Keyboard Maestro on Mac: Five Automations That Replace Daily Busywork
Keyboard Maestro on Mac: Five Automations That Replace Daily Busywork

Keyboard Maestro on Mac: Five Automations That Replace Daily Busywork

Keyboard Maestro gets described as an app that can automate almost anything on a Mac. That is accurate, but it isn't a useful starting point. A blank macro editor with hundreds of actions can turn into a weekend project before it saves a minute.A better starter setup is five narrow macros, each tied to a task you already repeat. The goal isn't to build a second operating system. It is to remove the little sequences where you open the same folder, copy the same fields, or prepare the same draft every day.As of September 3, 2026, Keyboard Maestro 11.1.1 is the current version shown on the official site. A new version 11 license costs US$36 plus tax, with no subscription, and a version 11 license can be used indefinitely. The current upgrade price is US$25. Licensing is per user for up to five Macs. Version 11 requires macOS 10.13 or later and runs natively on Apple silicon. The current release notes include fixes for Tahoe and later, so this is still maintained software rather than an abandoned macro utility.Do the boring setup firstMove Keyboard Maestro into Applications with Finder, then enable its Engine at login. The editor only needs to be open while changing macros, but the background Engine has to run for triggers to work.Most of the useful system-control features require Accessibility permission for both Keyboard Maestro and Keyboard Maestro Engine. On modern macOS, Input Monitoring can also affect keyboard triggers if either component appears in that permission list. Grant access deliberately in System Settings, Privacy & Security.Do not grant every other permission just because it is available. None of the five macros below needs Screen Recording because none relies on screen capture or image matching. Full Disk Access is only relevant if a macro must reach protected locations. A watched folder inside Documents may instead produce a narrower Files and Folders request. Browser control has its own setup, covered below.Create one macro group called Daily Busywork, but do not leave every macro globally active. Limit form macros to the relevant browser, email macros to the email app, and typed triggers to compose windows where possible. Application launch triggers are the exception: the official documentation warns that a launch-triggered macro can miss the event if its group only becomes active after the target app has launched.1. One hotkey that opens a project's working setThis is the safest first macro because it doesn't click anything or modify data.Use a hotkey such as Control-Option-P. Add a Prompt With List action containing the small set of active projects. Route each choice through a Switch/Case block, then:Activate the main application for that project.Open its working folder in Finder.Open the brief or notes file.Open the relevant task-board or reference URL.Keyboard Maestro's Activate a Specific Application action launches the app if needed. Keep window placement out of this macro unless there is a real need for it. Built-in macOS tiling already handles basic placement, while file paths and URLs are much less likely to break when a display is disconnected.The maintenance rule is simple: one branch per project, and no more than four or five actions in a branch. Before opening a file, add a condition that it exists. If it does not, show an alert instead of letting the rest of the macro stumble onward. When a project ends, remove its branch.2. A guarded handoff when an export finishesDo not point this at Downloads and try to invent a full filing system. Make a dedicated folder such as Documents/Ready for Review, then use a Folder trigger that runs when an item is added directly to that folder.Keyboard Maestro can wait for a copied or downloaded file to stop changing, and the folder trigger passes the new item's full path as its trigger value. Build the actions in this order:Continue only if the extension is one your workflow expects, such as PDF or MP4.Show the detected filename in a confirmation prompt.Ask for a short project code.Build a dated destination name while preserving the original extension.Use the File action to rename the item, then reveal it in Finder.Keep the confirmation. An automatic folder trigger has no judgment, and a broad match will eventually catch a temporary file or the wrong export. The File action also fails if its destination already exists rather than silently overwriting it, which is a useful safety boundary. There is no reason to add a permanent-delete action here.One limitation matters: the Folder trigger watches items added directly to the chosen folder, not changes buried in subfolders. That is fine for a deliberately flat handoff folder and a poor fit for policing an entire directory tree.3. Open reference material when a work app launchesSuppose opening an invoicing app is always followed by opening the current month's receipts folder and a tracking spreadsheet. Use an Application trigger set to Launches, followed by two Open File, Folder or Application actions.Use Launches, not Is Running. The latter fires once and then periodically while the app remains open, which is unnecessary for a one-time companion routine. Put this macro in a group that is active before the invoicing app launches, then add conditions so it does not reopen documents that are already available.This pattern also works for a video editor plus an assets folder, a writing app plus a style guide, or an IDE plus a local documentation page. It should not become an app-launch Rube Goldberg machine. If the companion files change constantly, prompt for the current project or use the explicit project hotkey from the first macro instead.4. Fill a repetitive web form, but stop before submissionA weekly time-entry form is a good example. Put the macro in a group active only in Safari or Chrome and give it a hotkey. First use Prompt for User Input to collect the project, date, hours, and note. Menu fields work well for values such as project or work type because they prevent spelling variants.Then use Keyboard Maestro's Browser Form actions to set the corresponding fields. Finish by focusing the final field or displaying a review notification. Do not add Submit Form until the workflow has proved boringly reliable, and even then a manual submit is usually the better trade.There is real setup friction here. Keyboard Maestro Engine needs Automation permission to control the browser, and Safari or Chrome must allow JavaScript from Apple Events. Some sites generate changing field identifiers or rebuild their pages regularly, so a previously working field action can stop matching. Treat that as a reason to leave submission manual, not as an invitation to replace every field with coordinate clicks.Never put passwords, one-time codes, card details, or other secrets in this macro. A password manager should continue to own credentials.5. Generate a reviewable email draft from a small formCreate a Client follow-up draft macro with a hotkey that is active only in Apple Mail. Use Prompt for Snippet to ask for the contact name, project, promised date, and the few lines that actually change. The rest of the message stays in the template.Pass that result into Send Mail Message with create new message and leave open selected. Populate the subject from the same project and date variables. The macro should prepare the message, not send it.Keyboard Maestro's mail action works only with Apple Mail. Its body field is plain text, and it directly supports one attachment. Anyone who needs a rich signature, multiple attachments, or Outlook-specific behavior is better off generating the text and pasting it into an existing compose window instead.A typed-string trigger can make this feel quick, but choose something hard to enter accidentally, such as ;followup;, and scope it to a Mail compose window. Keyboard Maestro's documentation specifically warns that common strings can fire unexpectedly. A plain hotkey is safer if there is any doubt.The part that keeps these macros workingUI automation fails when it assumes the Mac is ready after an arbitrary delay. Prefer an application, window, or file condition and Pause Until over a fixed two-second pause. Prefer named menu items and browser fields over pixel coordinates. If a macro still fails, Keyboard Maestro includes a debugger that can step through actions, inspect recently changed variables, and write details to its Engine log.Keep any imported macros disabled until their actions have been inspected. A macro can run scripts, move files, control apps, and send data, so an impressive forum download deserves the same caution as any other executable automation.Multi-Mac sync also needs restraint. Keyboard Maestro sync is all or nothing, works between identical app versions, and can lose changes when two Macs edit before the sync file catches up. The documentation specifically warns that iCloud Drive can be slow here. Only macros sync, not preferences, variables, or clipboards. Exporting a known-good group before enabling sync is a sensible recovery point.Why not just use Shortcuts or Automator?For a one-shot Finder transformation, a Share Sheet action, or an app that exposes good native actions, start with Apple's built-in Shortcuts app. Automator still supports custom workflows and Finder Quick Actions, and existing Automator workflows can be imported into Shortcuts. Those tools cost nothing and may also fit better when a workflow should run across Apple devices.Keyboard Maestro earns its place when the missing piece is a Mac event trigger, an app-specific hotkey, controlled UI interaction, or a sequence spanning several apps that do not expose matching Shortcuts actions. It is not automatically the right tool for every automation merely because it can be made to do the job.The conditional verdict is straightforward: the US$36 version 11 license makes sense for someone who can name several recurring Mac chores lik

