Creating Databases with DEVONthink

Back in 2015, I created a series of articles on how to get into using DEVONthink. DEVONthink is just an absolute monster of an application on macOS that can do so much more than file management if you wish.

I use it to archive my emails, manage my paperless office, pull in RSS feeds and a lot more and despite the cost, the value I’ve pulled in from the app is amazing.

I decided to switch up the format and release a small series of videos that will help you get started if DEVONthink is something you have heard of, but never taken the plunge in trying out. The first one - Creating Databases with DEVONthink - is now available, and more will be following in due course that cover Importing and Indexing files, Backing up your Databases, Classifying documents and much more.

Control your Mac volume with your Watch using WatchControl

Damian, one of the cool people over in the Relay FM Discord servers has created a great application that allows you to control the volume on your Mac, using your Apple Watch - WatchControl.

This is a small quality of life improvement I’ve been looking for and totally the kind of thing I can get behind. I’ve tried it, it works great and is well worth checking out.

There are two elements to the process - an app that is installed on your Watch via your iPhone, then a small menu bar companion app for macOS.

MyProductiveMac-ademy is Live!

It’s been a long time coming, however finally taken the plunge and decided that it would be a good idea to launch my own online course. I’m hoping this is the first of many as the MyProductiveMac-ademy finally goes live

The first course I’ve developed is the MyProductiveMac Guide to Todoist and is 60+ videos covering everything from Getting Started with the application, all the way through to configuring integrations and looking at examples of different workflows.

There is going to be new content posted to the site monthly which is why I’m confident that the introductory price of £29.99 + VAT represents good value.

If you are looking at either getting to grips with Todoist, or developing your existing skills, then check the course out - it may be just what you are looking for
