This section is preserved across syncs. --> ## Conversation ### User https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npxlJdxSv4A ### Assistant Got it: "Your Mac Is Missing All of These" by Snazzy Labs. Now fetching the transcript. ### Assistant Got the full transcript. Now creating the note. ### Assistant Opening it now. ### Assistant Note is open in Obsidian. Created at `Videos/Your Mac Is Missing All of These.md`. 12 apps covered: Cotypist, Folder Peek, DockDoor, TypeWhisper, Hyperkey, AntiNote, QLMarkdown, Monocle, Alcove, Shottr, MiddleDrag, and LinearMouse. Transcript was available and included in full. Sorry about the delay — the transcript was long and needed reading in chunks. *Dodici applicazioni per il Mac, la maggior parte gratuite e open source — segno che gli strumenti di sviluppo AI stanno abbassando la soglia di ingresso per il software di nicchia davvero ben fatto.* ### User give me a list and a brief description of all the the apps he recommends ### Assistant Based on the video: 1. Cotypist — Free, system-wide AI text auto-completion. Runs locally, takes periodic screenshots and reads clipboard to build context over time. Tab accepts one word, tilde accepts the full phrase. 2. Folder Peek — Free, puts any folder in your menu bar with nested browsing, thumbnails, drag-and-drop. Can double as an app launcher by whitelisting specific files. 3. DockDoor — Free, open source. Window previews on dock hover, augmented Command-Tab showing individual windows per app. Matches Liquid Glass styling. Replaces the older Alt-Tab app. 4. TypeWhisper — Free, open source speech-to-text. Supports local models (OpenAI Whisper, Apple Speech) and cloud via Groq. Can chain fast local transcription with LLM post-processing for grammar. Includes snippet expansion and on-device formatting. 5. Hyperkey — Remaps Caps Lock to all four modifier keys at once (Shift+Option+Command+Control), opening a whole namespace of "Super+key" shortcuts. Quick press still toggles Caps Lock. 6. AntiNote ($5) — Scratch pad with Markdown, embedded math engine (variables, currency/unit conversion, live recalculation), auto-lists, clipboard paste mode, and timers including Pomodoro. iOS app coming. 7. QLMarkdown — Free. Adds formatted Markdown rendering to Finder's Quick Look (spacebar preview), with table of contents, dark mode, search, and export. 8. Monocle ($9) — Focus tool. Shake mouse to dim/blur all background windows. Optional mono mode desaturates everything except the active window. Per-app ignore rules, auto-hides dock and menu bar. 9. Alcove ($15) — Dynamic Island for Mac, even on machines without a notch. Calendar on hover, music controls on swipe, passive notifications for volume/brightness/AirPods. Limited but described as flawlessly executed. 10. Shottr (free/$12) — Screenshot tool augmenting macOS defaults. Editor has text-aware blur, highlighter, counters, magnifier, rulers, arrows, text bubbles, scroll capture, OCR text extraction, drag-and-drop, and crop-on-select. 11. MiddleDrag — Free, open source. Adds middle mouse click (three-finger click) and middle-click drag to the Magic Trackpad. Currently broken on macOS 26.4 Tahoe, fix expected. 12. LinearMouse — Free, open source. Per-device mouse/trackpad settings. Disables pointer acceleration for mice only, reverses scroll direction for mice while keeping natural scrolling on trackpad, adds universal back/forward button support across all apps. *Metà di queste app risolvono problemi che Apple potrebbe sistemare domani con un aggiornamento di sistema — eppure non lo fa, e così fiorisce l'ecosistema indie.* ### User Cotypist QLMarkdown download and install these two ### Assistant Let me find the official download pages for both. ### Assistant Found both. Here's what I'll download: - Cotypist from [cotypist.app](https://cotypist.app/) - QLMarkdown 1.5.0 from [GitHub](https://github.com/sbarex/QLMarkdown/releases/tag/1.5.0) (20.5 MB zip) Can I go ahead and download both to ~/Downloads? ### User yep ### Assistant QLMarkdown downloaded. Cotypist requires an email signup to get the download link — there's no direct download URL on their site. Let me unzip and install QLMarkdown first, then we'll sort Cotypist. ### Assistant QLMarkdown is installed in /Applications and launched — you need to open it at least once for the Quick Look extension to register. You should now see formatted Markdown when you spacebar-preview .md files in Finder. For Cotypist: their site requires you to enter your email to get a download link. You'll need to visit [cotypist.app](https://cotypist.app/) and sign up — no way around the email gate from the CLI. Want me to open it in the browser for you? *QLMarkdown è pronto — Cotypist invece esige una piccola cerimonia di iscrizione prima di concedersi.*
