To get started, you’ll first need to download Dash (macOS).
kapeli.com/dash (30 day trial, also available via #Setapp)

Then, download some of the “main” docsets & cheatsheets. Support for community and custom docsets coming soon!

After you download docsets, you do not need to open or run Dash to use this MCP server.

From there, add the #MCP server in your client/IDE settings using the instructions in above GitHub repo and you’ll be ready to go! #ModelContextProtocol

Setapp accueille ScreenFloat et trois autres applications Mac dlvr.it/TL8zdv #Setapp #ScreenFloat

then you have little Applets and Utilities like swiss army knives for chat and tools that can use local compute LLMs or cloud foundation models as well. #SetApp has one i use called #BoltAI and it's exactly what i said - a swiss army knife. image classification, search, prompt library of all manner of tasks you might need to quickly get a query and response from whatever models you use.

considering it's included in my #setApp subscription it was a slam dunk and i use it often.

#macOS #AI
2/2

this is BoltAI's chat view with history. you can group them by topic or project, in this screenshot i'm reviewing a conversation i had with (o3? gemini 2.5?) a foundation model about my project to let people create their own curriculum for ASAT if they're using psychedelics or ketamine for major depressive disorder. in multiple published studies this exercise extends the "halo" of neuroplasticity another 30 days and i think it could help a lot of people in my field.boltAI has some commands for quick one-shot actions and operations like "summarize this youtube video" (uses captions) or "rephrase this" or "what the fuck is this" and an image, or attach some PDFs and say "what does all of this even mean bruh" etc.boltAI has a prompt library, and a commands/actions roster but it also has Assistants which chatbox calls CoPilots, ChatGPT calls "GPTs" (right? i only use their API) they're not like sillytavern character cards but the end result is similar, this is the persona system prompt for when i think a situation calls for the 10th Doctor, which is pretty often. this is an abbreviated version not the one that talked me down from a dreaded email in Gemini ;)of course it's me using it so it has to support local compute and inference. i run a few LLMs in the house full time and as needed, and in this screenshot i'm rolling down the list of models available to me on my ollama server. there's like 90 in there at the moment, many of them i haven't spent much time with yet.

then i have another 30-40 in LM Studio which exposes the moe=<count> in a nice way that is retained so for all my mixture-of-experts models with experts > 2 are served by LM Studio because i don't know how to change parameters for number of experts in ollama >< some of the models are named after specific projects or purposes cuz i built them and i obfuscated the names.

that #antinote app for #macOS is actually included free in a #SetApp subscription! 🆒

@briankrebs are you by any chance acquainted with the biggest productivity boost an OS update has given me since MultiFinder in System 6.0.5(?): #StageManager?

i use cmd+` all the time to cycle windows in foreground app. but can pluck individual ones from the sidebar? i also use a layer on my keyboard for cycling tabs/panes/windows with two keys.

many people like some window management type tools for #macOS (also in comments) there's at least a couple included in a #SetApp subscription, too!

I'm lucky enough to be travelling at the moment while still doing some work. I wish the developers at #Apple would get out more too because the ungodly amount of data the "Cloud Sync" service tries to download as soon as I'm on any WiFi network shows they hold other places with public/slower/limited internet access in contempt.

Fortunately #SetApp bundles the #TripMode utility I've used for years to cut off it's oxygen!

if you're interested in these agent AI platforms that use screenpipe and shoulder surf you all day long you may be more into Rewind for iOS which creates a timeline from browsing and screenshots that is actually quite good although the app is crash prone on my devices due to excessive compulsive capture.

also Timings.app (in #setapp) uses ScreenTime to monitor your activities during the workday or events across all iCloud devices without skimming your monitors and mics all day long. 🤷

I really like for simple blog posting from the . It doesn't hold a candle to the /#OpenLiveWriter apps on , but I don't spend as much time sequestered away in the back room where the ultra-technology lives and this app serves the minimal purpose I need it for.

I've been taking another look at . Damn it. I don't have the money to spare on a sub right now but it includes MarsEdit, and some other Mac stuff that I like. Hmm.

App Review: Setapp, The Best App Subscription For MacOS And iOS

As the famous saying goes, “there’s an app for that”. However, finding the best app that fits your work style or what you need to be most productive can be quite the challenge. This was and actually still is very true for me since I recently moved from using Windows to MacOS full-time. Good news is, this is where Setapp comes into play.

What Exactly Is SetApp?

What is Setapp you ask? While I’ll give you a lot more details below, Setapp by MacPaw is a subscription platform that gives you access to well over 240 premium MacOS and iOS apps for one small monthly or yearly price. This allows you to try and use hundreds of apps without having to pay for each individual app.

The cool thing about Setapp is, they offer you a slew of apps from all sorts of categories from productivity, task management, creativity all the way to coding, finance, Mac hacks, maintenance and much more.

