In daily digital life, there are always people curiously asking about various software tools. Today I would like to recommend four treasure software that can make you more efficient and happy.
In 2022, the browser field will suddenly emerge, and Arc will become a eye-catching dark horse. At that time, the author was working in a browser team, and Arc attracted great attention from the leadership.
Arc revolutionizes the way browsers are used with its unique Space feature. Whether you are writing code, doing self-media, entertaining or playing games, you can create your own Space and switch easily anytime and anywhere. Different websites can be collected under each space, and theme colors can be set individually. No matter which space you switch to, the frequently used websites that are fixed at the top will not change.
In addition, Arc's command panel shortcut keys are also very convenient. Common operations such as switching pages can be completed with one click without the need for a mouse. Its AI capabilities are also quite complete, and it's completely free. For example, you can summarize page content by hovering your mouse over a link. The author first tried Arc to "find out the enemy's situation". Because it supports importing bookmarks from other browsers, I started using it. Unexpectedly, after using it for a long time, I found that I couldn't export bookmarks, as if "it's easy to get in, but hard to get out". But even so, Arc's many advantages are hard to let go.
The window that pops up when you press the shortcut key anytime and anywhere is Recast, which contains all available AI functions. When you usually browse English web pages, you can directly let it summarize the content; when you chat with foreign colleagues while working remotely, it can help you improve your English level. For example, "Don't mess with me" in broken English. After selecting them all, select the polishing function through Recast, and your expression will instantly become polite and decent. In Recast, I have never used a large language model client such as ChatGPT.
The most basic function of Recast is as a launcher, which can quickly launch applications. You can also set shortcut keys for each application to quickly switch between code browsers, note-taking tools, etc., completely getting rid of dependence on the mouse. It even replaces many other tool applications such as Find Clipboard History. For programmers, this function is quite practical. Its plug-in store is rich and diverse, and can be linked with various applications such as Notion and Arc. Currently, Recast only supports Mac systems. A Windows version is said to be released soon. Windows users who can't wait can try the similar software Works first.
I've tried several note-taking software since college and finally settled on Obsidian. The picture shows the growth process of all notes. Each dot represents a note and is connected to each other through lines, giving a sense of accomplishment.
Obsidian's plugin ecosystem is extremely rich. If you want to implement any functionality, just install a plugin. Whether you're painting a picture or changing a cool theme, it's easy to DIY. For note-taking software, data control is crucial. After all, everyone hopes to still be able to record notes forty or fifty years later, and cloud storage also has risks. It is difficult to guarantee that a small note-taking software company can survive for forty or fifty years. However, Obsidian's notes are stored locally, and you can choose to back them up through a network disk or other methods. I chose GitHub as a backup, as if I could leave them as a "family heirloom" for future generations.
The above are the four software recommended for everyone, hoping to bring convenience and improvement to everyone’s digital life. Remember to like and collect it, and you are also welcome to share your experience of using these software in the comment area!