The prompt technique that fixed my biggest ChatGPT annoyance: every new chat starts from zero
The prompt technique that fixed my biggest ChatGPT annoyance: every new chat starts from zero

The prompt technique that fixed my biggest ChatGPT annoyance: every new chat starts from zero

You spend two hours in a chat working out a plan. A week later you need to build on it, the old chat is too long to continue, and the new chat has no idea any of it happened. Memory sometimes surfaces bits of it, but you cannot choose what it remembers, and half the time the bit you need is the one it skipped.Here is what I do instead, and the manual version works with nothing installed.Manual version. Go to the old chat and send this:Summarize everything we decided in this conversation as a briefing for a new chat that has no memory of it. Include the goal, the decisions made, the constraints, anything still open, and the exact wording of any final text we agreed on. Skip the back and forth.Copy the answer. In the new chat, start your prompt with "Context from a previous conversation:" and paste it, then write what you actually want.The prompt itself is the important part. Asking for "a summary" gives you a summary. Asking for a briefing for a chat with no memory makes it write for a reader that knows nothing, which is exactly the situation.Automated version. I got tired of doing that dance five times a day, so I built it into AI Toolbox, a browser extension I work on. You type @@ in the composer, a list of your past chats appears, you pick one, and its content goes in as context, pasted whole if it is short, summarized if it is long. The rest of your prompt goes after it as usual. Free plan allows 3 of these a day, the paid one lifts the cap, and it works the same on Claude, Gemini and Grok.The prompts I combine it with most:Using the plan in [old chat], write the first draft of the launch email.Compare what we decided in [chat A] against [chat B] and list every contradiction.Continue the coding session in [old chat] from where we stopped, same conventions.With @@ the bracketed parts are the picked chats; with the manual version you paste the briefings in their place.If you want the automated version, the extension is called AI Toolbox. Beyond @@ it adds folders and subfolders to the sidebar, search inside message text, bookmarks on individual replies, a // prompt library with fill-in blanks, and export of any chat as text, Markdown, JSON or PDF, on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok. Free plan to try it, no link here, it is easy to find.How do you carry work between chats? I keep hearing about people keeping one master project chat for everything, and I do not understand how that does not fall apart.

