How are you guys? My name is Nikias.
Today I want to show you an iPad setup that I know you will love.
And that is affordable.
They will love it and it will blow their minds,
due to the heart of the configuration, although that later.
Let's start with the monitor:
It's a 23-inch Asus and it costs less than $ 100
I will repeat it for those behind:
$100.
The quality is not the best,
But it is not the worst, to cost less than $ 100.
The analog Ugmonk has become an essential item for every setup I've ever had.
It's a physical to-do list driven by minimalism.
So you don't get distracted.
Yes, it is the same as writing it on a sheet of paper,
but this thing is beautifully designed,
and why don't I write my to-do list
on the Mac, or on my iPhone or on my watch?
Well I do sometimes
but I like to have what I have to do during the day written on paper,
because sometimes when I use my iPhone,
and I look at what I have to do during the day ...
I get a notification, and then I go to Instagram, and then ...
You know how it is, then you go to TikTok,
and then to YouTube,
and then you reply to an email ...
Then someone calls you ...
Instead here I just take a look at it,
and I write.
Now how do I write things?
I have this pencil holder from Grovemade.
It is a beautiful design.
It is made of real wood.
It looks impressive and really matches all my desktop aesthetics and vibe.
It seems that both things were made by the same company,
but in reality they are not.
I love that they look so similar.
I bought a light bulb that matches the aesthetics of the setup.
In terms of audio, I have a HomePod mini.
It is an excellent option if you have an iPad.
I connect my iPad with a hub with a USB-C connector.
Since the monitor that I recommend costs $ 100,
it does not have a USB-C to USB-C port,
simplemente un cable HDMI a USB-C.
and then I just connect it to my iPad.
You are going to hallucinate with what I am going to show you now.
Fasten your seatbelt.
Belts ready, because we're taking off.
I don't know if you guys have never heard of an app called Shiftscreen.
Shiftscreen will blow your mind.
You know that every time an iPad is connected to a monitor
you will have these huge black bars on the left and right of the screen.
Hasta Shiftscreen.
And it is absolutely amazing.
With Shiftscreen, you can open up to 6 windows on each monitor for each desktop,
and you can switch between multiple desktops.
The way Shiftscreen works may be a little different
of what you are thinking.
Surely you think:
"Okay, I have my iPad and the black bars on the monitor.
"I activated Shiftscreen and the bars are gone."
Okay, yes; but no.
The black bars will be out, that's why I love Shiftscreen,
but it is more powerful than that.
With Shiftscreen you cannot open all the apps on the iPad.
even though Shiftscreen is planning to add more apps soon.
So far we have an internet browser,
Google Docs,
the Reminders app,
Notion,
Google Teams,
Microsoft Teams,
a PDF editor,
Microsoft Word,
Slack,
Zoom,
Calculator,
Google Sheets,
Google Meet...
There are a lot of applications already,
and, once again, they will add more apps.
And the good thing is that you can move and resize the windows,
and you can use mouse or TrackPad on your iPad Pro,
or, if you have an iPad mini,
you can just grab a mouse from Logitech,
and a Logitech keyboard, which work very well
and have a complete desktop experience,
even with an iPad mini.
But if you have the iPad Pro, it's a much cooler experience,
because, you know, you've got the keyboard, the trackpad, and you're good to go.
This is extremely useful for many people:
Students, for example.
Students will be able to have a paper on the right,
and to the left your Microsoft Word document.
Or, perhaps, for business people:
They can have an excel document on the right,
and have the calculator on the left.
And then you can have many more tabs open at the same time,
because it's really powerful and the limit is literally all yours.
There are so many things that Shiftscreen can do ...
There are also keyboard shortcuts that you can customize in the app settings.
Everything runs through the launcher, which will allow you to open new windows,
close new windows,
hide the top bars of the windows,
change monitor brightness -
Yes, you can actually change the monitor brightness directly from the iPad.
Incluso picture in picture en YouTube,
being able to have a lot of tabs open at the same time,
and even run picture in picture on the monitor.
It's crazy.
Although only on YouTube.
Shiftscreen told me they are planning to add more picture in picture
on a bunch of more websites and streaming services and such.
You know what? The craziest of all this
is that Shiftscreen seems like a super complex application,
That it is.
Good guess how many people are on the team ...
Guess how many people are on the Shiftscreen team
Only one person.
