New version of Ulysses for Mac and iOS dropped, so I’m having another look at it. Sadly, a lot of the useful functions are unavailable to me because I prefer to have my writing on Dropbox rather than iCloud. My writing setup with Sublime Text may be a bit hack-y, but it works.


New version of CleanMyMac came out, and it now uses a high contrast theme if you’re using Accessibility in System Preferences to increase contrast. MacPaw have gone up in my estimation as a result. 🙂


CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 Arrives with a Version for Mac Too – Thurrott.com

A blast from the past! Will be interesting to see how this new offering fares on Mac. Cheaper than Adobe’s Creative Cloud, but dearer than Affinity Designer / Photo.

Annoyingly, there isn’t a way that I can see to edit my posts via the Micro.blog app for Mac. Am I missing something?