MacPaw achieves this by setting up a licensing deal with these app developers who are paid royalties based on user downloads/usage. Setapp is legal and puts you as a consumer in the driver’s seat, allowing you to receive as much (or as little) value on your monthly subscription.

Setapp launched in its first stable release in January of 2017. The subscription model has been a big hit with consumers amassing over tens of thousands of subscribers.

Licensing And Pricing

Currently you can subscribe to Setapp via a monthly or yearly subscription. Obviously, like is the case in most instances, subscribing yearly is going to be slightly cheaper and Setapp is no different.

- Free 7-day trial period (no credit card required for sign-up)
- Monthly subscription fee for Mac (1 device) only is $9.99+ (no-commitment)
- Monthly subscription fee for Mac (1 device) and iOS (4 devices) is $12.49+ (no-commitment)
- Annual subscription of $107.88+ ($8.99+/month)
- 50% discount for students who prove eligibility
- VAT is charged by those countries who abide by this tax (does not apply to US customers)
- All subscription pricing includes usage on two Macs (educational plans only include support for one Mac)
- Additional Macs can be added to one account for $4.99/month (+VAT) each for up to 3 additional Apple computers

You Mentioned A 7-Day Free Trial

That is correct as MacPaw offers a 7-day free trial without even needing a credit card. Setapp’s trial offers unlimited and unrestricted use of the entire library of apps within the 7 day period. There are no hard limitations set like there is with the free trial of their CleanMyMac app. This allows you to give the service a try to see if it’s something you enjoy and would actually use before paying anything at all.

Justifying The Cost Of Setapp

It is true that $9.99 per month isn’t a huge price to pay for a monthly service cost. That equals out to be just 33 cents per day for those of you that need it broken down a bit more and to really explain how good of a deal this is.

Given that there are over 240 apps offered within the service (with more added each regularly), I can’t possibly give you a complete list of all apps and their pricing if done individually. Instead, I will go through five premium software components for Mac, which are included in Setapp and show you how valuable this service truly is, at least to me.

CleanMyMac X – $39.99/yr
Gemini 2 – $19.99/yr
Disk Drill – $39.99
Coderunner 3 – $19.99
iThoughtsX – $49.99

Total costs of the five popular apps via the Mac App Store: $169.95
Total costs of 12-months of Setapp membership: $119.88

Now those calculations were based on only five Mac apps out of dozens offered through Setapp. Keep in mind, some apps like CleanMyMac X often require charge upgrade fees when moving from one version to a newer one. Setapp subscribers get to use the latest versions of available software without any hidden costs. Plus, depending on your subscription service, for just a couple of bucks more, you’re also allowed to use this on multiple devices, not just one single device.

Is It Easy To Install/Uninstall An App?

MacPaw made it very simple to do both of these. It’s as simple as clicking a couple of buttons which I will provide the full steps below.

How to install an app via Setapp:

  • Open Setapp
  • Navigate to the application that you are interested in
  • Click on the ‘Install’ button
  • Wait for the installation to complete
  • Use finder or browse your applications folder to open your application for unrestricted use

How to uninstall an app via Setapp:

  • Navigate to the Setapp application that you want to uninstall through Setapp
  • Click the dropdown menu under the ‘Open’ button
  • Click ‘Uninstall”
  • Choose ‘Uninstall Completely’ or ‘Remove Application’

Final Thoughts

To me, Setapp is much more than just a subscription. It’s a service that allows me to test new apps before purchasing them for a higher price. This is extremely important to me since as I stated early on, I just recently switched from Windows to MacOS and am still learning what apps are useful and needed for the way I do things.

Invite Link To Get One Month Free

If you feel you’re ready to dive in and give Setapp a try, you can use the code CLIFF30 and unlock yourself an extended 30-day trial and instantly gain access to over 240 apps to use on your Mac or iOS device, or possibly even both!

An image for the SetApp subscription service. There are blue diamonds in the background and lighter colored diamonds make up the logo and the word SetApp is in a white font.A screenshot of a Setapp application page shows a dark-themed interface displaying various Mac applications categorized into collections: "Get Mac essentials," "AI toolkit," and "Digital security toolkit." Each application is represented by an icon and a brief description, including its name, a percentage rating, and the platforms it supports (e.g., Mac, iOS, Web). The collections include tools for screenshots, text extraction, menu bar personalization, file management, AI-powered writing and image editing, and more. A search bar and a notification bell are visible at the top. The overall style is clean and modern.

The hype is real, it turns out. After spending some legitimate time downloading and using a number of apps from #Setapp, I feel pretty satisfied with my monthly subscription.

Here are some of the apps I've been using on my Mac and what led me to take a closer look at Setapp in the first place:
