An Introduction to Keyboard Maestro

Keyboard Maestro is so powerful that we’re going to spend a few days here looking at the application’s features, play with some of the productivity tools baked in to the app, create some macros of our own, create new keyboard shortcuts to trigger those macros, create palettes to trigger macros with the click of a button, and gain a solid understanding of just how powerful creating a few macros can be in helping you simplify repetitive tasks.

Following is a short list of just a few of the things you can do with Keyboard Maestro:

The Fitbit Versa Lite is a health and fitness smartwatch with a changeable band. There are a number of third-party bands out there designed to go with each of the colorways available for the Versa Lite. This list showcases some of the best bands you can buy for the Mulberry Aluminum Fitbit Versa Lite. Not all of these bands are the particular shade of purple that Fitbit calls Mulberry per se, and not all of them show the purple Fitbit in the photo. But all of these options will go beautifully with the Mulberry Aluminum Fitbit Versa Lite.

Milanese style

Find-MyWay Mesh Stainless Steel Bracelet

Staff Favorite

I’m a big fan of Apple’s Milanese Loop-style bands. They are comfortable, adjustable, and can be dressed up or down. The metal mesh allows air circulation. This one comes in an array of colors, including Deep Purple which is very similar to Fitbit’s Mulberry shade.

When you compare it to Pokémon GO this event is pretty subpar

We all need to remember that Harry Potter: Wizards Unite does not exist in a vacuum. This isn’t Niantic’s first rodeo or even second, this is its third Augmented Reality game, and as such, a lot of the slack I would normally give a company is used up.

Wizards Unite had its first ”Community day” style event, called a Task Force Emergency, on June 29, 2019, and by all reports, it did not excite people in the way Niantic may have hoped. There are a lot of people including us here at iMore who found the whole event to be something of a non-starter.

Comparisons have to be made

There is no getting around it, everything Wizards Unite tries to do will be compared to Pokémon GO. It’s inevitable and not really a bad thing. Pokémon is one of the largest mobile games of all time and is the direct predecessor to Wizards Unite. When I look at the events and general gameplay of Wizards Unite I expect them to be a…

Best Answer: Currently, Super Mario Maker 2 only allows you to upload 32 levels for others to play online.

Building Bros.: Super Mario Maker 2 ($60 at Amazon)
A touch extra: Super Mario Maker 2 + Nintendo Switch Online Bundle ($70 at Amazon)
Is 32 uploads enough?

For many upset players, the answer is a resounding no, but this will really depend on how you play the game. Being able to share 32 courses will be plenty for gamers who prefer playing other players’ creations rather than making their own. The players who spend hours crafting unique course masterpieces will find the cap incredibly limiting.

When the original Super Mario Maker game first came out on Wii U it also had an upload cap of only 10, but players could increase their upload amount up to 100 if other gamers rated their levels highly. At the moment, it doesn’t seem like anything to this effect will be implemented in Super Mario Maker 2, but don’t discount Nintendo just yet.

Nintendo has been known to make signific…

Despite the size of your iPhone 7 Plus’ battery, you may find it’s not lasting through the day, especially if you’re a power user. Carrying around an external battery pack can be cumbersome, so why not streamline the process and grab a battery case instead. It’ll probably bulk things up a bit, but better bulky than a brick.

This case has a whopping 8500mAh battery, which more than doubles your battery life. Four LED indicator lights keep you apprised of its charge level. VOOE’s case also doesn’t have a ton of additional bulk, is easy to install, and comes in red, pink, and black color options.

Earlier this week, the news broke that Jony Ive is leaving Apple. He’s creating his own company, LoveFrom. But, LoveFrom is taking on Apple as a primary client. To figure out what all that means for Apple now and going into the future, I sat down to chat with John Gruber from Daring Fireball and The Talk Show.

Rene Ritchie: Thanks for joining me John. So, what was your initial reaction to the news?

Gruber: I think it’s eyewash. He’s actually starting a company with Marc Newson. LoveFrom is a questionable name. I do think they’re going to work together for many years to come. They’ve already worked together on a bunch of things, including bringing Marc Newson in to design a bunch of Apple Watch straps.

Including using his, to me, iconic design for the Sport Band, that little tuck-under thing. It really comes from, what was it called, the Ike-…

What differences are there between the three battery case models of Mophie’s Juice Pack Access?

Mophie’s Juice Pack Access battery cases are compatible with all versions of the iPhone made from X and on. This includes X, XS, XS Max, and XR. For the most part, the cases are the same, but the length of the battery and the colors the cases come in differ depending on the model.

iPhone XS/X – Cases are available in deep red, gold, navy, and black. With this model, you’ll get up to 76 hours of music playing, 25 hours of talk time, 17 hours of video streaming, or 15 hours of net surfing.

Everyone uses their phone, but for some of us, our phones are our lifeline because they allow us to respond to urgent business calls and emails. Thus, many of us obsessively maintain a full charge on our phone. However, our phones aren’t meant to be at 100% battery all day, and maintaining a maximum charge is detrimental to their long-term battery life. That’s why you need a charging cable that will prolong your battery health, and this $28 Charby Sense cable fits the bill.

The Charby Sense is a smart charging cable that can detect when your phone is at a full charge or not. Once you reach a full charge, the Charby Sense will automatically stop charging to prolong your phone’s battery life. Additionally, the Charby Sense acts as a quick charger when connected to your laptop; by using Qualcomm QC 3.0, you can charge your phone twice as fast with the click of a button, and the Charby Sense’s LED indicator will let you know when the quick charge is enabled.
