![]() ![]() I came home with a brand new M1 MacBook Air with a Magic Keyboard. Fortunately, all the cables and the USB hub I used with my Pixelbook worked swimmingly with the MacBook. All I had to do was swap out the machines.Īnd I love it. I still have a Google Pixel 3a phone.īut since I’ve been forced back into the Mac ecosystem, I am happy to have all the features that come with a native operating system that installs apps. It’s Linux-based (which is important to me – not to most other people, but to me). No, I don’t think everyone needs to run out and buy a MacBook Air. So what are the apps that I use every day? What apps have transformed my workday into something intuitive, fast, and productive? That being said, if you are a writer by trade, a MacBook Air is a really great bet. Let’s run through my favorites, starting with the two that forced me to make the switch in the first place. ![]() Vellum is a Mac-only app and it is 100% worth using for any self-published author.įormatting your book files can be a nightmare.

Keywords and categories are a big part of your success or failure as an author. I took a quick course on how to effectively use keywords and categories, and am planning this week to really run through my keywords and categories and fix them up. Publisher Rocket helps me find the right ones to target. Because of the time and headaches it saves, it was worth it for me to make the switch just to be able to use this app. Since the death of Google Reader (RIP), I think Google Calendar is probably the thing they do best. I could stick with Google Calendar (and I do), but I have supplemented it with Fantastical.Īs you’ll see in a lot of cases, having a native app is just a nicer experience. Having a calendar sitting in my system tray where I can pull it up with one click and instantly see the month, my agenda, any meetings I have with clients… it’s all there, and it works great. ![]() One of the things I miss most about Chrome OS is window management. I have to work in split-screen very often. I deal with research, Zoom calls, and whatever. I need to make the most of my big monitor.
