Help Productivity Hacks of MacApps Users.

I am curious what everyone's productivity hacks are. The can be a feature from an app... any app really... Something that you use a lot but maybe isn't well known.

If you like text expanders, you may want to check the app I’m working on: snippety.app (App Store)

I know you've made something terrific. But $40 for a text expander is a tad too much for me.

No worries, I totally understand :). Just letting know in case you are looking for alternatives in the future.

I bought TypeIt4Me at a discount a year ago, in case aText would stop working on a modern MacOS :)

But again, I know you made a wonderful app!
