Five Interesting Mac Apps Worth Checking Out - June 2018

[Baletin]

Always really like those monthly app recommendations. Great job.
I think, dedupe and pasteboard apps can really be productivity boosters in certain situations.

However, can someone compare any benefits of Gemini and Paste to OSS dupeGuru and Clipy?

Does Gemini 2 have a comparison feature that is able to find files present in one folder, but not present in one or more other folders? That's probably the main thing I'm missing in dupeGuru. Its maintainer recently changed, so here's the link to the original developer site:
dupeGuru https://www.hardcoded.net/dupeguru/

Does Paste have any advantages over Clipy?
Clipy https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy
Clipy's predecessor ClipMenu was my favourite one, but I didn't find a comparable app. Especially I'm missing the mighty RegEx rules that hopefully will return to Clipy one day.

Thank you for feedback.

you can try Gemini 2 and decide on your own - https://macpaw.com/download/gemini

Thank you, but I'd prefer shared experiences. MacPaw's Gemini 2 is more looking like a system cleaner app similar to CleanMyMac 3 app from the same developer than a dedupe app for more complex tasks. At the moment I don't have a real life dedupe task that would make sense to demo Gemini 2. Though I'm really interested in Gemini 2 user opinions, especially from those that exchanged dupeGuru for Gemini 2 or another similar app.

As I mentioned previously I use Duplicate File Finder instead of Gemini which I deleted after 5 minutes of trial...

I've been using iClip as a Clipboard Manager for years.
I am waiting for Enpass 6 (with WiFi synchronization).

Thank you. There are dozens of apps containing the keywords Duplicate File Finder. Finally I've found an app on the MAS by the developer iBoostUp. There is also a free app called iBoostUp on their website, that includes the Duplicate File Finder app. I think it is the one that you recommend, though there is no mention of a unique file search.

While searching I stumbled over another app called Tidy Up by Hyperbolic. That seems to have a feature to find unique files. Does anyone want to share experiences with it?

Thank you. iClip reminds me a bit of ClipMenu in the sense that it is probably able to execute RegEx search and replace with the help of user definable JavaScripts, too. I'm going to take a look on it.

Also, how can an anniversary be more than 12 months away?

29 February?

Ah, I see! The app is called Duplicate File Finder Remover in MAS and does have a unique file search. Thank you!

Just purchased Paste2. It works so much better than what Apple has tried to incorporate across the Mac and iOS. A lot of the time, if you cut and paste from Mac to iPhone (or vice versa) it wouldn't work the first time, and you would have to try several more times.

Paste 2 syncs (via the cloud) across all your devices. It is well worth the price.

Just wanted to include my voice and vote for Paste 2 to other fellow forum members.

Glad I saw the article earlier, and just now got around to testing and purchasing ($15.00).

How about highlighting apps that actually let you create something rather than merely consuming? I really like the idea behind this series, but we really don't need to hear about yet another Twitter client, yet another file manager, yet another pastebot, yet another dock & bar extension...

How about something like...

• Scrivener that helps writers compose books & articles;
  
• Acorn that helps designers create icons for their apps;
• Aseprite for helping spriters create pixel art;
  
• Blocs for building websites WYSIWYG;
• Transmit for moving content to remote servers;
• PaintCode 3 for crafting animations and then translating them to code?

Focus on the creators for once, instead of more consumer crap. God forbid the world needing people to tweet faster... The world won't benefit from one more tweet, there is enough noise and chatter without it. >_>

Thanks for the heads up about Blocs. I wanted to do a website, but don't have the time to learn to code. This app looks really great.

You should really feature MacUpdater. Most amazing app in a long time. https://www.corecode.io/macupdater/index.html

Great app. I just discovered your post. I've always wanted and app like this (there was another, but there was something about it I didn't like, don't remember what). Downloaded and bought!
