Corel acquired Mindjet a good while ago and it has done what the old MindManager team never bothered to do: it puts a lot of power into the hands of Mac users. MindManager for Mac version 13 is a true project management tool. If you ever wondered why you should use MindManager instead of some other Mac-based mind mapping tool, this new version will give you a clear answer.… Read More MindManager for Mac 13; great for managing projects
I imagine many photographers have at least one FlashBender with them at all times as it is a flash light modifier that can direct, soften or diffuse light efficiently, while it’s lightweight enough and foldable to take it with you in your photo bag.… Read More Flashbender v3 review
You can extend GoPro’s HERO 8 action camera with so-called “Mods”. There are three of them: Media Mod, Light Mod and Display Mod. At the time of writing, only the Media and Light Mod were available. We tested the Media Mod which is the one you need to have if you plan on using either of the other two.… Read More GoPro Media Mod review
The Nissin MG80 Pro is a flash with a guide number of 60@200mm. Unique about the MG80 Pro is that it can be powered by four 14500 Li-ion or four AA rechargeable batteries. I tried the Nissin with the 14500 cells. Those deliver a recycling time of 1.2sec, while four NiMH batteries result in a 3.0sec recycle time.… Read More Nissin MG80 Pro & Air 10s Commander
Smile released PDFpenPro 12 a short while ago and as it is the most feature-complete PDF editor for the Mac, we got straight to business — which is, by the way, exactly what the new version supports better than any other PDF editor for the Mac.… Read More PDFpenPro 12 review

NVMe SSDs are meant to be built-in into a computer as a high-speed hard disk replacement or in an external device that usually sells as a black box, i.e. you can’t open it, add or remove SSDs from it. That definition is quickly becoming obsolete, though, as a growing number of vendors such as Plugable and OWC are offering enclosures that allow you to quickly switch between different NVMe SSDs.… Read More Plugable USB 3.1 Gen.2 NVMe SSD enclosure & Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD
I’ve been wondering how you can set up a scheduling system with a calendar app since I reviewed Sorted 3 a couple of weeks ago. I have Fantastical on my system from its early days, but although the upgrade to the latest version — which was free — enabled some of its Premium subscription features, not all were included and to use Fantastical as an automatic scheduling system you do need a few Premium features such as the proposed meeting time feature and custom colours. However, Premium comes with more good stuff.… Read More Better than a task manager or a calendar: Fantastical 3 Premium
When Covid–19 struck, Rogue Amoeba received extensive user requests to make live streaming available immediately as people are confined to their homes the world over. The Live Stream block supports live streaming audio to RTMP servers like YouTube Live, Twitch, and Periscope. It enables Audio Hijack users to deliver a live feed while recording a podcast or transmitting content like a concert. Listeners can tune in right through their browsers, as well as in branded apps.… Read More Audio Hijack Live Stream Block streams audio to Youtube, Facebook, Periscope and others
You know Scrivener, don’t you? Well, Scrivener is a lovely and very powerful editing app, but it somehow falls short in the user-experience and user interface department. But, honestly, Scrivener did have a few advantages over Ulysses, such as the ability to have research notes that are excluded from export. And yes, I did write: “did have”.
