This link comes from a few weeks ago, but my interest in true black iPhone X themes is only bursting now. Maximos Angelakis vision of an iOS-wide dark mode is phenomenal.
The best part about true black dark modes is not that they’re sexier to look at, it’s that they’re actually better on battery life — specifically so on the iPhone X. If you want to save a percent or two on battery life each day, be sure to throw on true black modes in apps like Reeder, Overcast, Apollo, Bear, and Hello Weather, among others.
Having this system-wide would be sweet and efficient at the same time — two of my favourite words when put in the same sentence.

Paul Stamatiou’s 32,000+ word guide to building a PC specifically for Lightroom performance is something to behold. There are entire blog posts and guides in here, all mashed together to form one piece which will take you an entire evening — and a few glasses of wine — to read.
I have two simple questions for Paul:
Is this $6,000+ PC worth the time and effort to build, when only a few minutes are saved in the end?
Now that the iMac Pro has been released (and at a cheaper price than his custom rig), is it smarter to buy the latest all-in-one from Apple?
The iMac Pro is a lot better looking, if you ask me.
Chris Bowler took on the daunted task of choosing the best GTD app suite for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, and Things 3 came away the winner:
The launch of Things 3 in 2017 was a complete rebuild, and it is one of the most pleasing and satisfying pieces of software I’ve ever used. While not as customizable as some of the other options, Things is just so well-designed and hits enough of our criteria that it comes out as our top choice.

The GTD arena is a pretty opinionated one. There are some die-hard OmniFocus users out there. No matter which app you decide to use — Things or OmniFocus — the reality is you can’t go wrong. OmniFocus seems to be designed with some power users in mind, while Things feels like the best choice for most people. Where you fall in this wide-ranging spectrum is up for you to decide.
Along with the review comes the announcement of a new course we’ve been working on at The Sweet Setup. All The Things is a deep-dive into Things 3, making sure you know the ins and outs of the best GTD app available. Best of all, there will be a bunch of focus on GTD and productivity in general, ensuring OmniFocus and Todoist users will be equally covered.
If you’re curious about the upcoming course, you can check out the All The Things page and sign up to be notified when it’s ready for launch.
