Anigu waxaan ahay taageere weyn oo ka mid ah qaar ka mid ah barnaamijyada caadiga ah ee Mac OS^{(a big fan of some of Mac OS’ default apps)} laakiin sida wax kasta oo kale oo internetka ah, waxaa jira qalabyo iyo barnaamijyo software kuwaas oo si ka sii fiican, dhaqso badan, iyo karti badan u qaban kara hawlaha MacOS . Aad baannu uga niyad jabi lahayn haddii aanaan kuu tilmaamin.

Marka la barbar dhigo qaar ka mid ah bloatware-yada ay xirmooyinka Windows ku leeyihiin nidaamka hawlgalka, Mac OS 'u dhiganta runtii aad ayey u wanaagsan yihiin. Xaaskayga ayaa dhawaan soo iibsatay laptop cusub oo Windows ah waxaanan haysanay shaqo cadaab ah oo aan ka saarnay Avira anti-virus. Arrimahan kuma helaysid Mac .

Apps-ka Mac ee loogu talagalay waxyaabaha ay ka midka yihiin Boostada^(Mail) , Calendar , Notes , iyo wixii la mid ah waa kuwo degdeg ah oo u qabta shaqada dadka intooda badan. Laakiin qof meel ayaa had iyo jeer heli doona sifo maqan oo ay si degdeg ah ugu baahan yihiin.

Hadday arrintu sidaas tahay, halkan waxaa ah qaar ka mid ah beddelka aad u baahan tahay inaad tixgeliso. Ma daabici kartid apps-yada caadiga ah in kastoo aad ku tuurto gal oo iska illow haddii aadan doonayn inaad isticmaasho.

^{(Replace Mail)}Ku beddel Boostada Mozilla Thunderbird

Anigu ma aan isticmaalin macmiilka iimaylka sannado badan, aniga oo door bidaaya la qaadi karo iyo dabacsanaanta iimaylka ku salaysan mareegaha. Laakin haddii aad wali door bidayso in iimaylkaga lagu soo dejiyo kombayutarka, waxa aad ku fiicnaan lahayd in aad isticmaasho Mozilla Thunderbird.

Thunderbird waxay ku siinaysaa dhammaan waxyaabaha ay Boostu^(Mail) qabato, iyo sidoo kale taageerada akhrinta quudinta RSS iyo fariimaha degdega ah ee Jabber ( XMPP ). Waxa kale oo aad dejin kartaa liisaska boostada iyo dhacdooyinka, oo aad sirin kartaa fariimahaaga.

Ku beddel jadwalka taariikhda ItsyCal

Waxaan si kooban ugu sheegay ItsyCal maqaal dhowaan soo baxay si aanan kor ugu qaadin tirinta ereygayga anigoo wax walba dib u soo celinaya. Waxaan kuu tixraaci doonaa maqaalka kale. ^{(I’ll refer you to the other article. )}Laakiin tan iyo markii aan bilaabay isticmaalka ItsyCal , weligay uma^(never) baahnin isticmaalka jadwalka caadiga ah ee Apple.

Kaliya ku dar dhacdooyinkaaga Google Calendar online, ka dib ItsyCal waxay la mid tahay Google Calendar oo ay tusto dhammaan dhacdooyinkaaga iyo ballamahaaga aaladda yar ee fudud ee ku xigta saacaddaada.

Ku beddel Buugaagta Kindle

Dhammaan iBooks-ka ayaa dhawaan maray xoogaa shaqo rinji ah laakiin ra'yigeyga, Apple ayaa gebi ahaanba ka dhigtay casho eyga oo dhan. Hadda ma qarin kartid buugaagta iCloud iyo interface oo dhan waa qarsoodi.

Waa kuwee war wanaagsan Amazon sababtoo ah qof kasta oo i dareema oo neceb buugaagta cusub ee Apple^{(Apple Books)} , wuxuu u beddelan karaa Amazon's macOS Kindle app . App - ka Kindle - ku aad ayuu u nasinayaa indhaha, waxa uu leeyahay nakhshad aad u yar, oo si dhib la'aan ah ula shaqaysa abka Kindle ee aaladaha iOS.

