Can you make a video on the best setup for m2 Mac mini?
The ability add website links to quick search. Just like the google, Amazon, CZcams, and twitter, I was able to add instagram and couple of other websites I use quite often as shortcuts.

ThQ for your recommendations!
You talk about ssd drives, and here in nz we are paying more then 6x the price of the best 1TB Samsung ssd recommended for their MacBook Air. I wasted an hour with Apple trying to get to their rational sadly for this with no success.
So my 1st question is, can you load and run apps from an external ssd?
I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered the M1 Air with 16 unified RAM and 1TB of storage after hearing in the stores the speakers of all the M2s compared to the 13in M1 finding it better than all of them in sound and a few hundred dollars cheaper. I am regretting it now because I thought it would have the magnetic charging dongle and I now see that the M3 is supposedly coming out in October...should I cancel my order and wait for the M3?
ThQ in advance!!!
I recently bought a mac and I've been watching many videos on how to use a macbook and be more productive. You were the first one to pop up and I couldn't stop myself from watching all your videos They're all so well detailed and I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos. Keep up the good work, love your videos!
Comments like this are greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to watch the content and leave a comment! happy to hear
@@Christomshack Looking forward to more content!
Love the clarity and speed at which you deliver information on each video. You continue to offer great customization suggestions. 👍
Glad to hear it! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🤝
Just got my new Macbook Pro today, excited to work Alfred into my workflow! Thanks for the rec, I'll be keeping my eyes open for your next uploads!
I really love that Alfred is just one app for so many purposes. Like the clipboard manager, system orders and the timers. it's just so useful.
I thoroughly enjoyed using the Alfred app, and your detailed explanation motivated me to explore and utilize all of its features. Among the various functionalities, the clipboard history and internal file search stood out as my absolute favorites.
Great to hear!
Love the custom workflows you can create along with the shortcuts you can create! Great Video. Keep up the excellent work!
I love the ability to bring all your searches into one place and the versatility with all of the options and features. Thanks!
🙌🏼
saw your Mac apps video today and then came to your channel .. Am so happy to see that people are able to still make things work with YT. You started 4 months ago, have 5 videos, yet were able to make some 27K subscribers. Amazing job. BTW, of all the apps that you mentioned, the only 1 I installed in the ALFRED .. This butler is too good :-) .. All the best for you and your channel buddy
Great video! I find Web searching the most useful. Thank for the tips.
Just got my firsst mac and installed these!! thank you Chris!!!
Thanks for the clear and simple yet thorough review!
WOW! I have been a Mac guy since 1995 and this will bring my productivity to a whole new level. The lack of opening and closing windows all day will definitely be an asset. I never cared much for Spotlight, so I never really used it. This however will be my daily go to. So glad I stumbled upon your video "Top 10 BEST Mac Apps for Productivity". Snagged a couple more that will be useful from here as well. Thanks Chris!
Happy to help, Rick! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🤝🏼
Thanks GPT 😁
Just found your channel while researching apps for my new MacBook Pro. Thanks for the content!
Clipboard for sure! nice job explaining the whole app!
Thanks😀
Chris, this video is awesome, so informative. Thanks
That clipboard feature is so nice! My favorite!
Great video Chris. I really like Alfred's customization.
Thanks Tom! Me too.
I enjoy most the Connectivity to your device UI in a new way and ways
Thank you for introducing me to Alfred. I came across your channel and I am so thankful that I did. I'm a new follower and excited to start watching your videos. Keep up the great work on your channel!
This is absolutely life-changing. Thank you so so much!!
I didnt know about the clipboard history and its cross devices functionality. Definitely very useful and my favorite!
hey Chris, just love your videos, there's a long journey ahead of you.
Great video…well explained
Your videos are so clear concise and useful. Keep up the amazing work man!
Thanks a ton! This comment is greatly appreciated man 🙌🏼
What an amazing App! Thanks for the info, I use it all the time now!
Thank you for the great information, I have been using Alfred for awhile and did not know many things you went over.
Glad it was helpful!
