I switched to Mac a little over a year ago, and it’s been great! However, I’m missing one thing from Windows: these text suggestions. Is there an app that provides a similar feature for Mac?

My alternative to MacUpdater

With MacUpdater seemingly on its last few months, I was looking for an alternative. I found a few via this subreddit, however fancied a challenge.

Move everything to Brew and have my own update notifications
So I created 3 noscripts which won't be for everyone, however sharing is caring and all that.


I'm aware there are lots of better apps out there, this is just my way of resolving my problem.


brew\_app\_installer.sh \- This scans all the installed applications on your Mac and checks if they are installed with brew already, if not can brew install it, and if a direct replacement can't be found, lists alternatives. Once you've run thorough this process it creates a noscript to replace all the non brew apps with brew installed apps.

brew_reinstall.yml - Scans your brew installed apps and creates an ansible playbook to reinstall them if you need to reinstall your mac.

brew\_updates.1h.sh \- Works with the Swiftbar app, to put an icon in the taskbar which notifies you if there are updates for any brew apps.

The repo is here:

Can't buy Sidebar license...

Anyone having issues getting a Sidebar license?

I'm aggravated because I lost my Sidebar when it wouldn't let me buy the license from within the program. Now I got to reset everything ... what a pain!!!

What app for this use case? (desktop / notes / to-dos / links related)

Hey folks. I've had some long-standing habits related to my desktop and I'd like to get some app / service suggestions me think and organize a bit differently. Steer clear of subnoscriptions please.

* At some point long ago, I started keeping simple to-do type notes on my desktop by just naming empty folders. Easy to colour code, move around, and to delete. Not bad actually, but it can occasionally get out of hand.
* I also like to keep a few interesting links handy in the dock (topical stuff, some just for a few mins, some to read later, etc), but sometimes I find myself with too many links in the dock and just bury them in a folder for when I really do need them (or want to search across them).
* I also have a number of text files on my desktop that I access a lot, which I also keep on my desktop. Stuff that's better there than a web link that could vanish. Also stuff that a simple named folder is too small for. Still though, frequently access useful stuff.

I feel like there's probably a couple of apps out there that can smash all these things together... while keeping the quick access, regular usage, quick to delete, highly visible nature of these little habits I've developed.

Ready for some ideas and to open my mind on how I manage this stuff. Many thanks :)

Any tutorials on the Acorn image app?

I licensed it, want to learn more - and how to use it when I don't want to launch Pixelmator Pro to do simple editing.