ChatGPT Power User Guide 2026 — Advanced Tips That Actually Work

Most ChatGPT guides are still teaching 2023 habits on a 2026 platform. GPT-4o is retired. o3 is retired. You're running GPT-5 now (Instant / Thinking / Codex). This guide covers what actually works today — prompting, features, and token efficiency. No fluff.⚡ PICK THE RIGHT MODEL FIRSTModelUse ForGPT-5.5 InstantWriting, emails, summaries, quick Q&AGPT-5.5 ThinkingHard reasoning, math, debugging, strategyGPT-5.3 CodexAutonomous coding, multi-file dev tasksUsing Thinking for simple tasks = slow + wastes quota. Using Instant for hard logic = confident hallucinations.🧠 PROMPTING — FOUNDATION1. Write a Brief, Not a Prompt❌ Bad (vague, wastes tokens on clarification):Write me a marketing email.✅ Good (token-efficient brief):Role: Senior B2B copywriter, 12+ yrs SaaS experience, specializes in conversion copy and enterprise sales cycles.Task: Cold email to book a product demo.Audience: HR Directors at 200–500 person companies.Format: Subject line + 3 paragraphs, max 160 words.Avoid: Bullet points, "synergy", "game-changer", opener compliments.**Formula → Role + Expertise + Task + Audience + Format + Constraints**One good brief = better output in fewer tokens than 3 rounds of back-and-forth.---### 2. Expert Role Prompting — Qualify the SkillsMost people write `"Act as a doctor"`. That's weak. The model needs to know *what kind* of expert and *how deep*.**Template:**textYou are a [title] with [X] years of experience in [specific domain]. You have deep expertise in [sub-speciality]. You have [specific credentials/background]. You approach problems by [method/framework].Examples:Medical:You are a board-certified internal medicine physician with 18 years of clinical experience, including 6 years as a hospitalist. You specialize in diagnostic reasoning and evidence-based medicine. You cite current clinical guidelines (AHA, USPSTF, UpToDate) and flag when a finding warrants specialist referral.Legal:You are a corporate attorney with 15 years specializing in SaaS contracts and IP law. You've advised Series A–C startups. You flag jurisdictional nuances, identify common red-flag clauses, and always note when something requires jurisdiction-specific counsel.Finance:You are a CFA charterholder with 20 years in equity research and portfolio management. You use DCF, comps, and scenario analysis. You always distinguish between what data supports vs. what is speculative.Dev/Coding:You are a senior software engineer with 12 years building production-grade Node.js/TypeScript systems. You prioritize readability, performance, and security. You always flag edge cases, write tests, and mention breaking changes.This single upgrade produces dramatically more precise, nuanced outputs.3. Negative Constraints > Positive InstructionsTell it what NOT to do. This is more token-efficient and more reliable than over-describing what you want.Do not use bullet points.No preamble or opener.Don't summarize at the end.Avoid passive voice.No longer than 200 words.Don't start with "Certainly" or "Great question".Stack 3–5 per prompt. Constraints cut output bloat and reduce your need to re-prompt.4. "Ask Me Questions First"Add this before any complex task:Before you start, ask me 3 clarifying questions that would help you produce a better output.Why it works: surfaces assumptions early, fills context gaps, eliminates re-prompting. One extra message saves 3–4 correction rounds. Best for: briefs, plans, landing pages, code architecture, long-form writing.5. Multi-Pass > One-ShotStop expecting a perfect single output. Work in rounds:Pass 1 → "Give me a tight outline only."Pass 2 → "Write section 2 in full. Tone: direct, no fluff."Pass 3 → "Add a real-world example to paragraph 3."Pass 4 → "Tighten the whole thing to 75% of current length."Each pass is a small, focused token request. Total cost is lower than one massive prompt + correction loop.6. Token-Efficient Prompting RulesBe specific, not long. A 40-word precise brief beats a 200-word vague one.Reference, don't repeat. After sharing context once, use "using the above" or "based on what we discussed".Request compressed outputs. End prompts with: Be concise. Cut anything that doesn't add value.One task per prompt. Combining tasks produces longer, lower-quality outputs.Use symbols as shorthand. → for flow, // for separation, [] for fill-in slots. Saves tokens on explanation.7. Few-Shot (Show Don't Tell)Pattern-matching beats description. Instead of describing a tone:Here are 2 examples of the writing style I want:[Example 1][Example 2]Now write a third in the same style about [topic].Works for: copy style, code style, report format, email tone. Use your own past writing or published samples you admire.8. Steelman Prompting (Adversarial Analysis)Skip the validation loop. Get real analysis in one exchange:Here is my plan: [X].Give me the 3 strongest reasons this will fail. Be specific, not generic.Then steelman the best case for why it succeeds despite those risks. No softening. No "it depends."More useful than asking "what do you think?" which produces agreeable non-answers.9. Reverse-Engineer Great OutputsFind an output (ad, article, email, code) you think is excellent. Paste it and ask:What prompt template would produce this? Make it reusable with [brackets] for variables.Fastest way to build a personal prompt library from real examples instead of theory.10. Structured / JSON OutputWhen piping output into tools or workflows:Respond ONLY in valid JSON. No preamble, no markdown, no fences.Schema: { "title": string, "tags": string[], "summary": string, "priority": "high"|"medium"|"low" }Also works for tables, CSV, XML. Be explicit about schema — ambiguous requests produce inconsistent structure.⚙️ FEATURES — USE THESE OR YOU'RE LEAVING VALUE ON THE TABLE11. Custom Instructions — Set Once, Works ForeverSettings → Personalization → Custom InstructionsWrite a global brief that loads automatically in every chat:I am a [role]. I prefer [response style]. Skip preambles and openers. Never summarize at the end. When recommending tools, include the current version. Default to [language/framework] for code.5 minutes of setup. Eliminates re-stating context in every conversation. Massively reduces token waste per session.12. Projects — Persistent Workspaces (Most Ignored Feature)Projects (left sidebar) = persistent system prompt + file library + memory, loaded automatically in every conversation inside that project.Set up one project per:Client or accountBusiness you runActive codebase (load your docs, stack, conventions)Research topic (load sources, notes, scope)Not a folder. A living workspace where context never resets.13. Memory — Feed It, Don't Just Leave It OnMemory stores facts across sessions but most people treat it as passive. Use it actively:Remember: My company sells B2B SaaS. My audience is non-technical ops managers. I always want responses under 200 words unless I ask for more.Audit it: Settings → Personalization → Memory. Delete stale entries. Bad memory = consistently off-base outputs. Good memory = saved setup tokens on every single session.14. Deep Research — Use It Right or Waste Your QuotaBrowses and synthesizes dozens of sources into a cited report. Takes 5–30 minutes. Replaces hours of tab-switching.How to prompt it well:❌ Research content marketing strategies.✅ Compare content marketing ROI across B2B SaaS companies with <50 employees vs 50–200 employees. Focus on: organic SEO vs LinkedIn vs email. Include data from 2024–2026. Prioritize original studies over blog aggregators.Interrupt mid-research if it's drifting — don't wait for the full wrong reportRestrict to trusted sources via MCP connectors (Settings → Apps)Follow up inside the same Project to go deeper without losing contextQuota: Plus = 10/month, Pro = 250/month, Free = 5/month.15. Agent Mode — Delegate Tasks, Not Just QuestionsGives ChatGPT a real browser + terminal. It clicks, scrolls, fills forms, downloads files, and interacts with connected apps.Prompting Agent Mode:Goal: [End state you want, not step-by-step instructions]Constraints: Do not submit any form without showing me a preview first. Do not make purchases. Stop if you hit a login wall and ask me.Let it figure out the steps. Your job is to define the destination and the guardrails.Best for: competitive research, form filling, multi-step web workflows, GitHub/Gmail/Drive tasks via connected apps.16. Tasks — Scheduled Prompts (Paid Plans)Set a prompt to run automatically on a schedule, no babysitting required.Examples:Every Monday 8am → summarize top industry news into a 5-bullet briefEvery Friday → compile this week's commits and draft a team update1st of month → pull project notes and generate a status reportWhere: Sidebar → Tasks. Plus/Pro only.17. Native App Connectors (60+)Connect Google Drive, GitHub, Slack, Dropbox, Gmail, and 55+ more. Reference your actual data instead of copy-pasting:Pull the latest version of Q3-Report.xlsx from Google Drive and identify the top 3 cost centres.Check connector permissions before enabling — some take actions, not just read data.🎯 EXPERT PROMPT TEMPLATES (COPY-PASTE READY)Medical / Health:You are a board-certified physician with 15+ years clinical experience in [specialty]. Cite current guidelines. Flag anything requiring in-person assessment. Be precise, not cautious to the point of uselessness.Legal:You are a practicing attorney with 12+ years in [law area]. Jurisdiction: [country/state]. Flag clauses that create liability, identify missing protections, and always note when local counsel is essential.Finance / Investment:You are a CFA with 20 years in [equity/VC/real estate]. Analyze using [DCF/comps/scenario modelling]. Separate what data supports from what is assumed. Include downside risk.Copywriting:You are a direct-response copywriter with 10+ years writing for [industry]. You've generated [X] in revenue from email campaigns. Write copy that converts, not

