When I finish writing a piece in Ulysses, I don't wrestle with formatting. I hit Export, choose PDF, and get a perfectly formatted document ready to send to clients or professors.

When I find code in a tutorial image or GitHub PR screenshot, I use TextSniper to grab the text without retyping. Hit my hotkey, snap a photo of the code, and paste it into my editor.

When I need to capture a quick product walkthrough, I use Capto to record directly without leaving my workflow. I can mark up the recording in real-time and export a polished demo in seconds. Saves me from opening multiple apps.

Coming home from a long trip with thousands of photos across a phone, a camera, and maybe a partner's device is the kind of mess most people put off forever. The library grows, duplicates pile up, filenames like IMG_4471.JPG tell you nothing, and finding "that sunset shot from day three" becomes impossible. This workflow takes a chaotic dump of vacation photos and turns it into a sorted, searchable, deduplicated library in an afternoon, using the EXIF data that's already inside every photo, so the work is mostly automated.

When I'm preparing screenshots for blog posts, I drag 20+ PNGs into Permute and convert them all to compressed JPG in one go. Saves 10 minutes of manual work.

When I'm creating tutorial videos, I stop mid-recording in Capto to draw arrows, highlight buttons, and add text. This saves me from doing it in a separate editing app later.

When I finish recording a demo or vlog, I drag the video into VidCap and it auto-generates captions in 30 seconds. I can edit them, adjust timing, and export a caption-ready video.

When I'm sharing a screenshot of code or a dashboard with teammates, I use CleanShot's blur tool to instantly hide API keys, email addresses, or passwords. Takes two seconds, no Photoshop needed.

When I need to screenshot a long webpage or document, I use CleanShot X's scroll capture to grab the entire thing in one frame. No more stitching screenshots together.
