The following setup will allow you to open your apps and complete your tasks as quickly as possible, without the need for complicated features.ġ. Most of what’s included in the Mac (and Windows, for that matter) is unnecessary for getting simple tasks done. Choose some simple apps and just get your work done. Geeks like me tend to always try the latest and greatest apps. Choose a path, and then just stick with it. Most other formats, such as databases, are bloated, corruptible, often proprietary, and not compatible with other programs.ĥ. They should be lightweight, and if possible, have only one purpose and few features.Ĥ. Instead, keep apps as simple as possible. It takes a long time to load big apps, and they often crash or slow things down. They want to be everything, but that leads to feature bloat and memory hogs. Turning some of them off helps keep the system lean.ģ. ![]() Unfortunately, you can’t turn most of them off without some serious hacking. I recommend against using these features, as they just slow things down most of the time. On the Mac, they include: the Dock, Spotlight, the Dashboard, Spaces, Expose, Automator, the menu bar, Bluetooth, MobileMe, Print & Fax, Time Machine, the Screen Saver, and much more. ![]() Modern systems tend to be bloated, because they offer so many cool features. Keeping your Mac clutter-free minimizes distractions and confusion and allows you to focus.Ģ. It’s not recommended for those who are into the latest, coolest applications or who aren’t into simplicity, or who have heavier needs than mine. I highly recommend this setup for anyone looking to keep things simple and fast. Work is frictionless, and doesn’t take long. I doubt many will think it's not worth the $20.A minimalist Mac setup is lightweight, lean, uncluttered, with simple apps.Īs a result, things run at a blazing speed, without bloated applications to slow things down. If at first you don't realize all it can do and don't think you will like it give it a little longer and really try it out. This is just the very tip of the iceberg!!! it does sooooooo much! you simply HAVE to try it a few days and it wouldn't hurt to actually read the read me because all it can do is not immediately obvious! Hold command while hitting enter (return) and it will open a finder window the selected item is in Or while the list is showing drag and drop a file on it and it will open that file in that app launchbar actually looks at your bookmarks inside safari or other browser and your contacts in address book and with a simple command space pops up a place to start typing.Īs you type it shortens the list of found items :-) hit enter and it launches the item. ![]() ![]() You see this applescript while nice only launches apps. it's simply the easiest way to launch and app, switch to an app, navigate you drives files, launch bookmarks and email addresses just too sweet. I tried launchbar and within 1 day HAD to buy it. there is no comparison of an applescript no matter how complex you could try to make and Launchbar. While I love and use applescript for many tasks. ![]()
