Train your Apple Mac to behave with five useful tips
Whether you are a Mac user or a PC’s, the first few days with a brand new computer are all about setting your device up, until it’s able to function with adequate pace and responsiveness.
Sometimes this is accomplished through native settings, but many users find that a number of helpful apps can get them up and running quicker.
Preemptive disk management with Daisy Disk
Running out of storage space is never fun, and all too often what’s taking up space can be just useless data, such as apps that are no longer needed, old documents (tax return PDFs, work files...), and other miscellaneous data that does nothing but taking up space. This is where Daisy Disk comes in.
Daisy Disk is a utility that provides an overview of the entire content of your Mac hard drive, and shows what’s taking up unnecessary space, to help you keep your new Mac light and limber.
Scrub your Mac from unwanted apps with TrashMe
Removing unwanted apps from your Mac is easy on the surface, but as it happens with all desktop, and mobile operating systems, applications often leave behind leftover files and folders that contribute to cluttering your hard drive. TrashMe helps freeing up space by hunting down every single file related to an unwanted app, and remove it.
Keep your Mac from signing out loud, with Muzzy
Your Mac has a great sound system, whether you listen to your favorite tunes through built-in speakers, or through earphones. Unfortunately, unlike an iPhone, a Mac does not stop the music from playing upon unplugging your audio jack. This can be annoying in places where an inside voice is required. Muzzy does just that: it mutes your Mac as soon as it detects that the audio jack is no longer connected.
Ultimate Emoji helper: Rocket
Whether you type an email, or an instant message on your Mac, finding the right Emoji is never as easy as it is on your iPhone. With Rocket, you can find Emoji’s quickly and easily, from within the body of your message, through an active dropdown menu that lets you search Emoji’s by keyword.
Manage your social (networking) life with Franz
Franz is a great app that lets you connect to multiple instant messengers, including Facebook’s, WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Hangouts, quickly and all within the same interface.
