Changing the batteries is easy enough. Give it a twist, and it separates. Put the new CR2032 battery in (I use these), then twist it back together.
On the subject of AirTags, I recently bought a few Apple TV remotes with built-in AirTag holders. I love these. I can find the remote via sonar, and they double as NFC tags so I can trigger “Movie” lighting by holding them to my phone.
I hope you had a great weekend. Today, I’m hitting the ground running with a planning session for the Early Access members. It’s a busy week for me with three podcast recordings, two live events in the Labs, other videos getting recorded for the Labs, and Field Guide work.
Following up on my glass board question last week, I got lots of good advice in the forums. I’ve decided to try it this week as a sort-of daily list…
As someone who values productivity and efficiency, I am thrilled to endorse the upcoming Nonprofit Productivity Summit December 6-7. If you’re interested in learning more about how to be productive, reserve a spot today and join us. It’s free and virtual.
This innovative event brings together leading experts and practitioners in the nonprofit sector to share their knowledge and insights on how organizations can improve their productivity and achieve their goals more effectively.
At a time when the challenges facing the nonprofit sector are greater than ever, the Nonprofit Productivity Summit provides a crucial platform for learning, networking, and advancing the cause of social good. By attending the summit, nonprofit professionals can gain valuable insights and strategies for increasing their productivity and making a bigger impact in their communities.
One of the key highlights of the Nonprofit Productivity Summit is the wide range of expert speakers who will be sharing their knowledge and experiences. From seasoned leaders in the nonprofit sector to up-and-coming innovators, the summit will feature a diverse range of voices and perspectives on how to increase productivity in the nonprofit world. I’ll be one of this year’s speakers where I cover the importance and pitfalls of task management.
This summit is a labor of love from Michael St. Pierre. He does an excellent job and if you work in non-profit or know anybody that does, you’ll want to pass this along.
I’ve turned the dock on my iPhone and iPad into a utility contextual super-launcher. In this session, I will show you how I did it and answer questions about how you can set up your own…
I often hear from listeners/readers looking for a research solution in the Mac ecosystem. My favorite app for this, without a doubt, is DEVONthink. DEVONthink is the most professional document and information management application for the Mac. It’s the one place for storing all your documents, snippets, or bookmarks, and working with them.
The Integrated A.I. assists you with filing and searching, while the extensive search language with advanced Boolean operators.
DEVONthink features a Flexible sync system that supports many cloud services – or lets you synchronize over the local network too – with everything securely encrypted. This gives you the choice for however syncing works best for you!
It has Smart rules and flexible reminders that let you automate all parts of your workflow and delegate boring, repeating tasks. Let DEVONthink automatically organize your data with rules you define!
DEVONthink’s AppleScript dictionary is one of the largest on the Mac. There’s no part of DEVONthink that can’t be automated. Extend DEVONthink’s functionality with your own commands by adding them to its Scripts menu.
Even templates can have scripts inside and you can set up new documents with data from placeholders, or inserted by your own AppleScript code.
And, of course, there’s so much more, from an iOS companion app, email archiving, scanning, or even an embedded web server for sharing your data securely with your team.
I often get email from folks who are using apps like Obsidian or Craft and trying to figure out document management in those apps. My answer is to put all that stuff in DEVONthink. While these emerging PKM apps are pretty great, they can’t hold a candle to DEVONthink when it comes to working with actual files.
On top of all of that, the DEVONthink team just keeps iterating. Just a few days ago they released the latest version 3.8.7 thet displays highlights in HTML-based documents in the Annotations inspector and lets you summarize them. A submenu of the Reveal contextual menu command gives you easy access to the location of replicated or duplicated items, and a new menu item lets you open the Info popover for a tag directly from any tagging field, e.g., the Tags bar.
For WikiLinks, aliases can now be separated by a delimiter you define. And if you are a user of the Pro or Server edition you can export a PDF of the Concordance inspector’s related words graph or word cloud. DEVONthink 3.8.7also adds support for clipping from the Orion web browser. DEVONthink just keeps getting better.
I find DEVONthink’s combination of innovative features and automation support irresistible. Interested? MacSparky readers can get a 20% discount on DEVONthink..
