macOS Tips

If we meet or talk about Apple Macs or macOS, I may recommend a website, tool, or book to you. This is an attempt to summarize everything on one page.

If you find an outdated link, please let me know. If you’re after my general tips, I have a page for that here.

If you are looking for my reviews or how-to guides check this link.

Important Note: If you own, operate, or publish anything I link to, please contact me BEFORE you want to add me as someone who endorses you, testimonial, etc.

This list is provided as a courtesy to family, friends, and colleagues not for you to quote me in marketing material.

Note: (preferred) means I use the app personally, but alternatives may be listed in case the app isn’t right for you.

macOS Tweaks

• Smooth Scroll
  Alternative to MOS, enable smooth scrolling on your Mac.
• TuneMyMusic
