![]() Rotate it into portrait mode and read from it. But what is also so great about the iPad is how you can pop off the keyboard and use the device like a tablet. There are a few things here and there that would be awesome on an iPad. It’d mean being able to save a web page to Instapaper or add a URL to Things through a keyboard shortcut rather than through a few taps.Īt some point the thought does become: why not just use a laptop? One thing I’d love to see would be keyboard shortcuts for the share sheet (which is something that Michael Rockwell mentioned about a week ago). I can’t wait to see what Apple has up their sleeve on Monday for iOS 12. You can even save particular “workflows” and simply apply that saved process to one or multiple photos with just a few taps. CropSize: This is an iOS app that lets you crop and resize images and export them for the web.Mail: While it certainly leaves a lot to be desired in terms of search and integrating with 3rd-party apps, I still appreciate its simple clean design.I use it constantly, and even keep it in my iPad’s dock for quick access. 1Password: Despite the prevalence of iCloud Keychain, 1Password is still a must-have app.It’s fast, native, and I use iCloud tabs quite a bit as I love the ability to get to any web pages I have open on my other devices. Paper: For doing the occasional sketch to accompany an article ( like this one).Music: For listening to jams when writing and working.Day One: My biggest use for Day One on the iPad is when I do my weekly reviews on Sunday afternoons.But, in short, Bear is for all the simple and temporary stuff like shopping lists, travel plans, or research for buying and installing Jeep parts, etc. Bear: Some day I’ll write more in depth about the differences of how I use Bear versus Ulysses.We run everything in and through Basecamp. Basecamp: This has become command central for the whole Blanc Media team.It’s a pretty great keyboard - it’s just fine to use for typing, and I love that it can also fold back behind itself to prop up the iPad, and it easily pops off the side if I want to use the iPad strictly as a tablet.Īs for apps, here’s a list of all the apps I use on my iPad the most (not including Ulysses or Things which I already mentioned above). Hardware-wise, I use one of Apple’s smart keyboard covers with my iPad. Both of which are world-class on the iPad (especially so with the most recent updates to Things 3.6 and Ulysses 13.)Īll that said, today I wanted to share a bit about my current iPad setup so that if anything changes next week, there’d be a benchmark to compare against. (I’ve got a whole other story about how Dropbox has basically become obsolete for me, but we’ll save that for another time.)Īnd then, there are the apps I use most: Ulysses and Things. Obviously, there is iOS 11 (“The iPad Release”) with its side-by-side app views, drag and drop, and, of course, the Files app itself with its system-wide integration which has been a huge game changer. This is thanks entirely to a few things that, up until last year, really didn’t exist on the iPad. In conjunction with the jumbo-sized Baron Fig notebook, my iPad has become a regular part of my every day creativity and productivity.Įven though I have an iMac with a fun and clicky keyboard at my desk, I find myself doing nearly as much work from the iPad as from my Mac. And, needless to say, I’m excited about what Apple will announce on Monday at their big keynote event. I’ll be out there in San Jose for a few days going to live podcast events and meeting up with my fellow Apple nerd friends. Full stop.Īs you may know, on Monday Apple is kicking off their annual conference: WWDC. Thanks mostly to iOS 11, the iPad is fun, powerful, and versatile. But they also have always had certain limitations that brought about frustrations at times. The iPads of the past have always been fun and versatile and powerful to an extent. It’s the “not annoying” part that has finally come around. In fact, it feels to me like what the iPad was meant to be all along: Fun, powerful, versatile, and not annoying. #Rescuetime for ipad pro#The iPad Pro (with iOS 11) is not like the other iPads. And since then I’ve also owned an iPad 2, iPad 3, a 2nd-gen iPad mini, a 9.7” iPad Pro, and now, of course, the 10.5” iPad Pro. I stood in line on that Saturday morning in April 2010 to buy the original iPad. I’ve had an iPad since the very beginning. I bought one right away, and it has become one of my favorite gadgets of all time. Gosh, it’s been about a year now since the 10.5” iPad Pro came out. ![]()
