Do you miss iWeb? I’m pretty sure some of us do miss it. The app that helped anyone build a website in just a few steps has now a worthy replacement.

Sparkle helps you build awesome looking websites and its limits are just your imagination. When you’re done, the app can translate all of that in HTML5.

When you first open the app it is going to remind you of Pages.app. The interface is easy to use and you’ll be building your landing page or a full fledged website in no time. This is a native Mac app and it works great on Yosemite.

This is pretty awesome. You know how your iPhone or iPad has an audible feedback when you plug it into the charger. You can do the same with your Mac with just a simple command you can enter in Terminal.app.

defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool true; open /System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app &

Facebook has launched their web version of the messenger. All you have to do is go to messenger.com (yeah, they’ve got that domain name) and sign in with your email or phone number. I find this a great way to get disconnected from Facebook itself and just use the messenger webpage.

I would love to have that included in Messages app so that I get all my messages in one place. On the other hand, in the past couple of weeks I’ve tested an unofficial messenger app for OS X.

It is simply called Messenger for Mac and it got to version 006 already. The app is pretty stable and it obviously works thanks to the new web version. The developers say this is not the official Facebook app, but a free and open-source project created by fans.

Stii cit de mult spun tuturor despre importanta unui back-up. Si eu sunt genul de utilizator care urmeaza un plan de back-up riguros, in mai multe locatii: online, offline si off-site.

Chiar si asa, sunt constient ca poti sa pierzi documente importante si atunci ai nevoie de o solutie sigura de recuperare a datelor.

Why? I just want to know why? This is the most amazing thing they’ve ever built into a MacBook…

iPhoto is getting retired. Apple is getting ready to launch the new “Photos” app. Here’s my take on the new app and what I think is the best solution for Apple to take with their new approach.

“Storing your pictures in the cloud means you will have less on your device and you depend on an Internet connection to get them back. I only have about 22.000 photos in my iPhoto library and loosing them would mean a disaster. I know a grown man that cried after loosing the photos he took for about two years. He handed the camera to his niece and she didn’t know she was not suppose to format the SD card.

You already know I’m a big fan of Alfred and I consider it one of the best apps for your Mac when it comes to productivity. Back in 2013, Alfred won the boio.ro “Best of All” Award. It is just one of the ways I wanted to express my gratitude for the app that has changed the way I work on my computer.

This week, the team behind Alfred has released their first iOS app and as you might expect, this takes the Mac productivity even further. Alfred Remote for iOS is a way to control your Mac like never before.

You must be familiar with Periscope Pro, the app that turns your computer running OS X into a surveillance camera. We’ve reviewed it before here on boio.ro, but there are some great things we need to talk about that make this app even more awesome.

First of all, the big question is: Why would you need a Video Surveillance app on your computer? Well, the short and simple answer is: you need to protect something and dedicated hardware and software is very expensive.
