My Dock, as inspired by Reddit
Some of the people on the macOS Subreddit are sharing their docks and talking through what’s on them. I wanted to take part, but I really don’t like posting on Reddit, or any social media really (yes, Reddit IS social media, you can pretend it’s not, if you like.)
Here is the post, https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1d0gkjb/share_your_dock/
Anyway, in the spirit of the post, here is my dock!
- Finder (we all have this.)
- Safari (Don’t tell me to install arc! I like Safari, and it’s good on battery)
- Mail (Yes, I use the default macOS client. It’s fine.)
- Diarium (I like to journal things, nothing deep but purchases, health and headache updates and pictures I take with little explanations.)
- Things 3 (My task manager of choice.)
- Apple Calendar (Again, I like it. If there is a better one what syncs back to Apple AND doesn’t have a subscription, I’ll look at it.)
- Reeder 5 (RSS IS NOT DEAD!)
- GoodReads (I think, possibly the best ReadItLater service that has no subscription or limitations. I also use AnyBox but its for links for articles.)
- Apple New (I get my topical news from RSS but for general interest stuff and magazines, I like Apple News)
- UpNote (Update is a great, no subscription notes application. Honestly, I would prefer to just use apple notes, but i need something that works and syncs to windows, for work stuff. and no the apple notes web portal does not cut it, sadly.)
- GoodNotes 6 (I realise that two notes applications seems mad, but GoodNotes has no subscription and its awesome for hand written stuff, as well as marking up PDFs.)
- Scrivener (❤️ My current, long term writing partner.)
- Fade In Pro (I like it, honestly i would probably like some of the plotting tools in the new Final Draft application, buts its double the price of Fade In… and I already have Fade In.)
- Enchanted (I have been messing with Ollama as a local LLM and this is an okay interface for it.)
- Discord (I don’t like it, but it’s where the pals are.)
- eSword (Really nice bible referencing and research software. It’s great!)
- Apple Music (For synthwave and country music radio. ☺️)
- Activity Manager (My other favourite task manager.)
- Zavala (not pinned, currently messing with it, its for outlining things. Seems good)
- Obsidian (open because I’m writing this very post. Not usually there.)
I don’t know why, but I enjoyed typing this out 😁