Custom format for specific indexers?

A large chunk of my library are files from trackers that I'm no longer part of, especially FNP which has shut down. I dislike having hundreds of movies just sitting on my drive, not being part of the seedsize for trackers I care much more about. Is there a way to prioritize grabbing movies from specific Indexers using custom formats, so that radarr will replace any files from the old indexers that have equivalent versions on other trackers? Similar to how it works with release groups. I know you can prioritize indexers, but afaik that only applies when radarr tries grabbing a missing movie? Adding indexers as a custom format seems like a pretty basic feature, but I haven't been able to find anything about it. No native custom formats in the app or any online that I can import.

I criticized someones SOUL.md so heres mine
I criticized someones SOUL.md so heres mine

I criticized someone’s SOUL.md, so here’s mine

someone shared their SOUL.md and I was probably a bit of a dick about it: I pointed out what I thought was wrong, but didn’t offer anything useful in return.so, partly out of guilt and partly because it might help someone, here’s the SOUL.md I use for my default Hermes profile.it’s been stable for a few weeks now, after roughly four months of daily tweaking. Some of you may hate it: it’s pretty short, and it includes a few things many people probably wouldn’t put in a SOUL.md. mine contains no operational information, because I don’t think that’s what it’s for. I keep that kind of material in skills, project-specific AGENTS.md files, and wikis.still, maybe there’s something in it you can steal, adapt, or argue about.# Role and ScopeYou are Robespierre, a motivated and helpful AI agent. You live 24/7 inside a mac mini m4 with 16GB of RAM and you where created by the NousResearch team as ‘Hermes agent’. [REDACTED] is the user that interact with you, never forget it. # Tone and StyleKeep your text output brief and direct. Lead with the answer or action, not the reasoning. Skip filler words, preamble, and unnecessary transitions. Do not restate what the user said — just do it. ALWAYS stop and communicate when:- Decisions that need the user's input or requires the user to choose a preference- High-level status updates at natural milestones- Errors or blockers that change the planYou have a tone. Even the length of your answers has a meaning: if you can say it in one sentence, don't use three. You are not easily surprised or discouraged.Match responses to the task: a simple question gets a direct answer in prose, not headers and numbered sections. While keeping communication clear, also keep it concise, direct, and free of fluff. Avoid filler or stating the obvious. Don't overemphasize unimportant trivia about your process or use superlatives to oversell small wins or losses.When you run out of context, the tool automatically compacts the conversation. That means time never runs out, though sometimes you may see a summary instead of the full thread. When that happens, you assume compaction occurred while you were working. Do not restart from scratch; you continue naturally and make reasonable assumptions about anything missing from the summary. Have fun.

Apple created macOS to be simple. I created FinderTools to make it powerful. (20-in-1 Native Finder Extension)

Apple created macOS to be simple. I created FinderTools to make it powerful. (20-in-1 Native Finder Extension)

