@sigmund Sorry to hear about your health challenges. Good it’s not too serious. I look forward to listening to next week’s show…and the gap will give me the chance to catch up.

@sindresorhus My first impression is I like them. It would be good to have a way to turn them off for those who don’t. Perhaps there’s a new Menu Icon Hider app in your future (if that’s even technically possible).

I just published a new, in-depth course on Learn . 🛫 It was fun to put this together; I used a past trip to Africa as the basis for the case study for this travel-focused course. I'm happy with how it turned out!

If you wanted to take a screenshot of the floating toolbar for Screenshot.app on macOS, how would you go about it? Thanks to @tage, @waynedixon, @oetgrunnen, and @timstringer, I found many ways to do it! Thanks, Mastodon!

@podfeet You're very welcome, Allison. Good you were able to get this working!

@podfeet Here's what I did:

1. Launched the Screenshot app.
2. Press ⇧⌘3 to take a full-screen screenshot using CleanShot X.
3. Pressed ⎋ to get rid of the 📷 icon.

I hope this helps!

@podfeet I was able to take a screenshot of Screenshot using CleanShot X. Specifically, I did a full-screen screenshot and cropped it down.

@rosenz I look forward to checking this out! FYI: There's a typo in the description "document tutles".

I attended my first-ever horse jumping event today!

The folks at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley (Vancouver area) were very welcoming, and the horse jumping was impressive. I found it fascinating to witness the connection between the horse and their rider.

Today's event also gave me the opportunity to hone my photography skills, practicing some techniques I learned from a video tutorial from a while back.

@sindresorhus I just installed the TestFlight version and did a quick test. Gifski made a great first impression!

Supercharge by @sindresorhus continues to impress! The latest update allows Apple Shortcuts to be added to the menu.

Here's my current setup:

① Favourite Shortcuts
② Actions
③ Toggles

You can get Supercharge directly from the developer (sindresorhus.com/supercharge) or through Setapp (setapp.com).

Myke joined me on Learn OmniFocus LIVE to show how MindStudio can generate OmniFocus tasks, drawing on user-supplied data sources (e.g., the OmniFocus database, manual, and TaskPaper documentation).

I like that MindStudio "AI Agents" can be built using a wide range of AI models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Llama) and that it can tap into the power of these models using credit-based pricing.

I'm working on more AI-related content for Learn OmniFocus. Stay tuned!

Mic Drop is an excellent Mac app that makes it easy to mute/unmute your mic in any app. I was happy to learn that Mic Drop now has Stream Deck plugins, including a Toggle plugin with “On Air” and “Off Air” indicators.

@tchaten I think it’s there to remind you of the meaning of life. 😉
