Apple apps for your business

Available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon and more...

Summary

You can run your whole business using just the basic Apple apps like Notes, Reminders, Mail, and Safari. I’ve been doing it for years, and I only use a few third-party apps to enhance things. Before buying tools, figure out what you actually need, not what someone else is using. The Mac already comes with plenty to get the job done.

So we’re back. Me and Woof! are chilling. Well, he’s chilling. I’m working. He loves it on that couch.

And this weekend, it got me thinking after getting a bunch of emails about Apple issues and whether you can use the basic Apple apps for your business. And the answer is yes. I mean, I’ve been doing that for quite a few years. I am using some third-party apps that kind of enhance certain things. But generally, all the basic apps that come with your Apple, you can actually use to run your business like Apple Notes, Apple Reminders, Apple Mail, which is what I’m using, Safari, all the rest of it, you can actually use all of this to run your business.

Now, Apple, I made a video last week about Apple pushing into the productivity space. Now, they’re coming out with a few other features. One, I can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s like Miro. Miro’s like an online white-boarding app. And that looks really interesting when it comes out later on this fall. Hopefully it will be coming out this fall.

But the fact that I get asked about tools, like do I need this tool, do I need that tool? What I usually do is try to find out what the client actually needs, not wants, what they actually need. I talk about wanting and needing quite often on this channel. And the fact that you need to do your work doesn’t mean that you need apps that you don’t need and that kind of come out wrong. But there’s a lot of people that want apps because they know someone else is using it.

But you’ll find that the Mac actually comes with a ton of apps that you could actually use to run your business. So you don’t need to go out and get third-party apps.

Anyway, I’ll leave you with that. Have a great day. And if you have any questions, let me know. There’ll be a button here somewhere. From me and Woof!. See in the next one. Ciao.
