I can see these tools for limited screen real estate, e.g. on laptops, the best selling machines in the Mac lineup. I use a Studio display with a desktop, and I almost always know where my windows are. If I lose track of where a specific document window is in an app with several documents open, well, that’s what the Dock is for.

i realize, ymmv.

I was surprised to get a fall alert when I was simply putting some weights on the floor.

But I was more amused after I got a loud noise alert when I sneezed a couple of months ago.

Is Elon hitting meth now?

Let’s see:

1Password - when they stepped onto the Electron bandwagon, I stepped off paying for any updates. 7.whatever still runs, if all you need is a password vault, which I use as a deep archive (for accounts I never use, but some vendor may still maintain my account) and a backup to Keychain Access. Speaking of which, what will Passwords offer that Keychain access does not?

Grammarly: Never used it. After six years of rote learning of grammar, syntax, and composition in English in high school, at least until dementia sets in, I don’t need anyone else’s grammar interventions.

Calculator: will have to see what it can do that I don’t do already with Kalkulilo.

ChatGPT: As I emailed Tim Cook last evening, all I want from ChatGPT is a kill switch so I am never pestered to use it, for anything.

Allow me to express my skepticism that any of these changes will make my life better.
