Meanwhile, an honest request for help here -- the built-in Photos app is being ridiculous when it comes to uploading part of a longer video to YouTube (the first part went without a breeze, but trying to select and upload the second part just made it want to upload the first part again). Solutions/better program for the job?

I've always been really happy with lastpass (sync seems less of a hassle, it's way cheaper than buying ios+osx+win licenses) but I feel like this might make me jump ship to 1password: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/30/ios-8-1-password-beta-demo/

Jumped from Wallet to 1password a couple months ago. Think the AgileBits coders are doing good work.

― Jeff, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 01:08 (nine years ago) link
1password looks sooooo much nicer than lastpass but apart from doing everything a bit more prettily i've never found a compelling reason to jump.
What I'm most scared of is the dropbox integration - if I'm stranded somewhere without my phone I can use a pc in an internet cafe to check my email just by logging in to lastpass in the browser without an app or plugin. Presumably w/1passwd if I did the same and tried to get my password out of the dropbox web interface, I'd still need to install the 1password app on this imaginary pc to actually get the password. Is that right? idk maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on a fairly unlikely fringe scenario
hrm what to do what to do

lastpass is slowly improving its design and i cant really imagine it wont get touchid integration asap

Lastpass already has Touch ID in safari via an extension.

Not quite, I switched to 1password. Cost sucked, but I really wanted Touch ID integration. And it's generally nicer overall.

― sktsh, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 09:47 (nine years ago) link
never got the hang of 1passwork for some reason. Would you guys recommend lastpass instead?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 09:50 (nine years ago) link
I think on ios it works pretty much in the same way as 1password does. It works directly within safari through the sharing menu and is very slick espesh w/touchid, but if you want to log in to a dedicated app you're probably still going to have to swap into the app and copy the password, which is a bit more cumbersome.
I like it mainly because i need to sync between osx at home, windows desktops at work and ios in between which would mean buying several licenses for 1password, but you do still have to pay $12/yr for the iphone app.
tl/dr normally I would but if 1passwd didn't fit your way of working lastpass prob won't either

caved in and got a pinboard account so i could start closing some of my truly overwhelming amount of open tabs. any suggestions as to a good pinboard ios client if any? or do i need one for that matter?
my general plan is to use pocket for #longreads and the like and pinboard for tagging and organizing various research projects. Not sure if I actually need an ios client for that purpose...

Is simplenote any good? After years of looking around I still haven't found a satisfying solution for myself w/ this. Does simplenote sync properly btwn mac, windows and iphone?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 7 February 2020 20:40 (four years ago) link
lol brett terpstra has been promising that for years. supposedly in beta, but fuck knows if it'll ever come out.
simplenote is fine between all of them, but i find the mac and windows clients *horrible* - iOS client is fine.
― Fizzles, Friday, 7 February 2020 20:59 (four years ago) link
to be fair, he's been promising nvultra for 1 year, not years. it looks like another one of these awful fisher price UI 'focussed' writing tools out of the box, but i guess we'll see.
i use nvalt on mac and 1writer on iphone with dropbox sync. it's the least bad i could find.

Boring iphone question: is there a way to capture whatever audio is playing on your iphone, with a recording app? I don't mean phone conversations, but recording sound from an app. Like how you used to use 'recorder' on your old pc 20 years ago to capture what was playing over the soundboard? I don't have access to an external recording device so can't use headphones/line-out, but am looking for an app to record whatever sound an app is playing on my phone. Anyone?
― Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 07:09 (three years ago) link
There are some hacks. You can screen record some things and convert the saved file.
― beard papa, Wednesday, 8 July 2020 07:16 (three years ago) link
I think you're right! I just came across something like that. Screen record w/ audio, then use QT to export as audio only. I think that might do the trick.
― Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 07:21 (three years ago) link
AudioShare will do the conversion on your device if thatβs something youβd want.

I don't use Siri so the only ones I find very useful are ones I can put on the share sheet. I use one that Uploads to Imgur, which is great for posting images here. Another for creating a QR code, one that starts playing a podcast when my phone connects to a particular Bluetooth device, and another that mounts a network drive when my home network is connected.
― beard papa, Friday, 15 October 2021 17:02 (two years ago) link

using nvultra (new version of nvalt) on macos, and had always used simplenote on the phone - text entry comes up quickly and easily and integrated with simplenote, but nvultra just runs off your folder structure and syncs via dropbox or whatever.
so iβve been looking for a phone and ipad markdown notes app thatβs as easy to use as sn. bear, ulysses and iawriter all have a slightly painful folder structure for quick note taking. 1Writer is *probably* the best and easiest, but itβs still fiddly.
any recommendations?

what's wrong with SN?
― stet, Tuesday, 21 December 2021 11:34 (two years ago) link
it doesn't sync with nvultra and also separately i was having a problem with the navalt target folder. HOEWVER i have now sorted out that problem, renamed the folder so it's one that i use for all notes now. using nvultra as a macOS editor, and nvalt as a bridging sync with simplenote. so i'm good again.
i mean i just made things difficult for myself basically. no fault of any of the apps.
