WORKFLOW GUIDES

Choose by the job.

Different tools have different strengths. These guides focus on the work, where data goes and the handoff you need.

Choosing a screen recording workflow for Mac

A product demo, a bug report and an internal walkthrough need different amounts of editing. Choose by the final clip and the handoff you need.

Choosing notes for meetings, knowledge and visual work

Notes can be a long-term knowledge base, a record of a conversation, or context attached to a file. Start with where the note comes from and what you will do with it next.

Markdown on Mac: choose the context around the file

A Markdown file is portable text. The choice of app is about the editing, linking, search and project context you need around it.

Choosing a local image library for Mac

A folder full of references can need an organizer, a metadata workstation or a creative workbench. Local storage alone does not tell you which one fits.

Choosing dictation: where the audio is processed

Recognition, cleanup, keyboard behavior and processing location all affect dictation. Test the words you actually use in the apps you dictate into.
