Episode Details

You’re gonna love this jam-packed episode of Mac Geek Gab! Dive in with a barrage of Quick Tips, like turning your wonky circle sketches into perfect shapes, compressing image sizes with Mail and Squash, and even tricking Safari into showing you paywalled content. Your fellow geeks also bring sharp insights—from switching Night Stand clocks from UTC to local time, to using OnyX for nuking Time Machine snapshots. And yes, CleanMyMac’s Space Lens is back!

But that’s just the warm-up. This week’s geek-fueled highlight? Custom Focus Modes. Listeners share brilliant ways to reclaim their attention—like silencing politics, syncing modes to time and place, and creating modes for everything from church to live sports. You’ll also get answers to smart questions about iMessage quirks, 5G Standalone, and whether your IoT network is friend or foe. Stay ahead of the curve with a peek into visionOS 26 and the next Podcasts app update—and remember, Don’t Get Caught.
