![]() ![]() So I was elated to come across Client Folder Maker from GeekSuit, LLC (what a GREAT name!). I knew there were ways to do this using AppleScript, but I don’t typically recommend that angle for lawyers. TextExpander worked wonderfully for this lawyer on filenames, but then he asked about an easy way to automatically create a set of folders for each matter so he (or his assistant) wouldn’t have to manually create them every time. Honorable mention does go to DocMoto, however, since they offer the only Mac-native option for document management, and I know several Mac-based law firms that are happily using the platform.įor file-naming consistency, I always recommend using TextExpander (sign up for the free webinar I’m doing with Smile Software on TextExpander next week). Larger firms use legal-specific document management systems (DMS) such as iManage, OpenText, Worldox, or NetDocuments to manage files, but these are overkill for smaller firms, and they don’t fully support macOS. Like many Mac-using lawyers, he planned to “manually” manage his documents and files which meant he needed to 1) always be consistent on naming files and 2) have a consistent structure of folders in which to save his files.īy the way, there’s nothing wrong with “manual” document management. I came across an extremely handy utility the other day while helping a lawyer get his all-Mac office set up. A single license is $18, but the “Family Pack” is $25 and allows you to install on up to 5 Macs. ![]() If you’re curious about what’s going on under the hood of your Mac, then you should try iStat Menus. I like most everything set up the same on all my Macs, but there are some tweaks that are different depending upon the machine. I do wish there was a way to sync my settings between my MacBook Air and Mac mini, although they do allow you to export and import settings. And the ability to add TWO lines to your time and date section (it gets really small!).Reorderable (is that a word?) dropdown menus (I like this a lot to further customize the dropdown menus).Weather (although I have several other sources for weather).The ability to combine menus (I actually use iStat Menus to see things at a glance so I don’t see myself using this).But now I assigned ⌃+⌥+⌘+D as the keyboard shortcut to quickly pull that down so I don’t have to move my cursor (hitting the shortcut again hides it or just hit the Esc key). I also like clicking on it to quickly see the month and find a date. For example, I like using iStat Menus to show the time and date because it offers more options for customizing how it looks. I also like that I can assign a hotkey to menus. Version 6 puts a little more polish on the interface and makes all my usual components look a little better.īut version 6 also adds a few more customization options for changing the color and background of the dropdown menus and items. And I really appreciate the granular customizations for time and date.I use it for the advanced battery monitoring.I use it to see how hot my MacBook Air is running.I use it to measure my network connection and see if anything is using more than it should be. ![]()
