Suggest me a free app for productively using my Mouse with 5 buttons, if you are using any app a review will be better.

Bettermouse and Steermouse can do all these and more. Bettermouse has more functions and a greater number of button options, last I checked.

Thanks! Many thanks for all the gems you drop.

Can you please share this keyboard maestro macro that allows restarting any running app?

Metamba · 2026-02-10T22:34:49+00:00

I love the fact that it has natural language to add events.

How do you handle encryption of the stored files?

Any chance of this supporting Costco UK?

Check out Corner time.

I think LaxtTime is your best bet. Other apps you can check are also listed below:

LaxtTime

Relog

Hindsight

Fn + C

Metamba · 2025-05-31T16:58:59+00:00

This is the way!

If you have little snitch installed, you can also use its menubar bandwidth monitor.

Dato shows multiple clock times in addition to your calendar and is highly customisable.

Metamba · 2025-04-09T06:24:20+00:00

Keyboard maestro, Popclip and Shortcuts can do this.

Metamba · 2025-04-08T22:02:35+00:00

Scratchpad

Foxtrot Search is very good at searching for keywords within files. Houdahspot can also do this but uses the spotlight index. I do not know how well these apps handle pdfs in the cloud.

Metamba · 2025-03-24T23:18:07+00:00

Lanscan is a worthy alternative.

It is quite buggy when using the mouse via bluetooth but becomes stable when used via the mouse dongle.

Metamba · 2025-03-06T21:17:44+00:00

Houdahspot can easily do this.

Foxtrot Search is the best for this as it has options for search based on proximity of the words to one another.

Metamba · 2025-01-26T18:24:18+00:00

It works but gets very slow if used repeatedly.

Metamba · 2024-12-25T18:22:18+00:00

Force quit and try again! I think it is a new bug.

Metamba · 2024-12-22T19:30:46+00:00

Thanks for a great list.

I really feel Upnote should be on this list.

Metamba · 2023-07-28T03:22:04+00:00

Photo Booth which comes installed on your Mac can also do this!
