “Hey, have you seen/used ?” Some of my most-used software on the Mac includes: I’m constantly falling in love with new software. What software do you use and for what do you use it?Īh, software.
I carry all of this (besides the Mac Mini and work iMac) in either an Incase EO backpack or Penfield Messenger Bag. On the networking/backup side, I’ve got a few 2-3 TB hard drives and a previous-model Airport Extreme connecting it all together, as well as a cloud backup on Backblaze.
#NVALT HACK FULL#
Outside of my mac and iOS devices, my setup also includes a grab-bag full of adapters, cables, external batteries, electronics tool-kit and the like, as well as the Apple TV, Chromecast, Pebble Smartwatch, and a few WeMo sockets. It’s kind of crazy what can be done with iOS devices these days (looking at you, Drafts/ Launch Center Pro/ Editorial, among others), and because of these incredible apps and the folks ( Viticci, Guyot, Weatherhead, Gruenich – I’m probably leaving someone out here) who do incredible things with them and are kind enough to share what they’ve learned, I try to do as much as I can on my iOS devices because of their flexibility and portability. As with everyone, my iPhone is really my main computer.
#NVALT HACK DRIVER#
The MBPr is my daily driver (besides my work-issued iMac (27″, i5, 8GB of RAM, 1TB HDD)) and the Mac Mini serves as my media server (see what I did there), email server, and basically an always-on semi-web server for automation and such.Īs far as iOS, I’m using a iPhone 5 (16GB, Black / super scuffed up) and an iPad Air (16GB, Space Grey).
#NVALT HACK PRO#
On the computer side of things, I’ve gone from an iMac: (21″, i7, 12GB of RAM, 1TB HDD) and Macbook Air (11″, i5, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD) setup to a Macbook Pro Retina (15 inch, i7, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD) and Mac Mini (i5 with a self-installed SSD and 16GB of RAM). My current setup has revolved quite a bit in the last year or so. I handle the hardware (Mac computers and an assortment of A/V gear) and software ( Final Cut Pro X, the Adobe suite, etc.) side of things, making sure everything works well and helps get the job done. Essentially I work with a great team of folks way smarter than I am to help students, faculty, and staff produce high-quality media content and research new ways of delivering content and information. I’m a Digital Media Specialist and media production lab (or “ Media Commons“) manager at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, more specifically at UAB Digital Media. New setup interviews are posted every Monday follow us on RSS or Twitter to stay up to date. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better. Every week we post an interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
