Keyboard Maestro's cost may seem high in a world where software is often reduced to "fart-app pricing" but it does the work of several apps. (Peter Lewis, Keyboard Maestro's developer, commented that he's still impressed to see what users come up with to do with his own app!) Even after all that, I'm still learning new tricks that it can do. I've even done some one-on-one consulting and training. I have written about it a lot and posted several macros on Github. The more I learn about Keyboard Maestro, the more I'm impressed with it. Version 6 came out in 2013 and the app is continually improved. Keyboard Maestro ($36) is my favorite "non-new" app of 2013. I even use Bartender on my Dell UltraSharp 29" Ultrawide monitor which is essentially one monitor as wide as two monitors. You can even use it to hide built-in OS X menu bar icons such as Notification Center and Spotlight.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. Favorite New App of 2013īartender ($15) is the app I never knew I wanted until it existed, and now I never want to use a Mac without it installed.īartender lets you hide apps on your menu bar, as well as organize the ones you want to remain visible. If there is no price listed, then the app/utility is free, although most gratefully accept donations. Instead, this is a list of the apps that I used or enjoyed the most in 2013, and expect to keep using in the future.Īll prices listed are in US Dollars, rounded off to the nearest whole dollar (because we all know that 99¢ is just a marketing way of saying $1, right?). Now there are a few important things to remember: you'll notice that many of these are not "new" apps because, well, I don't care when the apps were made nearly as much as I care if they're good and I find them useful.
Github type2phone license#
I've looked for an Apple doc that shows this but can't find it - do you have to be part of the MFi program to get it or is it something I can just setup if I have the spec? I don't see any MFi logos or anything on type2iphone and it's in the mac store so I assume MFi license is not necessarily required.As 2013 comes to an end, here are a list of my favorite Mac apps that I used over the past year.
Github type2phone how to#
I have no experience with bluetooth so I'm looking to be pointed in the right direction to set this up, ie: pairing bluetooth (with the phone not just my app so other apps may listen too in the future), how to send appropriate commands etc. It seems something just like what Type2iPhone ( ) does would be perfect just supporting the mac app as a standard bluetooth keyboard and then listening to keyboard events in the iOS app and responding or probably even simpler since I just need a few commands would be supporting the gamepad controller/extended controller ( ) in the app and sending the appropriate commands from the mac (this should also enable me to easily integrate with other apps in the future too if they just simply respond to controller or keyboard events that I send consistently instead of something custom)
I'd like to do it over bluetooth locally.
I fiddled with a server/websockets setup sending/listening to commands but thats excessive and requires internet and server power. My mac app has a companion iOS app and needs to send it basic controls such as a shortcut in the mac app (ie: cmd+delete or the arrow keys) performs an action in the iOS app.
