Play a Youtube video and you're looking at a 20% load on this 2011 MBA. It hammers the CPU, sending the fans into overdrive and guzzling the battery.
DOES MIGHTYTEXT WORK ON IPHONE MAC
It gets you the best versions of MightyText or PushBullet for receiving desktop notifications on the Mac (and dismissing them from there), and sending text messages from it.īut Chrome sucks on macOS (same for other browsers on the same engine such as Opera). That gets you the browser tab, bookmark and history syncing which I find really useful.
DOES MIGHTYTEXT WORK ON IPHONE ANDROID
The sort of low level automation that Apple doesn't allow, and slightly more battery intensive things they avoid in order to keep the battery small and the device thin.īut if you're on Android you're going to want to run Chrome.

On the system side of things, I like being able to do things like bring up a (third party) car interface whenever it senses I'm in the car (auto connection to bluetooth stereo). You can get this by running the Google app for iOS but it's nowhere near as accurate (as it doesn't enable the GPS if it detects you're walking around like Google Fit does). This isn't one for tinfoil hatters and a lot get squicked out at seeing much how your entire life is recorded, but I love how at any time I can look at a neat little map of everywhere I've been. The biggest risk is that they'll fall out enough to ban each other in some way. I'm just curious how many have this level of crossover between two extremely bitter rivals. Overall the combination works out pretty well for me. But the open tabs only get pushed like every 15 minutes or so which is quite annoying. (iOS only allows notification access via Bluetooth LE to save that weedy battery).īrowser syncing would be better if Chrome was any good on Macs I subscribe to Xmarks right now and that solves bookmark and open tab syncing (the latter needed a tweak to work in the latest Safari). The remote SMS was extremely useful, but MightyText does the same thing on Android AND lets you view and dismiss notifications too which is even better! I want to love iPhones and admire the way they tightly guard your battery life, but have found that "just not obsessing about having the thinnest phone ever, and having a decent battery instead" gives better results, even with things like MightyText running. When I had an iPhone 6, I found that I very very very rarely used the app continuity. A big temptation for an iPhone would be when owning a Mac, you have all the continuity stuff. It only knew (from wifi) that I'd been to work. I ran my iPhone 5S for a couple of days with the Google app and allowed it to log my history and was disappointed that it didn't keep track of my lunchtime walk. Location history is both scary and awesome. Because I've read their Privacy Policy and understand how they do things, I haven't fallen for the "Google sells all ur dataz!" FUD and find their ability to deduce so much about me fascinating (if very important to keep secure - all of my computer and smartphone accounts are thoroughly under lock and key).
DOES MIGHTYTEXT WORK ON IPHONE FREE
Its cloud services seem so much quicker and more reliable than iCloud, the Music service is free and fully cloud-hosted without any of the antiquated iTunes nonsense and the subscription option serves to enhance rather than to confuse you. Naturally, this doesn't have the same dissonance as my MacBook - it's a Google device, a Google OS and runs Google applications and services 100%. Google/Huawei Nexus 6P as my mobile phone daily driver. IPad Mini 2 for all my iOS needs (I do also have a second hand iPhone 5S for dabbling with) I have the Google apps running via Safari as applications by using an app called "Fluid" which lets you create standalone applications from websites. Gmail for mail, Google Calendars and Contacts rather than iCloud, replaced Notes with Google Keep, replaced Photos with Google Photos. MacBook Air running OS X - browser is Safari, because Chrome is terrible on MacBooks (has the CPU fan going a lot, drains the battery) but I use Google's services. Right now my setup (of what I use most of anyway, ignoring my desktop) is: I've changed things around constantly in a quest for perfection and a little bit of boredom.
