Google Chrome recently launched a new Material Design theme. If you like it, you can also get it for Firefox with MaterialFox. MaterialFox works with all three color schemes in Firefox; default, light and dark. MaterialFox’s theme is so good, you can hardly tell the difference. Better yet, you still have Firefox under the hood. […]

How To Read Outlook .msg files on your Mac or Windows for free.
Back in the day I use to get winmail.dat files from Outlook and had to figure out how to open them. Now Outlook’s format changed to .msg but the issue remains; if you don’t have Outlook, you have no idea what to do with a .msg file. Good news, there is a relatively easy solution. […]
Fix Spotlight Search in iOS 11
When I updated to iOS 11 one of the first things I noticed was that search was broken. I would search for “Ama” and iOS would find Amazon Music but not the Amazon app. I could also search for “Shop” and it couldn’t find the Shopkick app. In these examples, they’d only show if I […]
TextNut Review – A Full Featured Markdown Editor for Mac
I’ve been looking for a new Markdown editor recently and I have stumbled upon TextNut. It’s a great markdown app with a lot of useful features! One of the first things I was really looking for was the ability to view all my files. I want to use an app that can replace Evernote, or similar notebook, […]
What’s the best all in one chat application for Mac?
One app for all your chat windows seems to be the new thing right now. I’ve tested out quite a few and most are lacking features or stability. Franz is probably the most popular. It’s built on Electron, it’s free, and works really well. That is until it starts crashing. Once this happens you need […]
Apple Music isn’t for me; yet.
I tried out Apple Music’s three-month trial and figured out it’s not for me at this time. The best part about Apple Music is being able to ask Siri to play anything. Having Apple Music right at your finger tips is fantastic. It’s also great when I can download any song and add it to […]
MelloTrello 1.1 – Label Text & Responsive
I’ve updated MelloTrello, my Trello theme, to show label text and to make it responsive. The text on the labels makes it easy to remember what the labels mean. That is, if you associate text with the labels. Boards also now stack if the window is too narrow. This makes Trello responsive and you don’t have […]
Clean up the multiple drafts that Apple’s Mail app creates in Gmail.
If you use Apple’s Mail with Gmail, you realize that every time Mail autosaves a draft, Gmail creates a new draft. Even after the message has been sent, Gmail thinks you have lots of drafts. I haven’t found a good way to stop this but I have found an easy way to clean it up. […]
Grammarly is an excellent free tool to help you write better.
Have you heard of Grammarly? Grammarly is a free (and paid) service that checks your writing for spelling and grammar mistakes. The best part is, it really works! I know the first thing a lot of people are going to say is that their operating system has spelling and grammar check too. It’s true, they […]
Apple can issue a refund if software purchased drops in price.
About a week after I finally persuaded myself to get Fantastical 2 for the Mac, it dropped in price. For most software I wouldn’t care, but when it’s $50 to start with, that $10 price drop is significant. Now technically Apple doesn’t have any price guarantees. Prices for products offered via the Services may change […]
