Backup Mac to a cloud service ☁️

Hey everyone,

Is there a way to backup (everything) on my Mac to a cloud service? I’m open to both free and paid options.

I’d really appreciate any help you can provide.

Alter vs Enconvo vs Elephas

Trying to choose my app to improve productivity.
I'm looking for trannoscriptions of recordings, a real-time translator, context from different apps like devonthink and obsodian, context from my local files including OCR for images.
Do any of these provide what I'm looking for? Or do I lose some?

Does HyperWhisper have audio and video trannoscription available?

I'm hoping somebody else out there can help me understand if HyperWhisper actually has audio and video trannoscription. As an example, if I wanted to transcribe a video I had, can I just drag and drop it onto HyperWhisper and have it transcribed? I've used MacWhisper and Spokenly in the past and it works that way where I can drag and drop a file and it'll automatically transcribe it for me. But wanted to see what other people's experience was and if it the feature was available or not.

Please recommend a Screens 5 alternative

I use screens 5 very rarely, but it is useful when I need it

Can someone recommend an alternative that is as easy to set up and use?

Thanks

Free, open-source menu bar app for killing processes on dev ports

Made a small utility to solve my own problem - constantly running lsof -i :3000 to find what's hogging my ports during development. It is the first time, I am shipping something. hope it is useful.



What it does:

\- Lives in your menu bar

\- Shows all processes on common dev ports (3000-3010, 8080, 5432, etc.)

\- One-click to kill any process

\- Detects Docker containers and Homebrew services

\- Shows which git project each process belongs to



Free, no ads, open source. Works on Intel and Apple Silicon.

Happy to take feature requests.

Details on that mega-sale of Daisy Disk, Houdahspot, CleanshotX, Default Folder X and more

It's always good to see a sale on popular, well established apps. Today through Friday, you can get a dozen quality Mac user favorites individually for half price or as a total package for $77. I've reviewed a few of these apps before and some of them i use every day. Check the links below to see the reviews.


- CleanShotX - $14.50 The go to screen shot app with over 50 features, useful if you are a blogger, need screenshots for work documents or deal with tech support regularly.
- Downie - 10 - Downie not only downloads from YouTube, Youku, Bilibili and Vimeo it can download from more than 1,000 sites with more being added bi-weekly. You can even write to the developer and request that a site be added and chances are he will act on it
- Daisy Disk - $5 - If you've ever had a case where seemingly large chucks of your hard drive were showing up as mysteriously in use, you can use Daisy Disk's power of scanning as an administrator to track down the culprit. Daisy Disk scans internal and external drives whether they are SSD or HDD
- Default Folder X - $20 - Most long-term Mac users have at least heard of if not used Default Folder X (DFX). The program traces its roots all the way back to DefaultD released in 1987. I've owned a copy since before I had Gmail since a search for my original purchase only turned up an upgrade offer from 2005 for $2.50! The program's purpose is to streamline and enhance finding, opening, saving and moving files and folders.
- Marked 2 - $7 - My recommendation to render and print Markdown files is Marked 2 by the great Mac developer, blogger and podcaster, Brett Terpstra. Marked 2 works with many different flavors of Markdown and is really great for developers writing GitHub documentation because it is capable of handling fenced code blocks, line break preservation and automatic hyperlinking. You can even get a spelling and grammar checker through IAP for Marked 2.
- HoudahSpot6 - $17 - A fast a very configurable utility offering hundreds of criteria, exportable results, featuring templates for reoccurring searches, like the one I do every Sunday for Markdown files created in the last seven days to import into Eagle Filer.
- Unclutter - $10 - he Mac utility Unclutter has been around for over a decade and is still going strong. Unclutter is three utilities built into one app: a universal clipboard manager, a convenient file shelf and a floating notes manager. I used it for years with rock solid performance. If you are on an underpowered Mac or one with limited RAM, you can use Unclutter to reduce the number of utilities running in the background without sacrificing functionality.
- Keysmith $27 - an automation app that works in any other app on your Mac to record actions you can later trigger from a menu or with a keyboard shortcut. I've been a Keyboard Maestro user for many years. I have over 800 macros within that application and a lot of experience using it, but after working with Keysmith for just a short while, I have to admit it makes some actions easier to record and activate. It's not a replacement for Keyboard Maestro, but it will certainly supplement it.

The remaining apps in the sale are:
- Bike Outliner - Structured & focused writing — think,

organize, write notes, lists, and documents fast.
- PopChar - Instantly find special characters, preview every font in detail, and take full control of your typography.
- Workspaces - Project-based launcher that opens your files, folders, websites, apps etc. with one click.
- Forklift -  Advanced dual pane file manager and file transfer client for macOS.
