#1PASSWORD FOR MAC REVIEW 2016 UPGRADE#
#1PASSWORD FOR MAC REVIEW 2016 PRO#

Unrelated but a pro tip: Do this for your phone, 'The iOS Shortcut As A Text Expander For Emails.” It’ll change your life, seriously. I don’t use 1Password to auto-generate all my random passwords, but I’m working up to it. I’ve been using it for three weeks now, and it has helped in so many little ways. Setting it up can take a bit of time, but be patient, and soon your passwords will be secure and yet easy to use. (You don’t have to though, you can use Dropbox or iCloud.)

Plus if you use their proprietary service to sync/save, it’s another $2.99 per month. The iOS app is $10, and the accompanying Mac app is $50+. And I’m glad I’ve waited, as the newest version of 1Password is significantly easier to use than when I tried it a few years ago.

So I’m making a change - and upgrade really - and going with 1Password. As much as I harp on systemizing and frequently changing your passwords, I know I should have been using a master password solution long ago.

With that in mind, I finally moved over to 1Password.

Why I’m Considering Bear as a Notes App Replacement (2016).

No more freemium, and the inevitable ads, for me if a better paid alternative is available! Times have changed, and oftentimes paying for an app tends to bring you a more quality product. But if you want to support creators, you should really reconsider your stance on never paying for apps. Actually, all these apps I’m gonna talk about today are paid. If you’re against it, well, Bear ain’t for you. The one downside is that Bear costs money to sync between devices, and while it’s only an annual subscription fee of $14.99 (or $1.49 month-by-month), I know how some people feel about paying for apps. Also, Bear has very nice categorization hashtags, a clean interface, and a Mac app that syncs perfectly - and quickly. I mean, Notes is nice and all, but if you want/need a beautiful icon of a bear’s profile on your iPhone screen, high recommend. First up is Bear, which is just wonderful because it’s a beautiful note taking app, perfect for replacing Notes. These are all utility ones but so far I’ve loved them all. Okay, I’ve got some app recommendations, as usual.
