TimeMachineEditor is a software for macOS that lets you change the default one-hour backup interval of Time Machine. You can change the interval or create a more sophisticated scheduling (see screenshots below).

This is useful if you don’t need to backup every hour and don’t want the performance penalty. This is also especially useful if you manipulate lots of data within one hour as you would spend the whole day backing up.

If you use both Quicklook and Typescript, you've probably been frustrated by the blank previews you get for .ts and .tsx files. Thankfully there's an easy, if fiddly, fix.

Bunch is a little macOS utility that sits in your Dock (or your Menu Bar). It doesn’t have any windows. When you right/ctrl-click the Dock icon (or click the menu item), it gives you a list of “Bunches” you can select from, each one launching a group of applications that you configure. Bunches are just easily-edited text files which can be configured to open apps, specific files in an app, and even web pages in your default browser. For the Power Users, It also allows advanced scripting, system commands, and integration via URL handler.

I love the Touch Bar. That's why I was so upset that Apple just sat on its useless user interface. So, inspired by Vas3k's popular blog post 203 on the subject, and determined to make good on the promise that Apple broke, I've spent a (ridiculous) amount of time reworking the foundations of the Touch Bar into GoldenChaos-BTT: a true general purpose Touch Bar UI with support for tons of apps that's intuitive enough to make you love your Touch Bar again - or, more likely, for the first time.

15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is my main work tool for more than a year. I use it every single day, all day long — to code, to process photos, and to write my blog posts, of course.

Back in 2017, I thought the Touch Bar had a vast potential to become engaging and helpful. I believed developers might support it in their applications. I was hoping there was a use for it. A year has passed, applications have been updated, but as a Pro user of Pro 15-inch laptop with a 3K Euro price tag, I do declare now — the Touch Bar still remains the useless shit and there is no hope Apple will fix it.

ShowyEdge displays a color bar at the top edge of the screen depending on the current input source.

Mozilla finally added an environment variable to control this behavior. Unfortunately, configuring this environment variable in a way that applies to the overall graphical system, rather than merely a bash session, is a bit difficult. This used to be done via /etc/launchd.conf, but macOS dropped support for this in v10.10. Fortunately, systemctl offers a .plist file system which can define run programs and define system-wide environment variables at boot, so I published this working .plist file, with instructions for installing and removing it:

This is awesome for me, because I like to launch my web browser from anywhere in the GUI with Control+Alt+G via QuickSilver, which of course includes the Alt modifier that Firefox tends to interpret as signaling safe mode.

As a regular Mac OS X user, I have a love/hate relationship with the "Open With" contextual menu. Sometimes, it has just what I need. Other times, it's often packed with unnecessary or duplicate items, or missing the app I want to open the file up with the most.

Unfortunately, the "Open With" right-click menu does not have its own preferences, so there is no one way to fix all of these issues. But with a little work and determination, you can finally get the "Open With" menu exactly how you want, for every filetype on your Mac.
