What's on Serenity's Yosemite Dock right now

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/whats-serenitys-yosemite-dock-right-now' title="What's on Serenity's Yosemite Dock right now"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/12/serenity-os-x-yosemite-dock-hero.jpg?itok=7R-Uptn6' />[/url]</p> <p>First things first: Left-side Dock, forever. I know there are some people who prefer having their Dock along the bottom of the screen, but when you're rocking an 11-inch Air, a bottom Dock takes up valuable screen space.</p> <p>And to borrow from the Doctor: side Docks are cool.</p> <!--break--> <p>When it comes to the 11-inch Air, screen real estate is at a premium, so I tend to use multiple desktops in Spaces — each with their own desktop picture, naturally.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/whats-serenitys-yosemite-dock-right-now' title="What's on Serenity's Yosemite Dock right now"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/12/os-x-yosemite-whats-on-serenity-dock.jpg?itok=KDcPmJ3N' />[/url]</p> <p>The one pictured above is my primary desktop (with a fun little Guardians/Star Wars mashup illustration from Matt Ferguson as my desktop picture). My other desktops have variations of the system wallpaper, for screenshot purposes.</p> <p>I also use a ton of little menubarlet applications, most of which would go in my Dock if they weren't already hiding up in the menu bar. Those include <strong>Cloud</strong> for quick uploads; <strong>Knock</strong> for remote Mac unlock; <strong>1Password</strong> for all my passwords; <strong>Fantastical</strong> for quick calendaring; <strong>Dropbox</strong> for file storage; and <strong>CloudClip</strong> for wirelessly syncing my clipboard between my Macs and iOS devices.</p> <p>My MacBook Air Dock itself is organized into the following sections: Web, Writing, Communication, Photos, eBooks, and Music. I've got plenty of other apps I'll launch from either the menu bar or Spotlight, but these are the ones I use most often (and also the ones I find myself dragging files to fairly regularly).</p> <p>I have both <strong>Safari</strong> and <strong>Chrome</strong> at the ready to accomplish different Web-surfing tasks: Safari is my browser of choice for most day-to-day activities, while I use Chrome for Google Hangout meetings and any other work-related multimedia. (YouTube, Dropbox, et cetera.)</p> <p>On the writing side, <strong>BBEdit</strong> takes the crown: I've used many Markdown-inspired text editors, but I always come back to BBEdit. It's smooth, smart, and its Dropbox sync between computers is excellent.</p> <p><strong>Mail</strong>, <strong>Slack</strong>, <strong>Messages</strong>, <strong>Skype</strong>, and <strong>Tweetbot</strong> make up my communications suite. I've tried several third-party email clients, but as of yet haven't found any I like as much as Mail. (<strong>Airmail</strong> isn't bad, though.) Slack is iMore's central chatroom, while Messages, Skype, and Tweetbot get used for work as well as roller derby, The Incomparable, and more. I can't say I'm thrilled with Skype — is anyone? — but it does what I need it to do for now. Tweetbot is my go-to Twitter client for both my personal Twitter account as well as management of the iMore twitter account.</p> <p>I rely on <strong>Napkin</strong>, <strong>Pixelmator</strong>, and <strong>Photoshop</strong> for all my iMore-related screenshot and photography-editing needs — and a little bit for my personal use, too. I've had a long history with Photoshop, but I'm trying to use Pixelmator more and more as my primary image editor. Its Handoff support with iOS devices is excellent, and it's a real selling point for me at present.</p> <p>Next we've got my ebook tools suite, currently <strong>iBooks Author</strong> and <strong>Vellum</strong>. I use iBooks Author for when we want multimedia content and widgets in our ebooks, while Vellum is my all-purpose tool for working on our cross-platform versions.</p> <p>Finally, <strong>iTunes</strong> lurks at the bottom, like the lurking lurker it is. I'd like to take iTunes out of my dock, but I still use it a bit too much to do so. I stream my music library via iTunes Match to my 11-inch MacBook Air to save space, and iTunes is currently the only way I can do that. I do often listen to <strong>Beats Music</strong>, but there's no dedicated app for that; instead, I open up a Chrome window.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29033"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/419ff246/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