https://reddit.com/link/1tu75oi/video/9p3ucliqsq4h1/playerPurpose: A 100% native system extension that integrates directly into Finder, adding 20+ missing power-user features (Secure Erase, Fast FTP, Advanced Batch Image/PDF editing, True Cut & Paste, Deep App Uninstaller, etc.) without cluttering your menu bar. Cost: Lifetime License (One-time purchase for 3 Macs). 50% off for r/macapps with code First100. Platform: macOS 13.0+ (Native Swift / Apple Silicon & Intel)Apple created macOS to be simple. I created FinderTools to make it powerful.FinderTools is a lightweight, 100% native system extension with no external APIs that integrates seamlessly into your Mac, bringing back the advanced features you've always wanted (and been missing from Linux or Windows). Stop downloading dozens of dubious apps into your menu bar.Get the ultimate 20-in-1 toolkit in one seamless integration.🔥 What you get:🔍 NEW! Folder Compare Studio: Right-click to instantly compare two or more directories. Using a multi-threaded asynchronous engine, it leverages native macOS binary analysis and Swift differencing algorithms to instantly highlight missing files and byte-level changes in even large directories. Dive deeper with the code compare window to pinpoint exact line-level changes, use advanced filtering to apply smart exclusions via regular expressions/globs, and export the entire analysis to a CSV, Markdown or PDF report.🚀 NEW! Enhanced Copy to and Move to: I used to love dual-pane file managers, but they ended up taking too much screen space and were resource-hungry. After all, you use panes 90% of the time just for moving files, right? Why drag and drop files across multiple panes? FinderTools now automatically detects all open Finder windows and active tabs. You can instantly send files to any active Finder location with a single click, completely eliminating the need to align windows or manually add temporary paths!🌐 NEW! Native FTP/SFTP client: How many times have you had to interrupt your workflow to upload files to your servers? I've implemented a fast FTP feature. You set your preferred remote paths once, and then... Select the files you want to upload > right-click > FTP/SFTP, and a popup will let you know the upload is complete. All right from Finder. It's also a great download client, so give it a try and let me know!⌨️ NEW! Instant Delete (Backspace): Say goodbye to the awkward Cmd+Backspace combo. Now you can move files to the Trash by simply pressing the Backspace or Delete key, exactly like on Windows.🔥 NEW! Secure Erase: Bypass the Trash Bin. Press Shift+Backspace/Del to physically obliterate highly sensitive files using forensically-proof zero-byte cryptographic overwriting and APFS UUID obfuscation.☁️ NEW! Cloud Share and Live Bridge: Securely share large files directly from your Mac to another via encrypted P2P. You can easily create bookmarks for recurring tasks; simply right-click the file/folder > Cloud Share > Send to Contact. You can also create one-time links to send to the recipient via your preferred method (chat, email, etc.). All this in your private iCloud space (without third-party servers!) in real time.📄 Create New File (Right-Click): Missing the Windows "New Document" menu? Just right-click anywhere to instantly create a Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, Text, or Script file. Or use the handy Cmd+Opt+N shortcut!👨‍💻 Open Terminal Here: Right-click on any folder (or press Cmd+Opt+T) to launch the Terminal exactly in your current path. No more typing cd commands.✂️ True Cut and Paste: Move files in Finder using the classic Cmd+X and Cmd+V shortcuts. No more fiddling with your keyboard.🧹 Deep Clean Uninstaller (Fuzzy Engine): Right-click any app to completely remove it from your Mac. Our Heuristic engine dynamically scans Caches, Preferences, and orphaned Daemons. Includes a System Shield to protect macOS core apps and a beautiful ZIP Backup feature before deletion.🖼️ Image Studio (AI) & Batch Editor: Right-click images to instantly remove backgrounds using Apple's built-in Vision AI. Launch the advanced editor to batch compress (20/50/80%) or convert hundreds of images at once (JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, RAW, SVG).📄 PDF Studio: Right-click to visually merge multiple PDFs via Drag&Drop, instantly extract text from scanned documents using AI OCR, or compress large PDF files directly from the Finder.🔴 Advanced RedQuitter (Whitelist & Blacklist): Save battery and RAM. FinderTools completely kills background applications as soon as you close the last window with the red "X". Features a Whitelist for your favorite apps (like Mail) and an aggressive Blacklist to force-kill stubborn apps (like Spotify or Discord).🗜️ Native Clean Archiving: Instantly compress or extract ZIP and TAR.XZ (multi-thread) files. FinderTools automatically cleans your archives from macOS junk files (.DSStore / _MACOSX) so they are 100% clean and compatible with Windows and Linux users.📊 Advanced Analytics & File Content Extraction: Replace the old "Get Info" window with a forensic dashboard showing Download Origins, true Unix permissions, MD5/SHA hashes, and deep EXIF/Codec data. Plus, right-click any text or log file (up to 10MB) to instantly copy its entire source code to your clipboard without even opening it!🧭 Cross-Platform Clipboard Navigation: Did a colleague send you a Windows network path (like C:\Projects or \Server)? Copy it to your clipboard and FinderTools will instantly translate and navigate to it on your Mac.🛠 The Stack & The Struggle (For the curious)Built 100% in Swift. The biggest nightmare was Apple's Sandbox. The FIFinderSync API is incredibly locked down. Because the extension is sandboxed, it can't execute powerful actions directly. I had to build a custom IPC (Inter-Process Communication) bridge using custom URL Schemes (findertools://action) to pass commands from the sandboxed extension to the main daemon, which then executes AppleScripts to simulate the GUI interactions. Keeping the idle CPU usage at 0.0% while doing all this took weeks of optimization.🛡️ Security Note: Since the app operates outside the Mac App Store to bypass those sandboxing limits, it is fully Notarized and Signed with my official Apple Developer account. Every release is strictly scanned by Apple's servers for malware before it can even run on your Mac.🔗 Where I am right nowI just released version 1.2.0 and I've split the app into two tiers so people can actually use the core stuff for free.The premium license is a one-time purchase (Lifetime, no subscriptions, valid for 3 Macs).If you want to check it out:Web: amastra.cc/findertoolsGumroad: Search "FinderTools" on Gumroad(🎁 For this sub: I've kept a coupon active. If you grab it on Gumroad, use the code First100 at checkout for 50% off forever).Let me know what you think or if you have any feature requests! I'll be hanging out in the comments.

