as always thanks thomas!
Espanso is being detected as a virus by bitdefender. I installed it from the link you provided, but I'm not sure what's up with this. Thanks for all the tips though, really great stuff.
Amazing app, started using some for my productivity! Please suggest something for TODO management. Don't want Notion, looks overloaded with functionality I don't need. Want something quick , simple and primarily using keyboard shortcuts, kind of like Flow Launcher concept.. Thank you
Amazing list! Flow Launcher and Espanso are godsends!!
You should try opera. The pin boards, the different workspaces and the youtube tools are good but the My Flow feature is a game changer.
@daune
I just stumbled across you and I've watched several vids in a row. You are on top of it buddy!!!
Microsoft Power Toys
Honestly, I find them to be anti-productivity apps.
Blue light is myth! Easy window invert is better!
night mode is there on windows no need for flux
Can't you do everything Flow Launcher can do by just pressing the Windows button?
How to search files on network in file manager using flow launcher/espanso/ everything? Plzz help
We offer the best tools to improve efficiency and productivity! Check out our channel for more info 😀
Windows productivity is an oxymoron.
dude your mic is bad… sounds like you're talking from inside of tin can… the video is great tho
I am never going to use ShareX again. I was a beginner, didn't know how it worked and it, without my permission, created a public link for my notepad file with all of my passwords in it. I had to manually change each one. Thank God nobody saw them.
random shoutout to polyverse for making wider free
This is fantastic!!! Do you have a Mac version as well?? These are genuinely useful, not very well known, and Free!! I love you
this is amazing thank you so much
I cant believe it MS – Edge is actually better than Chrome
Edge at macos has some problems, maybe chrome is a better choice on macos.
Flow Launcher just reminds me of Windows Powershell
Notion logo….. Netscape comes to mind
Edge also has a very capable text to speak function.
With tons of different voices that actually sounds great and professional.
I do not remember if I added extra voices to windows and that's why I have loads of alternatives.
I like the Irish lady voice clear and calm.
It's good that you can listen to an article while doing other stuff, like art or food for example
I like it
I'm very happy to see that
Windows has some awesome productivity tools, and other applications. Many of them free compared to MacOS. But… a lot of them look ugly. While macOS apps usually look good
Thanks for flow launcher
Don't use shareX it leaks all your screenshots.
Can you please tell me how you can have so much storage on your PC?
Do you install a hard drive or something like that, and how?
Please make a video on it.
What an incredible video
Hey how do I pull the text out of the screen on shareX app?
Notion looks really interesting. Been using OneNote but Notion looks easier….
So if you like quicklook, you can activate something similar in windows 10 in file explorer under the view ribbon. Second from left on the view ribbon is the Preview Pane button. You can also change the content display of that folder, like large icons for images or a detail list with file meta data, with the buttons to the right of that. (Which you can scroll through by holding the control key and scrolling the mouse wheel.
You did a good work
