Transcript

You just bought a new MacBook. Here are three free MacBook apps that I wish I knew about sooner. And if I were you, I'd save this video for later. First, TheBoringNotch. This turns your MacBook notch into a fully functional dynamic island. You can control music, view your calendar and events, use it as a file shelf or Airdrop hub, and customize it however you want. It also gets frequent updates, which is a huge plus. Next, ClipGrab. This lets you download videos from YouTube and other sites in seconds. Just paste the link, choose your format and quality, and save it anywhere on your MacBook. Last, Affinity. This is essentially Photoshop without the cost. You can create graphics and edit photos, and it's honestly what I've been using for my thumbnails. And the best part is, it's way easier to use than Photoshop. No subscriptions, no cluttered menus, and you can open it and start creating in minutes. So comment below which of these apps were your favorite, and if this video gets one new follower, I'll make a part two.