Default Dock Customisation
Default Dock Customisation

Default Dock Customisation

Give your Dock new functionalityAs promised, this is the second part of the dock review obsession. This time, the focus is fully on apps that replace or enhance the default Mac dock while still working alongside it, meaning the original dock does not need to be hidden or disabled.The first four apps mentioned stand out. If you plan on keeping the standard Mac dock, these are the apps genuinely worth looking at.In typical software fashion, good ideas get copied quickly. But after testing many alternatives, there are clear leaders. Those are the apps I focused on here. The alternatives are listed below with short descriptions, including free options where available.There are already some excellent dock customisation apps available, but two features still seem strangely missing. The first is proper customisation of Apple’s own system icons. Iconchamp once had a workaround for this, but it no longer works under Mac Tahoe.The second is the ability to hide an app’s dock icon completely. Older versions of macOS handled this far better, but many modern apps now force their icons onto the dock with no option to remove them.After far too many terminal commands, plist edits, and strange experiments, I still have not found a proper solution. So if you know of one, please send me a message.DOCKFLOW: €9.99, 1-year planCrossed my path about a year ago, and at first, I genuinely didn’t understand what it was supposed to do. Dynamically swapping the Mac dock sounded more ambitious than practical, especially given how limited and stubborn the default dock is.Then I installed it, used it properly, and completely bought into the concept. After mentioning or reviewing it close to 22 times, I can honestly say I’m a big fan.This is one of those apps that feels like functionality Apple should have built into macOS from the start. In simple terms, DocFlow lets you change your dock depending on what you’re doing: a minimal setup at home, and with a single shortcut, a completely different dock at work with the apps and folders you actually need.The app has become popular enough that a wave of copycats followed, but once you use DocFlow properly, it’s obvious this isn’t just a basic utility thrown together overnight.If all you want is bare functionality with no shortcuts or customisation, there are free alternatives, and some even cost more than DocFlow. But if the idea interests you, try DocFlow itself first. I suspect you’ll understand the appeal almost immediately.PARALL: Once off Purchase fee of $9.99 on Mac Store,When the developer of Parall first reached out to ask my opinion on animated dock icons, not animated docks, but actual animated icons themselves, I honestly thought the idea sounded great but probably unrealistic. Especially when he also mentioned custom icon replacement and the ability to run multiple instances of the same app simultaneously. Knowing the limitations of the Mac dock, I did not think this would be easy to achieve.Imagine my surprise when I received an early demo version shortly afterwards. Even with a few teething problems at the time, it was already doing something genuinely different that the Mac dock had never really seen before.Several updates later, and the app has become incredibly stable, easy to install, and surprisingly fun to use. Once you have icons swinging side to side, spinning, bouncing, or reacting dynamically, you quickly realise how much personality it adds to the desktop experience. The app also allows you to customise the icons and install multiple instances of the same app, which is genuinely useful in certain workflows.It is unfortunate, however, that at this stage Apple’s own default icons, for the most part, cannot be animated or customised through the app.A lovely app from a developer who has been around for a long time and who clearly understands dock customisation. Definitely worth installing and testing.DOCKPOPS: Free version available or a purchase of $9.99Once again, this is an app I did not initially install with much excitement, but now genuinely cannot imagine my dock without it. The concept is simple. DockPops creates a single dock icon which, when hovered over or clicked, expands into a customizable collection of apps, folders, or shortcuts of your choice.So if, like me, you have a slight browser obsession or keep testing new agentic apps, this becomes incredibly useful. Instead of cluttering the dock with endless icons, you keep one clean icon that opens into everything you need instantly.For somebody who likes quick access without visual chaos, DockPops solves a problem I did not fully realise I had. It has become one of those apps that quietly earns a permanent place on my Mac.DOCKDOOR: FreeDockDoor is a free and open-source macOS app that adds proper live window previews directly to the dock. Hover over an app icon, and you immediately see all open windows for that app, allowing you to switch, manage, or close them quickly without breaking workflow.It also adds a Windows-style Option + Tab switcher with live previews, which surprisingly feels excellent on macOS once you get used to it. Fast, responsive, and very lightweight. The fact that it is free makes it even more impressive. The functionality is excellent, and it brings genuinely useful customisation to the standard Mac dock.That said, it is worth mentioning that DockDoor Pro is now available in pre-release directly from the developer’s website. It moves further away from the default dock experience, but the level of customisation already looks very promising and absolutely worth testing.AND THEN THERE ARE MANY MORE:𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐊: Another Dock gives you a second dock - elegant, efficient, and intuitive - without disrupting your current setup.𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐘: Dockey makes changing some of the more advanced Dock preferences as easy as clicking a button𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐊: IntelliDock hides the Dock when it’s overlapped by a window.

11 Claude things I wish someone had told me 12 months ago

Most "X tips" posts on this sub are surface level. here's the stuff that actually changed how I use claude after 18 months of daily use including 6 months in claude code.The Projects feature is doing more than you think. drop your codebase context, your style guide, your past PRs as project knowledge once. stop pasting the same context every chat. I wasted probably 100 hours before figuring this out.Custom Styles aren't a gimmick. I have one called "skeptical senior eng" that pushes back on my code instead of agreeing with everything. took 3 minutes to set up. single biggest output quality jump I've gotten.Memory is on by default now and it reads your past chats. if your responses suddenly feel weirdly personalized that's why. you can turn it off in settings. (freaked me out for like a week before I trusted it)Search past chats is hidden gold. I forget which chat had the working code. I just ask "what was the final auth setup we landed on last Tuesday" and it pulls it. saves me from scrolling.Sonnet 4.6 is faster than Opus 4.7 and 80% as good for most things. I default to Sonnet now and only switch to Opus for the gnarly architectural stuff. my limit complaints stopped.Haiku 4.5 is genuinely useful for batch work. need to clean 200 support tickets, draft 50 email replies, summarize 30 PDFs. Haiku. don't waste Opus tokens on Haiku tasks.The mobile voice mode is underrated for thinking out loud. I walk for 20 min, talk through a problem, then ask claude to summarize what I'm trying to figure out. solved more decisions on walks than in offsites.In claude code your CLAUDE.md is doing more work than the prompts. write 80 lines of project context once. stop re-explaining your stack every session.Skills > custom instructions for repetitive workflows. I have a skill that pulls the right docs based on what file I'm in. setup took an afternoon, pays off every day.Subagents in claude code unlock parallel work that mostly happens in your head. "spin off a subagent to run the test suite while I keep coding" is the move. most people don't use them at all.Artifacts can call the API now. you can build a working AI tool inside an artifact. people call it Claudeception. I made a client brief generator that calls Sonnet from inside an HTML artifact, took an hour. wild.if your claude output feels generic your prompt was generic. genuinely a skill issue. anyone got their own "took me way too long" list? drop yours below 👇

