The sixth part of my series "Tiny macOS utility apps I love" is out. This time I wrote about Supercharge by @sindresorhus, #HoudahSpot, and Hand Mirror by @rafa.
Read the whole post down below, and make sure to also check out the previous parts to discover lovely tiny macOS apps.
@lexknowssystems @randomgeek Using #BeMail and tagging MP3s right in the desktop Tracker because of BFS’ (now #BeFS) extended attributes was the shit. I wish #Apple would enable the same thing with #macOS' #Finder in addition to #Spotlight.
(#HoudahSpot is sometimes a good alternative for files but no longer works for Mail as Apple deprecated Mail Plug-Ins with #Monterey in 2021 and killed them in 2023's #Sonoma in favor of Mail App Extensions: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2023/06/14/rip-apple-mail-plug-ins/)
@danderson ::shrug:: I use a #Mac because it has, well, Spotlight among other things that are plenty smart on-device (and can be explicitly limited to never search or send data elsewhere: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/turn-off-siri-suggestions-for-spotlight-mchl62db64f5)
And utilities like the built-in mdfind terminal command (https://ss64.com/osx/mdfind.html) and the commercial GUI #HoudahSpot (https://www.houdah.com/houdahSpot) use the same search index

@pkm #pkm community, does anyone have experience with #setapp? I have never taken a look at it because I try to keep my applications weeded out, using the less is more philosophy.
With that said, seeing that #ulysses is included and that is $39 / year on its own subscription, I started looking at the other apps that I already use - currently #busycal #busycontacts #goodtask #houdahspot #netspot and #Hookmark
So where is the break even point in consolidating?
Könnt Ihr das bestätigen?
#macOS 10.15 #Catalina verbietet Drittanwendungen die Suche im Mail.app Spotlight-Index.
#HoudahSpot und #Tembo werden daher keine Apple Mail Nachrichten mehr finden können.
