It would seem, based on the frequency of me recommending GrandPerspective to clients, that I’m not alone! Nov 11, 2013 - GrandPerspective for Mac.

Looking back on my article on, whilst I was planning it I struggled to find 5 things to write about. Yet almost as soon as I’d committed it for posting, I came up with another 5 products I use all the time as part of my daily routine. So, focussing on how I work, I tried to list all the little tools I’d acquired over the years and write about those that I continue to use on a frequent basis. I think that most of these bits of software have come from personal recommendations from friends, colleagues (past and present), different podcasts I listen to and articles that I’ve read on a multitude of sources across the web. Of course, there are many many more that have been tried and subsequently forgotten, removed or replaced by something better. That’s why this second batch are possibly better, because they didn’t stand out as tools any more, because, at least in my eyes, they’ve become almost a ubiquitous part of the Mac or iOS experience. 1Password (Mac & iOS, various prices).

1Password 4 for iOS We all hate having to remember passwords right? Historically we’ve tended to use the same one or two passwords across all our online accounts (often the same word with an ever-increasing number at the end when we’re forced to change it). But with frequent news reports of Web sites being hacked it’s become more obvious to most people that we shouldn’t use the same password for all our different accounts, especially those that are linked in some way to our financial information. But now that virtually all of us are doing 50% or more of our shopping online, from a huge number of different Web sites, how do you keep track of all these passwords?

Apple’s answer was to add functionality to Mavericks and iOS 7 that allows you to save your account details in iCloud. All great, except if you choose to use a browser other than Safari on any of your devices, or even (shock, horror) you also use a PC. This new feature wasn’t however that new because 1Password (and there are competitors) had been offering similar, no, better, functionality for quite some time!

1Password makes it convenient to be secure across all the major web browsers and platforms by offering a painless way of creating, storing and entering passwords. Every one can be unique and strong (1Password even gives you a strong password generator tool) and they are all protected by a single, master password (get it?). To enable you to access your password information wherever you are working, 1Password is capable of synchronising your password file to Dropbox. There have been previous reports of Dropbox’s own security being breached, but don’t let that worry you greatly – the password file is encrypted using your master password before being saved to any of the possible file sharing services.

Using Dropbox means that you can get to your password data from any web browser (with your master password of course) in the world. You can also save other confidential information within 1Password, PIN’s for your bankcards, passport details etc. For easy access while you’re out and about from your iPhone. Again, without your master password (which you probably realise now, also needs to be nice and strong) somebody acquiring your phone will not have access to any of this information.

Definitely a product I couldn’t live without now, I have too many accounts in different places with separate passwords that I’d have no chance of remembering without a utility like this. As I often say with utilities like this, buy the Mac version straight from the publisher; it’s marginally cheaper, you’ll get quicker updates to the software (they’re not bound by Apple’s occasionally slow approval process) and the upgrade route in future versions will most likely be cheaper.

Flipboard (iOS, free). Flipboard for iOS What’s your first job of the morning? Mine is pretty much always to open up Flipboard and catch up on the overnight news.

By news I don’t mean general headlines, I’m referring more to tech news; new products, software updates and problems that have been reported by users around the world. Often this will be my source of many of the fixes, or at least the nudge to make me research the fixes, for many of the problems our clients report. I guess I’d describe Flipboard as a digital magazine. In reality it aggregates newsfeeds and blog posts from the web into separate magazines for different subjects. So if you have a particular interest in, lets say, carp fishing, there’s a ‘magazine’ for you. When you subscribe to a magazine (you can subscribe to as many as you want), you’re able to flip through the pages upon which there’ll be a number of different articles ‘flipped’ from various online sources (you’ll probably a see a newspaper style headline for each article that can be expanded into a fuller article by touching it).

They may come from newspapers, bloggers, or even from tweets, but they’ll all be related to the subject matter that ‘magazine’ is designed for. The great thing about Flipboard’s material is that it’s generally not your clinical, professional articles from large newspapers; many of the articles are written by independent experts in the field you’re interested in, with more honest (and frankly, less political) reporting. Dropbox (Mac & iOS, free). Dropbox for iOS I’m sure everyone has heard of Dropbox.

Simply, it’s “cloud” storage for your data. It’s a great way of keeping a copy of documents you share between friends or work colleagues, as the Dropbox service on your computer will synchronise copies between all the computers sharing that file.

There are (very) basic facilities to restore old versions of files stored in Dropbox that have come in useful for me previously, but please don’t fall into the dangerous trap of thinking you can use Dropbox as a “cloud” server – security and integrity of your data are less than perfect. With that in mind, I strongly recommend using the service but with one strong warning. There have been several incidents of security being breached at Dropbox, so my advice would be: never store anything there that could be used against you in any way without it being encrypted. Fortunately, many of the services that utilise Dropbox (1Password for instance) encrypt the files it stores before saving to the cloud. By default you get 2GB of storage free with Dropbox, but this can be expanded up to 16GB (500Mb per accepted invite) at no further cost by recommending this service to friends and contacts. Beyond this level, or if you wish to add encryption to your entire online storage, you’re into varying costs depending on your needs.

Grand Perspective (Mac, free). GrandPerspective for Mac I’ve lost track of the number of time I’ve resorted to using this tool to understand why my hard drive is almost full.

It would seem, based on the frequency of me recommending GrandPerspective to clients, that I’m not alone! There’s a couple of different tools available that collect information on what is taking space on your Mac’s hard drive, but only Grand Perspective illustrates this information in a way that makes it obvious what you need to start tidying up. By showing objects (files and folders) as blocks of space across your hard drive, it’s much easier to spot the files or folders that are taking more space than you expect.

With other applications you often get more of a text based report that you have to dig through to find that huge file, rather than have it stand out as large block in the image of your drive usage. This is one of those tools that’s worth running occasionally to see what’s taking up large chunks of storage, and its worth keeping your hard drive pruned from rubbish before it becomes an issue that stops you working. The one thing I’d have to say though, is be careful what you’re deleting! If you don’t know what the file is, contact a professional like ourselves at CHNO before attempting to delete it. Commuter (iOS, free with paid in-app purchases).

Commuter for iOS Strangely, despite going through all my Mac and iOS apps several times to list the tools I thought best, I missed this one several times. Yet I use it every time I travel into London. Commuter is the best timetable application I’ve found for UK public transport. If you want to know the quickest way to get from point A to point B, fire up Commuter and tell it where you need to go, it’ll give you your best routes.

Now I know that there are many apps for doing that, the difference with Commuter is that you get live departure information as well (so if the Circle line is operating less than efficiently, it’ll let you know). Certainly an app I strongly recommend you have on your iPhone, even if you only rarely use trains. The live departure information for London Underground is free at the moment, and a 12 month plan for London Overground and UK Rail is just £2.99. That’s all for today.
