Man, what a great video and list. So input for you / others: - I love HiddenMe, use it for the exact reason you mentioned. Although it has been a bit buggy for me; I find I have to relaunch it pretty often. - Hidden Bar: which seems pretty similar to Bar Tender; pretty sure it's free. - Moom: another window organizer, super powerful. - Ejectify: I use a MacBook on a docking stating with an external drive attached - this helps automatically eject the drive when I put the machine to sleep, thus cutting down on those irritating "didn't eject drive before disconnecting" notifications. - Amphetamine: another good task bar utility that keeps the machine awake, just in case you're running a task that you want to be sure doesn't get interrupted. I don't use it often, but it's great when you need it. One last thought: I don't understand Alfred!! Seems kind of unnecessary to me. Maybe I need to give it another try?

WAS a long time Alfred user. Tried the latest Raycast, and it's in a whole different and better world. The Pro version with built-in AI (ChatGPT) is great. Many, many more extensions and it's getting rapid release features. Alfred by comparison is old, barely any new features, and the UI IMHO looks terrible. I tried Raycast when it first launched a couple of years ago and went back to Alfred. But last month I tried Raycast again, loved it so much, I immediately bought Pro and dumped Alfred in the trashcan. Haven't missed it since.

Best Mac app recommendation video I’ve ever watched on KZbin. And believe me, I’ve watched them all. As soon as you started talking about the “countless hours” you’ve spent on recommendation videos, I was like “oh this guy gets me”

I am not commenting to win the gift card (if I do manage to win pick someone else xd), I am commenting to tell you I am impressed with your video quality. It's nice, non-distracting, webcam elements add personal touch that feels "welcoming" and you show how to install each app for people that may not be tech savvy. I am impressed and I hope you keep it up in the future and that the algorithm will be nice to you because you made a video better than 99% of videos out there. Huge props!

Morning! Oddly enough, you mentioned that you didn't comment to win the gift card... And you won the drawing! Send an email to Chris@firstphase.dev (also shown in the About section of my Channel page for verification) so I can send you the gift card. If you would like to forego winning, let me know and I will draw another winner!

@@Christomshack feel free to give it to someone else - wasn't lying about the "not wanting to win the gift card" part :) I just think you have a lot of talent and wanted to motivate you - no financial incentive! Also cool thing of you that you kept your word! Definitely keep going :)
