Overcast has a great new feature where you can share clips of a podcast!

I love using my AirPods with my Apple TV but connecting them isn’t quite as intuitive as on iOS!

In episode 25 of Automators David and I sat down together in person, with the help of his suitcase and some shoes, we were able to record a full episode in person!

OmniFocus for the Web has released today! I ran through all the key features over on MacStories. I love that today is launch day but already in the beta version OmniGroup have new features (namely the Forecast view!) - and WWDC is right around the corner next week so they’re clearly working hard.

In the latest episode of Automators David and I went crazy over AirTable - we use it to plan Automators which makes our life so much easier, that combined with the automations you can attach to this meant it was the perfect topic for an episode of Automators!

When I was in Chicago for MPU Live in March I took the opportunity to order a Waterfield Staad backpack to my hotel to bring back with me. I’d been intrigued by their bags for quite some time, but after seeing MacGenie with one of these at PodCon, and seeing MacSparky’s Sling bag at the same event, I was convinced I wanted the bag.

I’ve been using PushBullet and Pushover to do this - I’ve tried both and they’re both good, but they’re designed for notifications and the URLs triggering automations is not something it was designed to do. Additionally PushBullet still hasn’t been updated for the iPhone X(s) screen format. Pushover has been updated more recently, but it still doesn’t quite match up with what Pushcut can do as a dedicated app.
