![]() It's really easy to open up a file there, like HTML file, and edit what's on the server. So it allows me to have what looks like a little finder window with my server files on it and I can drag and drop into and out of that to work with things on the server. Speaking of websites, in order to communicate with websites a FTP app is useful. I primarily use that when I'm working with HTML, CSS, or JAVAscript for websites. Now I also use BBEdit which is kind of a high end pro level text editor. But I also like something called CotEditor or coteditor. So I play around a lot with text editing apps. Every episode of MacMost that I create has a little text file that goes along with it that has title and description and key words and other things in there. I'm always creating small text files for little notes. I do like working with text files though. Those were always created in Word so teams using different types of computers could work with them. But I don't use it as often as I used to when I used to write books that got published in stores. I'll keep paying the subscription fee because it's worth it every once in awhile when I have to work with a Word document or something. I occasionally need to use Word and Excel. So I'm always creating little spreadsheets and doing little things in Numbers. To crunch numbers, work with statistics, and things like that. Numbers, however, I do actually use frequently. But it's the only presentation software I really use. Keynote, I'll make presentations every once in awhile for maybe User Groups or maybe a little something for one of my videos. But I really don't have much use for writing longer documents now. If I'm going to write something that's longer than just a few paragraphs I'm probably going to do it in Pages. Now how about Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. I'm an Apple Music user so of course I'm using the Music app on my Mac to listen to songs and I can't do that, of course, when I'm recording but for the rest of the day if I'm working on apps and websites and other things I usually have music playing. I just like typing on the keyboard rather than using my phone.Īnother app I usually have open is the Music app. I know a lot of people prefer to do that on their phones but if I'm sitting at my desk I want to be able to communicate whether it's through iMessage or SMS using the Messages app on my Mac. I use that to communicate with other people. It's kind of buggy and it could work a lot better.Īnother app I constantly have open all day long is Messages. I like them all but probably Reminders is the one that I really wish Apple would pay some more attention to. ![]() I get tons of email everyday.įor Productivity apps I just use the ones that come with the Mac. ![]() I manage my emails easily in there and that's the only email app I Use. It's a nice environment to be able to compose emails. I know some people prefer other things but I need the kind of app that can handle both iCloud and other types of email accounts. That means when I'm browsing in Safari I'm not logged into Goggle. So, I'm only logged into Goggle in Chrome and only manage my YouTube account there. If you're logged into Goggle then everywhere you go Goggle is going to be able to track you. I do occasionally use Chrome mostly to manage my YouTube account because you see in order to manage your YouTube account you need to be logged into Goggle. It's always open and running with several taps. It's fast and efficient and it syncs up with all of the other Apple devices I've got. I primarily use Safari as my web browser. So after decades of using the Mac and using it every single day here are the apps that I use.įirst let's start with the web browser. I make these tutorials but also I develop apps, websites, and I do all of the things that everybody does on their Macs like manage my photos, I check my email, I use Messages, I schedule events on Calendar. I do a lot of different things with my Mac and I use it all day long. Now I'm often asked which apps I use on my Mac.
