 here. Let's see. Sure, we've been kicking this one down this particular can down the road. We can get a little bit geeky here. Jesse shares a little bit of a geeky cool stuff found and says, over the years, I've learned just enough Apple script and terminal commands to get my Mac to do what I want. But I've always had a problem getting my Mac to do what I wanted when I wanted. I used to use Automator to create Calendar alarms, but they were temperamental and unreliable. I'm sure I injured a few scalp follicles due to my hair pulling in frustration. I tried out the apps power manager and keyboard maestro was able to use them to create and schedule macros and they certainly are wonderful. But then I got caught by the do it yourself bug. I decided so this is a good kind of getting caught. I decided to see if I could use the max built in capabilities to achieve what I wanted. When I learned about launch agents, I felt like Hermione Granger discovering a powerful spellbook. Launch agents often get mentioned in the context of looking for agents installed by third parties or even those that are malicious software in order to remove them. However, they are simply a way that Mac OS allows talking to launch D the powerful demon that runs at system startup and loads and runs services on demand. I decided to create my own launch agents. It turned out to be very doable for a mere mortal. I now have written 10 such launch agents to run various Apple scripts on my Mac at the times I find most useful. You can also schedule shell scripts or automated workflows if those are your things. Why bother first to go by beyond the limits of the Mac GUI and second for the fun of it. I have agents that sleep my Mac at different times on different days. Oh, that's interesting. Orchestrate which airplay speakers should play what when and how loud mount and run my time machine backups on my chosen schedule, export archives of my calendars and contacts weekly. This is getting interesting. Randomize my screensaver daily and more. I finally feel like my powers of automation on the Mac have caught up to what I can do with shortcuts on iOS. Now I feel like Hermione having just mastered the big spellbook. There are plenty of articles on the on the net and and Jesse she gives us a few of them. So we will put those on. We'll put those in the show notes. But yeah, this is very cool. So these articles talk about truly creating your own from from scratch out of whole cloth. There is an app called Lingon that we have talked about many times on the show that lets you see the launch agents that are there. You can delete them. You can disable them. You can edit them. And yes, you can create new ones. So Lingon might be another tool for people like Jesse who want to do this kind of thing. But you know, there you go. So very cool. Thank you for sharing that, Jesse. I know I said it was a little geeky. It's only a little geeky because you're right. These launch agents are not difficult to build. And with some of the articles that you gave us, I think people can can get rolling. So yeah, you're right. This is huh. This is interesting. I'll have to think about the automations that I do and whether I want to move some of those to my own handcrafted launch agents. So this is cool. In the chatroom Kiwi Graham is saying launch control might be another app to to do some of this. So I will put that in the show notes and we will check it out and you can check it out. Yeah, it's a it's from Somazon. So that wouldn't surprise me that they would have an app like that. I feel like we've talked about it before the launch D GUI. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. And is that lot? Lingon is not free. I don't know if launch control is free or not. Not sure. I think it might be. Yeah, I'm downloading it now. So it certainly downloads for free. Download his trial versions test them. Okay, shop. Let's see. Personal licenses. Boy, launch control 18 bucks. So there you go. Yeah. Awesome.