Runtii waa wax laga xumaado haddii aad Apple^(Apple) ka iibsatay buugaag badan oo ePUB ah , kuwaas oo aan ku socon karin Kindle… .

Ku beddel FaceTime Skype

FaceTime shaqada ayaa qabata oo runtii anfacaya haddii iPhone-kaagu uu ku jiro qolka kale - waxaad taa beddelkeeda uga jawaabi kartaa wicitaannadaada Mac - gaaga FaceTime . Laakiin marka la eego sifooyinka, FaceTime waa laf-dhabar yar. Taasi waa sababta aan u jecelahay inaan raadiyo meel kale si aan u helo app-ka shirarka fiidiyowga ee ka wanaagsan.

Ilaa dhawaan, kama aan labalabayn in aan ku taliyo Zoom beddelka. Laakiin ka dib waxaa yimid bamka in shirkaddu ay ku shaqeyneysay server-ka sirta ah ee Mac-yada isticmaalaha^{(secret web server on users’ Macs )} iyada oo aan fasax laga haysan. Tani waxay la macno tahay daacadnimadaydu hadda waxay ku soo noqotay Skype . Dhunko giraanta Quduuska ah, Skype.

Ku beddel Safari Mozilla Firefox

Waxaan u maleynayaa in tani ay tahay wax badan oo doorbidid shaqsiyeed maadaama ay jiraan taageerayaal badan oo Safari ah oo halkaas jooga. Waxaan ka door bidayaa Mozilla Firefox in ka badan sababtoo ah xulashada ballaaran ee kordhinta waxaanan guud ahaan dareemayaa in Firefox -ka uu ka dhaqso badan yahay oo ka badan yahay sirta- fiirsashada Safari^(Safari) .

Laakiin hey, haddii Safari ay ku sabbeyso doonta in ka badan, ka dibna ku dheji. Xaaskayga waxay jeceshahay^(adores) Safari.

Ku beddel fariimaha WhatsApp

Weligay ma fahmin soo jiidashada fariimaha^(Messages) , marka laga reebo in aan fariimaha SMS^(SMS) -ka bilaashka ah u diro isticmaaleyaasha kale ee Mac iyo iOS. Waxaan doorbidayaa xal iskutallaab ah oo aan qof walba fariin u diri karo, iyadoon loo eegin kumbuyuutarka iyo nidaamka hawlgalka taleefanka.

Saaxiibadayda koofiyadda koofiyadda xidha, xalku waa Signal , oo aan marar badan hore u soo sheegay^{(which I have referred to many times before)} . Kuwa kale, kuwaas oo si caro leh ugu dhawaaqaya “I have nothing to hide!”, midka la isticmaalayo waa WhatsApp, kaas oo leh nooca desktop-ka. ^{(has a desktop version.)}Signal sidoo kale wuxuu leeyahay nooca desktop-ka^{(also has a desktop version)} .

Ku beddel boggaga LibreOffice

Qaybta Apple ee barnaamijyada xafiiska, oo ay hogaaminayaan Pages , waxay ahayd wax aanan waligey run ahaantii ku dhicin. Waxaa laga yaabaa in aan aad ula qabsaday isticmaalka Microsoft Office ama laga yaabee markii aan helay Mac -keygii ugu horreeyay , aad ayaa la ii dajiyay isticmaalka LibreOffice .

Sicirka guud ee bilaashka ah ee bilaashka ah, LibreOffice wuxuu ku siinayaa wax kasta oo aad u qurux badan oo xafiiska Apple uu sameeyo. Waxaa dheer in ay ka fudud tahay oo aad u dhaqso badan tahay in la ordo.

Waxaad ku furi kartaa dukumeentiyada Microsoft Office iyo Apple Office LibreOffice sidoo kale, oo waxaad dib ugu kaydin kartaa qaabab isku mid ah.

Ku beddel Quicktime Player VLC

Anigu waxaan ahay dhab ahaantii taageere weyn oo QuickTime ah , laakiin ^{( a big fan of QuickTime)}ciribteeda^(Heel) weyn ee Achilles waa in aysan ciyaarin nooc kasta oo faylka warbaahinta ah. Labada tusaale waa AVI iyo MKV files. Tani waxay ka dhigaysa QuickTime halkii ay ku xaddidan tahay waxtarkeeda.

