MacMost Newsletter Issue #636 for March 11, 2021

New Patreon Milestone!

MacMost passed another milestone this week with now more than 900 people supporting MacMost through Patreon. Their support keeps the MacMost site, and this newsletter, ad-free!

More than 700 of the 900 are part of Club MacMost, my name for supporters who contribute $5 per month or more. They get bonus content every week and also a 50% discount at my MacMost Courses site. As the members of Club MacMost know, they are not just MacMost supporters. They have also become my advisors as well, guiding me with suggestions and feedback.

Thanks to everyone for your support! -- Gary

Mac Basics: Using Windows And Tabs

While most Mac users are familiar with using tabs in web browsers, fewer utilize them in other apps. You can use tabs in most apps to have multiple documents in one window. You can even use them in the Finder to have multiple disk locations in a single window in separate tabs.

Use a Shortcut To Change iPhone Settings Just For One App

You can create a personal automation in the Shortcuts app to change your iPhone settings when you launch an app, and then change them back when you exit. For example, you can increase the font size, but only for that app or a set of apps.