Thx for this video! Didn't know how powerful Alfred was
Watched all of your videos and you definitely made it so much easier for me to learn and use Macbook Pro! I got the Macbook Pro 16" M2 and with your tech tips and app tips and tricks it has helped me so much also missed your new video so glad you're back here hoping to see even more in future have a good day! :)
Glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment 🤝
I love your app recommendations , they all are very useful .
Glad you like them!
Great video. The "Clipboard history" from Alfred it's amazing. Thank you!
Totally agree! Cheers
Clipboard history, I need this! Thanks Chris!
Im new to mac and I just discovered alfred. This is such a helpful video. For me i love the fact that you can integrate bitwarden using workflows, even though i do not have the powerpack, i really want it just for that.
🙌🏼
Great video. Very informative. I did not know about the 1Password integration. Game changer!
It’s an extremely useful one!
Such a great great great review! One of the best out there! No garbage no bla bla. Simply awesome. As a tech guy, you nailed it!
Great video, will download and setup 🙂 Thanks Chris
Thanks, enjoy Alfred!
Your videos are great man
Wow I didn’t know Alfred had all of these features. The clipboard history is really cool, and it’d be really interesting to mess around with the workflows.
Binge watching all your vids to prep for my new MacBook coming soon!
Another great video Chris. I learn so much watching your tips and tricks. For Alfred, I do like the temp email, would save so much email clutter.
Really appreciate the compliment Tom. Thanks for commenting and hopefully I can deliver more value in future videos 🤝
Great info! Just discovered your channel. Didnt know about this App.
Welcome to the dark side of productivity! Alfred will be a game changer for you, I’m sure 🤝🏼
Awesome video! Thanks for walking me through the app. Alfred Rocks!
You bet 🙌🏼
i am new with alfred - thanks for your great tips !!
Thanks for watching!
A little late to the vid but your videos are so easy to watch and gives me all the details in every video you post. This is my first time getting Alfred and I love how you can practically do anything on the app.
Glad you like them! Thanks for commenting 🤝🏼
Just got a new MacBook Pro M2 Max and this app is a game changer, My favorite is the speed and the options you get and customize!
I love your videos. This is what we needed all along
Love to hear that. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🤝🏼
Great info! Thanks!
You bet!
Great video
I really like Alfred's customization and it's so fast!
Great video btw!
Completely agree. Thanks!
Thank you for the tips, whats not to like about Alfred, is just amazing
Couldn't agree more 🤝🏼
The built-in clipboard history would definitely be my favorite feature. Having it be so easily accessible and flexible seems so helpful!
Totally agree!
Love your videos and all the cool new apps you have helped me install on my device to allow me to work more efficiently. Keep up the great work!
Happy to hear and thanks!
Thank you for all the hacks. I'm a new MacOS user and this is really useful to stay productive.
Just Love the capabilities that far surpass Spotlight . . . Thank you so much for showing us the extreme capabilities of this fantastic app . . .
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers
Okay, Alfred is my new favourite thing. As someone with ADHD whose mind is in ten different places at once, being able to access everything I need to from the same place without having to manually jump between apps will up my productivity by a mile.
If I eventually get the PowerPack, workflows will be my number one tool.
I really enjoyed your breakdown. And my favourite Alfred feature is actually the Pomodoro timer 😊
Hi there from Portugal!
Personally really like the search feature.
Obrigado(Thanks)
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment
Thanks for sharing this. Tried Alfred before, but felt overwhelmed when setting it up. After watching this, I feel like that I need to try it again and go through it slowly this time.
I’m with you - opening the app and seeing the convoluted settings can be daunting! It steered me away from the app several times over the years. Hopefully this video helped provide some clarity and insight into some useable features and workflows for you to get more use out of the app 👍🏼
Great video! Clipboard history is the feature for me.
Good choice - I use it all the time.
You are back !!!. Very interesting and helpful Video for Mac user beginner.
We back 🙌🏼 happy to hear the video was helpful
nteresting video. I've not done a lot with Alfred past using it as an app launcerh...
Test the other features and I guarantee you will see the real power of the app 🤝
My favourite Alfred feature is the web search, I'll never waste time opening up google or youtube manually again! Great vid :D
love your help, it realy helped me understand alfred the only thing is that i dont seem to find the toggle desktop icons, if anyone has the same issue or maby if a update changed some stuff plys tell me
Bought my very first MAC yesterday. Definitely gonna download Alfred.
