What I want to introduce today is a similar
A service of Netflix for Apps
I will share the thoughts I actually use
And analyze the actual use
See if this service is worth it
Last time I made a video introducing Apps
In fact, many people have mentioned
Why do some of the apps in it have to be paid
Everyone wants to see more free apps
But I know that many people like free services
Of course everyone wants to save money
But I think everyone can think about a question
For example, Google provides a lot of free services to you
We all find it very convenient
But relatively he provides you with free things
If things are done well and maintained
He must get something from the user relatively
For Google, his main business is advertising
Google can charge you more personal usage habits
Or more private information
And then it is more accurate than their advertising
Google uses this free new product and service
In exchange for some information, Google uses this free new product and service
May be for many consumers
He may think that it’s not a big problem
On the other hand, it may also be that we trust Google more
But if there is a relatively small developer today
Or a relatively small developer software company
They provide a very useful software
Very powerful function is maintained at any time
But it's free
At this time, do you think about where his money comes from?
Because the operation of a company always needs capital to support
At this time, he implanted the App in your system
What is his relative gain to provide such a free service
I think everyone should think about it
My idea is if you find a useful software or app
If the developer’s evaluation is also good
Basically I would be willing to pay to use it
Because good things and good maintenance are worth the price
In fact, these developers also need our support
To continue to make better software
The point I’m going to talk about today is that I’m using a service recently
He is a similar subscription App Store
His name is Setapp
Is to pay a fixed monthly fee
You can use more than one hundred legal apps in them
There are a lot of apps in it, and they are also available on Apple’s official App Store
So basically there are quite a lot of practical apps in it
Actually I have known about this service for a long time
I have not used it before, just want to say that this long-term subscription continues
Wouldn't it be relatively uneconomical?
But one day I roughly calculated
I have bought these apps one after another this year
How much does it add up to
Here are a few more commonly used recently
I think it's easier to use
Then it happens that some of these Apps are provided in Setapp
Well, let’s see that the first one to talk about is iStat Menu
I mentioned this in my last video
This allows you to see the current status of the CPU and GPU
The other one I like is here
I can see the current temperature of all my systems
Sometimes I think the temperature of his CPU may be too high
I'm here to control the speed of his fan by myself
Then iStat Menu, when I bought it myself, it was $12 USD
Okay, the next one we are talking about is this one (Disk Drill)
I bought this by myself earlier
This is also in Setapp
I remember that I bought it for about $100
Because I have a file
Deleted accidentally from the SD card
Then I'm going to save the file and come back
I spent $100 but I also have it here
Then the next thing we will talk about is Paste
What I think is very practical is that I open it now
Then I will copy something here
When I get here, there will be a record of what I copied before
The pictures I saw on the website will also exist if I copy them
It’s very convenient when I usually print or write
This is also in Setapp
If you buy this separately, it costs $10 a year (subscription system)
The next one we are going to talk about is Gemini
It’s very convenient that he can scan
What are the duplicate files on your disk
It may take up a lot of space on your disk and he will find it out
The handling of disk space
I'll shoot another video later
If you buy this app separately, it costs $20 a year (subscription system)
The next one is Bartender
Basically you can see that my current Menu Bar is very messy
Basically it allows you to organize it quickly
I have introduced similar apps before
Actually there are free or other
Bartender is relatively well-known and there are some other additional features in it
If you buy this one separately, it's $15
Next, let’s talk about One Switch
Basically you can take as much as you want faster
Things you want to set up or deal with quickly are placed in the Menu Bar above
Here you can see some things I set it up
Keep Awake, Dark Mode
Or you have a lot of external hard drives and SD cards today
You want to quit them all at once. Here is an option like this
After you click into the setting, he also has
Some other things you can turn it on by yourself
If you buy this one separately, it's $4 USD
Ok the next one is called Downie
It allows you to download some videos on the Internet
Just grab the link and he will automatically download it for you
If you buy this separately, it’s $20. This is so expensive
The next one is very famous called Better Touch Tool
Everyone should know this
You can change your trackpad now
Touch Bar or your mouse has many functions, you can set some buttons by yourself
If you think it’s too troublesome to set it slowly
There are also packages set by others on the Internet to download
If you buy this separately, it’s $20
And I think it’s quite powerful called CleanMyMac X
This is basically to scan your entire system
What extra files may occupy a lot of resources
See what to do
Another more in-depth
He can basically do some anti-virus scans
Of course Mac is relatively safe
But if someone really wants to hack, there is still a way
I might make another video about this software again
I feel it's ok
If you buy this separately, it's $35
I think the next one is very useful (Haze Over)
This is very interesting
You may be in a job situation now
If you open it, he will put you in the main window
Everything behind darkens it
You can adjust how much he wants
If you buy this separately, it's $10
Good another one is called AnyTrans
This software is basically
Android also has iOS
Basically it gives you more ways
To see the files on your phone
Or to process and back up
Some people may think to use iCloud or Finder (spoken language)
Or the way of Music backup is not so convenient
He may want to see every detail clearly
This is a pretty powerful software
If you buy this separately, one will cost $50
Finally, let’s analyze my feelings
See if this subscription method really saves money
So the total of the above is about US$300 and NT$9000
Setapp is $10 a month and $300 Taiwan dollars
So count it like this
The direct purchase prices of these apps alone can make me use them for two and a half years
And this is just counting the 11 Apps I listed above
But in fact, there are more than 100 apps in Setapp for you to use
On the other hand, now there are quite a lot of apps of this type that have also turned to subscription.
So even if you buy it in Apple’s official App Store
There will still be a subscription system below him for you to choose later
If I use it for a long time, I think it’s a lot of money to use Setapp.
This is completely reversed from my previous thoughts
Other apps like disk recovery
Is the app that saved the file
Actually, I only use it once, and I only need it once
I don't know when I need it next time
$100 to buy this one-time software
I think it's a waste to think of it now
If I had used Setapp first
Even if I only subscribe to that software for one month
Then I only paid $10, so it’s relatively cost-effective
Then add many apps in it now
I have already purchased it and will use it
These apps also allow me to work on the computer
It saves some time, I think it’s a good deal for me
But of course not everyone has the same usage
You may be a new Mac user
Or you are a light user
If you are not sure if you need it
Or there are many new apps in it
If you don’t know much but you want to play
Of course you can still try to pull
Because he has a seven-day free trial period
Then my personal recommendation is if
You see there are a lot of software you will use
But you are not sure if you will use it for a long time
Or will you really get used to it after use
Setapp is a way for you to try all these software
You may come back to review after a month
This means that there are a few softwares that I really use
You can jump out to the general Mac App Store
Or on the websites of these software companies
To see their purchase price
You can know this method when you count back
You are buying this app alone
Or you use Setapp to be a good deal
Because some people may not use so many apps
It may be more cost-effective to buy one alone
Then if you are like me
If you buy a bunch of them one after another
Then you might get the same conclusion as me
Maybe this kind of subscription system will suit you better
I will put the link below if I want to try it
Okay, today's video is roughly like this
Is to introduce one such service
I hope I can save everyone a little money
