7 iPhone Apps I Can't Live Without

[@suzanner3894]

Your channel is fast becoming one of my favorite. You consistently have tips and tricks that I didn’t know about the IOS world. I especially love the shortcuts that you create.

[@beardfm]

That means a lot, thanks for saying so! More Shortcuts coming soon!

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

Exactly 👍

[@sqou]

Same here, cheers from Germany

[@tikmetal1982]

Yes Stephen is the best!! He actually interacts with the questions and comments!

[@jakeperl5857]

Man, your videos are THE perfect model in every way that I wish every tutorial creator would follow. And, I don't know if anyone has thanked you for this, but THANK YOU for not trashing up your videos with loud, annoying and unnecessary EDM (actually your videos are a perfect demonstration showing that music is not really necessary at all for a great tutorial).

[@beardfm]

Really appreciate you saying so. Sometimes I wonder whether I need to "up the ante" on some videos, with music or other stuff, but comment like yours show that good explanations and tutorials can stand on their own!

[@faradaycool4058]

My most informative and entertaining source of information. Thanks fr Singapore !

[@beardfm]

Wow, very kind. Thank you!

[@RonnieGreher]

I'v been watching your channel for a bit and have been thoroughly pleased with all of the content presented here. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite tech channels, and that's saying alot! Keep it up sir!

[@beardfm]

Very kind of you to say 🙏🏻 thank you for watching!

[@vlvr]

I'm with you on much of it. I used to use and love Bear as well but switched to Drafts which I much prefer. Being able to capture notes with the action button on my Ultra is a game changer.

[@beardfm]

Drafts is a great app I use for certain things too!

[@Akella1986]

Amazing new channel 🤟

[@beardfm]

Welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

Stephen, for real, you are too 3 for me all time!!! Your content is AMAZING, you are so quick but informative (that is a GREAT thing & I don’t even have to run your stuff at 1.5 speed!) plus YOU OOZE a genuine trustworthiness & care that, quite honestly, is so rare these days it’s pretty much not even present. You aren’t churning out videos *just* for quotas or whatever. I am very interested in your shortcut stuff. I’ve done some of them, but the more involved ones, I’ve gotten 75-80% done on some with my ip15pm & there’s usually something off. I can do most, but it will hopefully come to me with time. I don’t generally give up 😊 I hope you & your family have a WONDERFUL holiday season & thank you so much for what you do!

[@beardfm]

Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏻 I’m glad my desire to communicate clear and informative content is received. More advanced Shortcuts coming soon!

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

@@beardfm it most certainly is and you don't even have a delivery style or voice that makes my ears & eyes bleed!! (I kid, sort of). It is truly unfortunate how so many, in MANY different mediums, have no clue how to deliver simple messaging. I know things & could do product discussions on several topics (not related to this field) but I have a quite strong accent & no content would be taken away, they'd be too busy making fun of my accent. I MAKE FUN OF OUR ACCENT!! The difference is, I don't deduct IQ points for it. I sound a lot like Travis Taylor...ummm...in accent only...he is the smartest man in EVERY room he walks into, period...our accents are where our similarities end!! L O L

Hands down, one of the best tech KZbin creators around.

[@beardfm]

That means a lot, appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@minncognito]

This is the best content on KZbin by far.

[@beardfm]

Appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@minncognito]

If I may ask a question - I created a menu (triggers when the action button runs a shortcut) where I can easily access all sorts of functions and apps, toggling or opening them with ease. I’d be happy to keep using that menu for everything no matter what focus I’m in. However, I’d ultimately like to make it so I have that menu but customized for each focus. Do you think it would be best to accomplish this by having the focuses And their respective menus in one shortcut or have a separate shortcut file (with unique menu options) for each focus and use things like “get current focus” and “set focus” to switch between them?

[@minncognito]

@@beardfm also, I have a scripting issue with a an shortcut where the it got about 75% of the way through and then stopped. An icon is now at the top of my screen indicating that it’s running but stuck. How do I stop or clear it? Do I have to restart my phone? Nothing I’ve tried has worked (renaming the shortcut, deleting it, adding “end shortcut” as an option and then clicking it. It won’t resolve itself.

[@KenAdams426]

Unless I was too excited in getting the apps and trying them most seem to be paid subscription apps. 9$ a year for the call sheet app. I was excited to use it till I got to poking around the settings and saw the subscription tab and already wasted 1 of my free searches. The calendar app is a pay to use also. I’m not sure if you mentioned that or not in the video.

[@beardfm]

Fantastical I mentioned as paid, but not CallSheet. Will specify in the future!

[@KenAdams426]

@@beardfm I may have missed the calendar. It looked cool and I paused the video to download it lol

[@clydedigital]

Does the Mac need to be on when you use screens or would it work in sleep mode?

[@beardfm]

It can wake it from sleep! But just can't be shut down

[@tikmetal1982]

I love this!! And I love that you have Publix near you! Wait, you’re in Florida you know all about it haha 😂 I used to be a CSM for Publix.

[@beardfm]

Haha thanks, and Publix is where it’s at! The subs are legendary

[@TheCineCuts]

Please make more shortcut videos

i would love a deep dive on Bear

[@realkevintaylor]

I would love to quit using Apple stock apps on both iOS, iPadOS, and macOS for my daily workflow, but I’m low vision and rely on voiceover heavily and when it comes to accessibility the Apple suite of apps, just nails, it perfectly every time I’ve never been very successful in third-party voiceover apps Except Google but great video. I’ll give these a try.

[@beardfm]

Fantastical and Bear may contend with Apple's accessibility support. Great developers behind both!

[@paracha3]

I wish Apple Journal app had web version so I could import older blog entries into one single place.

[@beardfm]

That would be nice. Hopefully we see a lot more features added with iOS 18

I guess you gotta be an engineer. So many apps that are involved in tracking and doing stuff in the background. Once you are committed you could be a slave. I only use the built-in health app to remind me to take my medicine.

[@vded13]

As much as I love your channel you should add “subscription based” on your title!! • Fantastical? Cost a fortune! • Callsheet? Really 10€/year for something that IMDB offers free? • Screens 5? 80€/year?! That’s a ripoff!! Really really hate all these subscription based apps!! And not even once mentioned in the video the subscriptions!!

[@beardfm]

Good apps cost, and rightly so. Never said "free" apps I can't live without.

[@itzaddam9910]

Agree on fastical but that crap is EXPENSIVE tooooo EXPENSIVE

[@beardfm]

It’s a cost for sure. But calendar is super important to me

[@Tha-King-Arthur]

Who’s gonna pay so much money for a calendar called fantastical lol… Do u seriously pay 80 dollar each year for this crap?

[@beardfm]

Every year! It’s a key way I stay organized and manage stress

[@xxlwsxx]

Most of these apps are subscriptions based … not for me too