Enjoy that new Mac and Alfred!
Great video!
Glad you think so. Thanks for the comment!
I use Alfred since several years now and it is the first app I install when I buy a new Mac.Thanks for this video and the giveaway!
Fantastic! Thanks for watching and commenting 🤝🏼
Hey chris do a comparison between macbook pro m1 or m2 is it worth upgrading?
Clipboard history! Another one of those features that should come prebuilt in Mac OS like rectangle. 😊
Hey you’re back! Solid video man.
Thanks Jon! Happy to be back.
+1 new subcriber. Also, thats my second day with macbook air in my hands. I dont know much about macos, so I will watch your videos with interest:))
Alfred has always been the first to install myself, this time around I tried raycast. Definitely different in the fact that you almost have to give your search operator first, and there is more of a learning curve, but it does stuff that definitely can't be done with Alfred. Downside is it is subscription based if you want to sync settings between devices, or use custom themes.
What Raycast can do that Alfred can't?
Very nice video. Have heard of Alfred before but this video was nice and helped me understand more of what it can do. Love the Paste history feature. Being in IT I do a ton of copy paste for work and that feature would be a time saver.
The clipboard manager will save a ton of time 👍🏼
There are a ton of useful workflows out there on GitHub and the Alfred website. Highly recommend browsing and seeing which ones you could benefit from!
@@Christomshack will check those out as well. Thank you again for the great info!!
Hey Chris, great content well presented. I personally really like the temporary email feature.
Hey, thanks Dean. Temp email has saved my inbox and sanity on plenty of occasions
it's not working for me :( it just opened google with no inbox
Love the channel
Great to hear!
Glad you're back!
It's great to be back! Thanks for the comment
the fact that it searches the web as well helps out a ton. use it all the time
💯
My favorite Alfred feature is definitely the temp email. So useful!
Totally agree!
Just started using Alfred because of your video. Still need to learn a lot but I really like web searching feature. I set up some of my most used sites and it is much faster than using browser bookmarks.
Thanks. Considered Alfred for a while now so maybe a second look. I already have Bit Defender and Copy'Em so some duplication but anyway ...
Do you have any recommendation on cleanup software?
I have heard about “MaCleaner Pro” and “Clean My Mac X”. Do you have any thoughts on them?
Ok the temporary email, the hide desktop icon and yak are definitely features I’d use a lot!
Top video as usual
Thanks again!
nice to have u back man keep it up
Great to be back!
The clipboard feature has got to be my favorite thing Alfred has to offer. I find myself needing to copy and paste a lot and I hate having to go back and fourth to copy one by one.
Totally agree. Paired with the ability to save copied items from several devices too, and it’s a winning feature in my book.
Woah. Smart and good looking?!? I’ll download Alfred rn!
Hey I just want to say how greatly appreciated your videos are. They stand out from other content on youtube somehow!
Btw, what kind of work do you do? Which programmming languages do you use?
Cheers!
So glad you’re back 🎉🎉
🙌🏼🤝🏼
my favorite feature is the launching off apps and file search.The extra pack does seem interesting.
The powerpack license unlocks a TON of extremely useful features. Thanks for the comment!
Didn`t know alfred was so good! Thks!
So good!
I appreciate the ability to search all files and the internet. I take copious notes and sometimes my notes reflect a website that I visited. I find it helpful that Alfred will find my note, document, and a website.
🙌🏼
Mee the clipboard! Definitely
Same here 🤝
Totally sold me on Alfred.
It’s worth it!
Yay! My best new Mac channel!
Woo 🙌🏼🤝
What do you think about Alfred vs Raycast??
thanks for doing thus video i now use alfred a lot its so easy to use thank you very much my favorite feature its the fast searching i will be very happy if i will win the power pack
glad you’re back man!
We back! 🙌🏼
nice video
Alfred has saved me so much time!
Same here 🙌🏼
Wow! I never knew Alfred could be this useful. Thank you for making this video.
I have a question though: I am a software engineer and I use Terminal heavily. Do you think the terminal feature of Alfred is useful as compared to using an actual terminal?
Is the 1Password license included with Alfred Powerpack?
The search feature of Alfred is my favorite
