One feature that keeps me using the Arc web browser is Easels. I create and use them in different spaces and folders. Use cases include:

Documenting app how-to's
Swipe files
Documenting workflows
Content ideas
Tutorials

I'm glad the Browser company has not gotten rid of this feature.

This BetterTouchTool action takes a screenshot of the Zoom window and saves it to the desktop. I trigger this action with a one-finger tap at the top of my trackpad. I should have created a new action years ago.

Started back using Craft after abandoning it back in 2022. I particularly like its Daily Notes feature for the ability to share items like YouTube links from other apps, insert tasks, and format and color code content to make notes stylistically attractive. @craft.do

In my opinion, Amazing Marvin is the best personal task and project manager on the market. It contains over a hundred features and strategies to help you stay on top of you of what you need to do.
I'd debate anyone who says another task manager is better than Amazing Marvin.

Cotypist can predict the next words you want to type. Try it out! It can help you type faster and more accurately.

I was typing relatively slow while recording, but Cotypist does help me type faster on many occasions by making predictions.

Keyboard Maestro macro. Automatically copy a selection while holding down the Option key.

CleanClip has several powerful features, including one called Long-Press Popup, which triggers its Quick Menu instead of using a keyboard shortcut. Just click and hold on your mouse or trackpad and the menu will pop up.

So help me understand why Apple hasn't added a shortcut to Voice Control to toggle the listening mode?
Also, if anyone else getting this error Voice Control settings?

I review four AI voice-to-text apps: SuperWhisper, Wispr Flow, Talktastic, and FixKey. I share which I prefer most.

The AI Daily Log extension for @raycast.com is very handy. It provides daily and monthly summaries of all input. Really convenient for monitoring productivity.

Drafts app allows for an extension that runs ChaptGPT results inside a note. It reads the contents of the note and responds to a prompt.

A Drafts feature I often use: pinned draft

Homerow allows you to trigger buttons in any app by using your keyboard. It reduces the need to move your hand back to your trackpad or mouse.

Yep, created a custom window position for the Raycast AI window.

This Keyboard Maestro shortcut is faster than moving my right hand to the Arrow keys to navigate a list of items to select. I use similar shortcut Arrow Down.

Automatic Copy

This Keyboard Maestro macro allows you to select and copy multiple pieces of text individually without pressing the Command+C shortcut each time or using the PopClip extension. Selected text is automatically copied.

I toggle this macro on and off using another macro.
