If you're talking about Cleanshot X ( https://cleanshot.com/ ), I'm using that multiple times a day for providing support on Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi/ ) and my other apps through: - annotated s

Too bad it doesn't have Wi-Fi. Back when Apple Silicon appeared and DDC wasn't working anymore with the old methods [0] I tried creating a DDC-over-WiFi board using ESP32 + spliced HDMI cable with the I²C wires connected for Lunar

Yes, I use it alongside Raycast. File search and acting on files is a lot more intuitive in Alfred, and the default results are tweaked to my needs so I usually don’t even need to activate a workflow. I just ⌘ space and search for an app&#x

Maybe rely on people that have done the tinkering already. For example after trying multiple SSGs, I eventually settled on the simplest combination for me: Caddy with markdown files Wrote about it here: https://notes.alinpanaitiu

Of course, the OS is not without its problems. That could be related to a macOS bug where the I/O registry view of an app gets stuck, which appeared recently in Ventura and latest Monterey. But that usually is fixed by restarting Lunar

In my experience DDC was always flaky. I've started working with DDC a bit more than 5 years ago, but I've talked to people that did this both on Windows and Linux and they had the same experiences. Most of the time it's not

In case you or anyone else needs to disable the MacBook screen and still use the mic, camera, keyboard, trackpad etc. I added a feature called BlackOut in my Lunar app that can do that ( https://lunar.fyi/#blackout ). This al

I've gone back to using a thin waxed paper (like the ones you find in shoe boxes) between the keyboard and the screen when closing the lid. It's a bit annoying, but I'm sick of getting delamination after 1 year. I got this

Maybe try my Lunar app ( https://lunar.fyi/ ) if you’re on macOS. It can switch inputs using DDC if the monitor implements the VCP code for it, and it can assign a hotkey and a specific brightness/contrast for the input

Application support files are still new files that get created from scratch, not moved from the application bundle. It’s possible there’s misunderstanding in what we both consider application files. Anything that exists in the AppName.app b

Those aren’t app files, they are user configuration files. They can’t be created inside the app bundle because the app is signed, and any modification will invalidate the signature. There’s also the matter of permissions, some apps may be i

I never had macOS remove those files automatically when dragging the app to the trash. I still have files left from 4 MacBooks ago (for apps I haven’t installed in a long time) because I’m always migrating the home folder. I guess they’re

Second that, I love Frida! I recently wrote about how I used it to reverse engineer the MacBook’s clamshell mode, and add it in Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi ) There’s a few extra steps in allowing Frida to work on macOS so leaving th

I was also using Karabiner to launch/switch apps instantly but I got tired of editing large configs to add/remap keys to apps. Eventually I wrote rcmd ( https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd ) to streamline this workflow of

I listened to the Bach demo and it’s interesting that I can actually hear the “bends”. I find the sound pleasant after I the sound has stabilized and I forget about the bend, but for those few milliseconds when the bend happens, it sounds l

Hammerspoon is needed because App Store apps are sandboxed and can't focus specific windows, can't run arbitrary scripts and AppleScripts. What that gives you is the ability to map Right Option+letter to specific windows or tabs

Thanks! That "Shortcuts" page is still WIP, I hoped to launch it the same day I released the update but life happened. No, Lunar doesn't have that snapshot functionality because it's really hard to make it work for every

Lunar's BlackOut feature can do that: https://lunar.fyi/pro#blackout The feature is especially useful if you want to turn them off in software and keep them still connected to the Mac so that you can turn them on at a