Sidaa darteed waxaa la igu qasbay in aan sidoo kale maamulo VLC Player on Mac ah , kaas oo la wareegi kara marka QuickTime turunturoodo. VLC waa awow u ah socodsiinta faylalka warbaahinta halka apps kale aysan kari karin.

Kuwo Aan Ku Dhibin^(Bothered) Inaan Soo^(Suggest) jeediyo Beddelka

• iTunes - sida MacOS Catalina (oo ku eg labada bilood ee soo socda), iTunes qaabkeeda hadda wuxuu si rasmi ah u joojin doonaa inuu u jiro Mac^{(will officially cease to exist for the Mac)} .
• Qaadista Sawirka^{(Image Capture)} - dukumentiyada iskaanka, Sawirka Sawirku^{(Image Capture)} wuxuu u shaqeeyaa si la yaab leh. Waxa kale oo aad ka geli kartaa iskaankaaga adigoo isticmaalaya Horudhac^(Preview) ama xulashada Printers & Scanners ee ^{(Printers & Scanners)}nidaamka Dookhyada^{(System Preferences)} . Markaa halkan uma baahnid in giraangiraha dib loo curiyo.
• Sawirro^(Photos) – waqti aan sidaas u fogeyn, waxaan u doodi lahaa isticmaalka Google Picasa^{(using Google Picasa)} laakiin tan iyo hadda waxaa dilay Google , App-ka Sawirrada^(Photos) Apple waa sidaas oo kale.
• Xusuusin^(Notes) - waxaad isticmaali kartaa Evernote ama Microsoft OneNote , laakiin bilaash maaha. Intaa waxaa dheer, Apple ayaa runtii hagaajisay barnaamijkooda Notes.
• Xusuusin^(Reminders) - tani waxay ahaan jirtay lafo qaawan laakiin iOS 13, Xusuusintu^(Reminders) hadda waa bahal dhammaystiran oo soo baxay xusuusin markaad qof gaar ah fariin u dirto.
• Mashiinka Waqtiga^{(Time Machine)} - Run ahaantii ma garanayo wax ka mid ah mashiinka wakhtiga ugu fiican ee qaybta kaydinta^{(best Time Machine in the backup department)} .
• Kaydka^(Stocks) iyo Xusuus- qorka Codka^{(Voice Memos)} - yaa si daacad ah u isticmaala?

Sida iska cad "ka ugu fiican" waa erey maskaxeed sidaa darteed waxa aan u malaynayo inay ugu fiican tahay waxaa laga yaabaa inaanay ku habboonayn fikradahaaga. Laakiin waxaan rajeyneynaa, maqaalkani wuxuu kaa dhigay inaad ka warqabto qaar ka mid ah fursadaha kale ee jira.

Third-Party Tools That Do Better Than Some Of MacOS’ Default Apps

I am a big fan of some of Mac OS’ default apps but like everything else online, there are tools and software apps that can do MacOS tasks better, faster, and more efficiently. We would be extremely remiss if we didn’t point them out to you.

Compared to some of the bloatware that Windows packages on their operating system, MacOS’ equivalents are really good. My wife recently bought a new Windows laptop and we had a hell of a job uninstalling Avira anti-virus from it. You don’t get these issues with a Mac.

Mac’s default apps for things like Mail, Calendar, Notes, and so forth are snappy and do the job for most people. But someone somewhere will always find a feature missing that they urgently need.

If that’s the case, here are some alternatives for you to consider. You can’t uninstall the default apps though so just throw them in a folder and forget about them if you don’t intend to use them.

Replace Mail With Mozilla Thunderbird

I haven’t used an email client for many years, preferring instead the portability and flexibility of web-based email. But if you still prefer to have your email downloaded to your computer, you would do well to use Mozilla Thunderbird.

Thunderbird gives you all of the things Mail does, as well as support for reading RSS feeds and instant messaging over Jabber (XMPP). You can also set up mailing lists and events, and encrypt your messages.

Replace Calendar With ItsyCal

I briefly mentioned ItsyCal in a recent article so I won’t raise my word count by rehashing everything again. I’ll refer you to the other article. But since starting to use ItsyCal, I have never needed to use Apple’s default calendar.

Simply add your events to Google Calendar online, then ItsyCal syncs with Google Calendar and shows all of your events and appointments in the handy little lightweight widget next to your clock.

Replace Books With Kindle

The whole iBooks recently underwent a bit of a paint-job but in my opinion, Apple has totally made a dog’s dinner of the whole thing. You now can’t hide iCloud books and the whole interface is just hideous.

Which is good news for Amazon because whoever feels like me and hates the new Apple Books, can switch to Amazon’s macOS Kindle app instead. The Kindle app is more relaxing on the eyes, has a more minimalist design, and syncs effortlessly with the Kindle app on iOS devices.

It’s just really annoying if you have bought a lot of ePUB books on Apple though, which are incompatible on Kindle….

Replace FaceTime With Skype

FaceTime gets the job done and is really handy if your iPhone is in the other room – you can instead reply to your calls on your Mac with FaceTime. But in terms of features, FaceTime is a bit bare-bones. That is why I tend to look elsewhere for a better video conferencing app.

Until recently, I would have had no hesitation in recommending Zoom as an alternative. But then came the bombshell that the company was running a secret web server on users’ Macs without their permission. This means my allegiance is now back with Skype. Kiss the Holy ring, Skype.

Replace Safari With Mozilla Firefox

I suppose this is more of a personal preference thing as there are lots of diehard Safari fans out there. I prefer Mozilla Firefox more because of its wide selection of extensions and I generally feel that Firefox is faster and more privacy-focused than Safari.

But hey, if Safari floats your boat more, then stick with it. My wife adores Safari.

Replace Messages With WhatsApp

I’ve never understood the attraction of Messages, except to send free SMS messages to other Mac and iOS device users. I prefer a cross-platform solution where I can message everyone, regardless of their computer and phone operating system.

For my paranoid, tinfoil hat-wearing friends, that solution is Signal, which I have referred to many times before. For the others, who indignantly proclaim “I have nothing to hide!”, the one to use is WhatsApp, which has a desktop version. Signal also has a desktop version.

Replace Pages With LibreOffice

Apple’s suite of office apps, led by Pages, was something I never really gelled with. Perhaps I was too used to using Microsoft Office or perhaps by the time I got my first Mac, I was too hypnotized with using LibreOffice.

For the staggering total price of free, LibreOffice gives you pretty much everything Apple’s office suite does. Plus it is more lightweight and faster to run.

You can open Microsoft Office and Apple Office documents with LibreOffice as well, and save them back into the same formats.

Replace Quicktime With VLC Player

I am actually a big fan of QuickTime, but its big Achilles Heel is that it doesn’t play every type of media file out there. Two examples are AVI and MKV files. This makes QuickTime rather limited in its usefulness.

Therefore I am forced to also run VLC Player on the Mac, which can take over when QuickTime stumbles. VLC is the granddaddy of running media files where other apps can’t.

Ones I Haven’t Bothered To Suggest Replacements For

• iTunes – as of MacOS Catalina (due out in the next couple of months), iTunes in its current form will officially cease to exist for the Mac.
• Image Capture – for scanning documents, Image Capture works surprisingly well. You can also access your scanner via Preview or via the Printers & Scanners option in System Preferences. So no need to reinvent the wheel here.
• Photos – not so long ago, I would have advocated using Google Picasa but since that has now been killed by Google, Apple’s Photos app is just as good.
• Notes – you could use Evernote or Microsoft OneNote, but they’re not free. Plus, Apple has really improved their Notes app.
• Reminders – this used to be very bare-bones but with iOS 13, Reminders is now an absolute beast with reminder popups when you message a particular person.
• Time Machine – I honestly don’t know anything which can best Time Machine in the backup department.
• Stocks and Voice Memos – who honestly uses them?

Obviously “the best” is a very subjective term so what I think is best may not match your opinions. But hopefully, this article has made you aware of some of the other options out there.