Claude Code vs Hermes + OpenCode: am I missing something?

I’m genuinely curious: why do people use Claude Code instead of something like Hermes Agent + OpenCode, which seems much cheaper? Claude Code is around $200/month, while this setup can be closer to $10/month.I’ve been using Hermes as my coding agent with OpenCode as the backend, currently with DeepSeek V4, and I’ve been pretty surprised by the quality and performance so far.Am I missing something obvious here? What makes Claude Code worth the extra cost for you?

A Decade On - Brian Morrison and The Western States 100 [Documentary]

This documentary tells the emotional and inspiring story of Brian Morrison, an ultrarunner who was DQ'd from the 2006 Western States under devastating circumstances. If you have any interest in ultrarunning or amateur filmmaking in running more generally, I highly recommend checking this out. Even if you know Brian's story already, the film is well worth your time. The filmmaker does incredible work to capture how remarkable this journey has been for Brian Morrison and his family. It's a must-watch if you're a fan of endurance sports or, more broadly, people rebounding from devastating disappointment and persisting against the odds.Video:A DECADE ON - Brian Morrison and The Western States 100

I asked Claude to teach me everything it knows about prompting. it gave me a curriculum. i followed it for 30 days.

I asked Claude to teach me everything it knows about prompting. it gave me a curriculum. i followed it for 30 days.

not a course. not a youtube series. not a reddit thread.i just asked directly:"if you were going to teach someone prompt engineering properly in 30 days — not surface level, not tips and tricks — what would the curriculum look like."what came back was the most organised learning plan i've ever received from any source paid or free.week one — foundations:day one through three: understand how the model actually processes input. not the technical architecture. the practical implications. why order matters. why context placement matters. why the same words in a different sequence produce different outputs.day four and five: the difference between instructions and context. most people give instructions. context is what makes instructions work. learning to separate them changed everything.day six and seven: output specification. not just asking for what you want. specifying format, length, tone, audience, and what done looks like. vague output spec produces vague output every time without exception.week two — thinking structures:chain of thought. not as a trick. as a genuine reasoning tool. understanding when forcing visible reasoning improves output and when it just adds length.few shot prompting done correctly. most people add examples randomly. placement, quantity, and diversity of examples all affect output in ways that aren't obvious until you test them deliberately.negative constraints. telling the model what not to do is consistently underused and consistently powerful. spent two days just on this.week three — advanced patterns:persona design. not "act as an expert." building actual character with specific knowledge, specific blind spots, specific ways of thinking. the specificity is everything.conversation architecture. designing multi turn interactions not single prompts. what information goes where. how to maintain context. how to checkpoint and verify before going deeper.uncertainty surfacing. prompting the model to show where it's confident versus where it's guessing. the most underused skill in practical prompt engineering.week four — applied and meta:task decomposition. breaking complex problems into prompt sequences where each output feeds the next. the difference between one prompt and a system.prompt auditing. taking existing prompts apart to understand why they work or don't. reverse engineering good outputs to find the input decisions that produced them.the final day: build one complete prompt system for a real recurring problem in your work. not an exercise. something you'll actually use.what i learned following it for 30 days:the curriculum itself was less valuable than the act of following it deliberately.most people learn prompt engineering by accident. they stumble on something that works. use it for a while. stumble on something better. never understand why either worked.deliberate structured learning over 30 days built intuition that accident never would have.by week three i wasn't following the curriculum anymore. i was seeing prompt problems differently. noticing failure modes before they happened. designing inputs around outputs instead of hoping the output matched what i needed.that shift doesn't happen from reading tips.it happens from doing the thing systematically until the pattern becomes instinct.the free resources i used alongside the curriculum:Anthropic's prompt engineering documentation. primary source. free. better than anything i paid for.DeepLearning.AI short courses. specifically the one on prompt engineering for developers and the one on building systems with ChatGPT.Simon Willison's blog archives. real world application from someone doing this seriously in public.fast.ai for the technical foundation that made everything else make more sense.Hugging Face course for understanding what's actually happening underneath.the thing nobody tells you about learning this properly:the skill compounds faster than almost anything else you can learn right now.week one feels slow. week two clicks. week three you start seeing problems differently. week four the intuition is there and you didn't notice it arriving.thirty days. one hour a day. completely different relationship with every AI tool you use after.what would you put in a 30 day prompt engineering curriculum that this one missed?

Want your local LLM to surf the web, have persistent memory, etc? Hermes

If you didnt go nuts with the OpenClaw agentic approach, theres a new agent that is causing major FOMO called Hermes. Its lighter on resources than OC and offers all the bells & whistles while being a bit safer. If you dont know how to set it up, you just ask Claude or Codex. say: Set up Hermes for me and point it at my local LLM. Once set up, you can do anything. Have fun.

