How long can I go without SetApp?
My SetApp subscription was scheduled to renew today, but I didn’t let it. I figured that if I buy the apps outright that I actually use, I’ll spend around the same amount as I would on a 1-year SetApp license for both Macs. The purchased apps would either
My notes as text in one folder
I may have solved at least some of my problems caused by taking notes too many different apps. I moved all of them into ~/Documents/Notes, with subfolders per app. So…

MailMate because I just quit Hey but still wanted something different to play with. I've used MailMate on and off since sometime in 2013
But what if something something?!...
In a post from Andreas:
