Macs in Law Offices Conference

I’m thrilled to be speaking at the 2015 MILOfest conference, which runs from Thursday, November 12 to Saturday, November 14th in Orlando, Florida at Disney’s Yacht Club resort. I’m still tweaking my presentation, but will be talking about some workflows I use to stay productive as a Mac user in a Windows-based office.

The lineup of speakers is pretty impressive, including Katie Floyd and David Sparks from the Mac Power Users podcast. If you are a lawyer or law office administrator, there’s still time to register. Tickets can be purchased through the MILOfest website.

Dispatch Comes to the iPad, at Last

Dispatch has long been one one of my favorite email apps on the iPhone. Lately, I’ve been going back and forth between Dispatch and Spark. I suspect I may be switching to Dispatch full time now, though, since Clean Shaven Apps has just released an update to the app to make it universal.

Yes, you can now use the app on your iPad. Truth be told, you could always use the app on your iPad, but you were using it in scaled mode, and not taking advantage of the iPad’s differences from the iPhone. Now, the app is optimized to run on the iPad.

The app’s strengths have always been its email powerful triaging capabilities and customizable sidebar, but it also offers support for numerous third party services, such as TextExpander, 1Password, and Evernote. I’m just excited to be able to use the app in landscape mode on my iPad. You can get the app for $6.99. If you already own it, the update is free.

The Beauty of DEVONthink OCR

I’ve covered DEVONthink heavily recently. That’s because it has been an invaluable tool and a huge time saver for me over the last few months. The latest trick I discovered has been DEVONthink’s ability to easily replace non-searchable PDF’s with searchable (OCR’d) versions of the same document. It’s pretty simple, actually.

Clip from Safari (iOS) to DEVONthink (Mac)

Since I first wrote about using DEVONthink Pro Office in my law practice, I’ve increasingly been using it for additional work projects. I’m currently preparing a case for trial, and have copied all of the documents and research for that case into DEVONthink, so it is easily accessible. I’d like my research to be in DEVONthink, too, which led me to figure out how to clip webpages from Safari on iOS into DEVONthink on my Mac. Here’s how I did it, using the Workflow app for iOS, and Hazel on the Mac.

Apple Watch Q&A – Improve Your Office Workflow

I recently sat down for a question and answer session about the Apple Watch. That Q&A is up on my firm’s website, and does a pretty good job of identifying what I like and don’t like about the watch. For me, the two biggest benefits to the watch are the ability to quickly get information into my system, and to quickly review information and get on with what I’m doing. I don’t use the watch as a tool for generating work. Instead, it “greases the skids” and helps me get work done on my other devices.