I built a FREE prompt library after losing one too many good ChatGPT prompts (1000 prompts no paywall)
I built a FREE prompt library after losing one too many good ChatGPT prompts (1000 prompts no paywall)

I built a FREE prompt library after losing one too many good ChatGPT prompts (1,000+ prompts, no paywall)

Quick heads-up: this is a post about a free tool I built. I'm leading with that because I'd rather you know upfront than feel tricked halfway through.Like a lot of you, I was losing good ChatGPT prompts to old chats, random Google Docs, tweets that got deleted. And every time I went hunting for a new prompt for something specific, I'd either hit recycled Medium listicles or tools charging $20/mo for what should obviously be free.So I built PromptCreek a free prompt library. Here's what's in it:1,000+ prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Gemini, DeepSeek, GrokFilter by model and category so you actually find what you needSave your own private prompts, stop losing them to old chatsEvery prompt uses {{variables}} for infinite reusability, swap values and reuse (especially clutch for image prompts)1,200+ agent skills — packaged AI workflows you can install into Claude Code or Cursor with one command (npx add promptcreek skill-name) if you're into thatIt's 100% free. No paywall, no "premium tier coming soon", no credit card, no login needed to browse. Rather than tell you it's good, here are 2 of the prompts I use on a weekly basis in my work. Both are more structured than the typical "act as an expert" stuff, they're built like briefs.#1 SEO Content Calendar Generator (turns a keyword list into a 90-day publishing plan)# Role & ObjectiveYou are an SEO Content Strategist with 10+ years of experience in keyword research, content planning, and organic traffic growth. Your role is to transform raw keyword lists into actionable content calendars that drive search visibility and user engagement.# ContextThe user has a list of keywords (from tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Google Keyword Planner) and needs to convert this data into a strategic content calendar. They want to understand which keywords to target, how to group them into content themes, and when to publish for maximum SEO impact.# Inputs- Industry/niche: {{industry-focus}}- Content publishing frequency: {{publishing-frequency}}- Primary content goal: {{content-goal}}- Keyword list: (User will paste their keyword data below this prompt)# Requirements & Constraints- Tone: Strategic, data-driven, and actionable- Depth: Provide keyword clustering, content themes, and specific blog post ideas- Format: Structured calendar with publishing dates, topics, and SEO rationale- Focus: Balance high-volume keywords with long-tail opportunities- Assumption: User has basic SEO knowledge but needs strategic guidance# Output Format## Keyword Analysis Summary- Total keywords analyzed- Search volume distribution (high/medium/low)- Primary content themes identified- Competitive difficulty assessment## Content Theme Clusters### Theme 1: [Name]- Primary keywords: [list]- Supporting long-tail keywords: [list]- Content angle: [approach]- Estimated traffic potential: [range]## 90-Day Content Calendar### Month 1Week 1- Blog Post: [Title]- Target Keywords: [primary + 2-3 supporting]- Search Intent: [informational/commercial/navigational]- Publish Date: [specific date]- Content Brief: [2-3 sentence outline]## Quick Wins (Immediate Opportunities)1. [Low-competition, high-impact keyword opportunity]2. [Content gap in competitor landscape]3. [Trending topic alignment]# ExamplesExample Input:- Industry: Fitness coaching- Frequency: 2 posts per week- Goal: Lead generation- Keywords: "home workout routines, beginner fitness plan, weight loss tips" (50+ keywords)Example Output Would Include:- Theme clusters: Beginner Fitness, Home Workouts, Weight Loss- Calendar with specific post titles like "7-Day Beginner Fitness Plan for Busy Professionals"- Keyword targeting strategy for each post- Publishing schedule aligned with search trends# Self-CheckBefore finalizing your content calendar:- Have you grouped keywords by search intent and user journey stage?- Are publishing dates strategic (considering seasonality and competition)?- Does each blog post target a primary keyword plus 2-3 supporting terms?- Have you identified both quick wins and long-term authority-building content?- Is the calendar realistic for the specified publishing frequency?#2 PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solve) Copywriter (for social media and short-form content)You are a conversion copywriter specializing in psychological persuasion and social media content optimization.Your task is to create compelling {{content-format}} content about {{topic}} using the Problem-Agitate-Solve (PAS) framework.PAS FRAMEWORK:1. PROBLEM (First 20%) - Identify specific, relatable pain point - Make it concrete and visceral, not abstract - Use language your audience actually uses - Establish immediate relevance2. AGITATE (Middle 40%) - Amplify the problem's real consequences - Use {{agitation-style}} to deepen emotional connection - Paint picture of life with ongoing problem - Stack multiple dimensions of the pain - Create urgency around addressing it3. SOLVE (Final 40%) - Present clear, accessible solution - Show why this solution works when others fail - Provide proof, results, or social validation - Make next step obvious and easy - Address common objections preemptivelyAGITATION TECHNIQUES: - Cost amplification: "Every day this continues..." - Contrast: "While others are succeeding..." - Future projection: "In 6 months, you'll either..." - Emotional consequence: "The stress, the frustration..." - Opportunity cost: "Think of what you're missing..."GUIDELINES: - Balance agitation—motivate, don't manipulate - Make solution proportional to problem - Use specific examples over generalizations - Include proof points or testimonials - End with clear, low-friction CTAOUTPUT FORMAT:Provide complete script with clear section breaks, timing notes, visual suggestions, and caption/hashtag recommendations.Always ask questions if you don't have the full picture. NEVER make assumptions about the product, service, or specific audience pain points without clarifying first.On the roadmap (open to feedback on what to prioritize):Prompt forking: fork any prompt, modify it, share your version backChrome extension: waiting on DUNS paperworkPublic creator profiles: sort of a social layer for prompts, with badges etc.What would actually make you use something like this weekly? What categories or models are you wishing had better prompt coverage? Genuinely want to know, building this for people who'll actually use it.
