Stephen Hackett is publishing his third annual Apple Wall Calendar for 2024. This one is focused on Apple Services and Retail and full of gorgeous images. Moreover, Stephen researches the hell out of these calendars and they are packed with interesting Apple history dates. You can get a digital version or a physical version (with the additional digital download). I’ve already ordered mine.
How are you doing with email storage? It’s not that you meant to hoard your emails. You were going to deal with them … some day. But time has passed, and these old emails are piling up and taking up space. If you’re thinking about clearing out some space and cleaning up your inbox, SaneBox, this week’s sponsor at MacSparky, has a new feature that could help you out.
With Email Deep Clean, you can free up space and declutter your inbox. You choose a date, and SaneBox will scan for emails older than that date. SaneBox will analyze the email in your account and send you an analysis of the biggest offenders: what contacts, newsletters, stores, and/or websites are taking up storage. SaneBox will also come up with the senders that are no longer relevant, and you can choose if you want to delete to them.
If you find that your email account is slower than it used to be, it could be because it’s bloated. Use SaneBox’s Email Deep Clean to trim the clutter from your inbox and get it back in shape. You can try SaneBox out for yourself by signing up for a free trial, and, as a friend of MacSparky, you’ll get a $10 credit you can use towards a SaneBox subscription. Get rid of inbox clutter and focus on the email that matters with SaneBox.

Day One’s creator wrote a blog post about Apple’s new journaling app and its relationship to Day One. It’s too early to tell exactly how deep the Journaling app will go, but I doubt it matches the Day One feature set, which has been growing for years. I generally agree with Paul in that I don’t think the Journal app will “Sherlock” Day One. Indeed I could see many folks starting with the Journal app and then moving up to Date One once they get it about journaling.
Recorded live at Apple Park, Stephen and I talk about some of the big announcements from WWDC23 on this episode of Mac Power Users.
