Extensions are quick and easy to install/uninstall and they’re smart. Users and developers have created useful PopClip add-ons to popular third-party apps like Evernote, OmniFocus, and Skype, and it seems that a few new ones appear every month. In addition to the default set, there are currently over 100 extensions available, putting the actions you need-from image search to unit conversion-at your fingertips. It is the extra actions available through the PopClip extension library that make PopClip much more powerful and, for this user, essential. While the ability perform the actions shown in the screenshots above is nice, it frankly wouldn’t make it a must-have utility for most users. And importantly, PopClip is so well integrated and feels so native that you’d swear it was part of the operating system.

Since I spend much of my time at the computer dealing with text (writing, editing, copying, pasting, formatting, searching for terms, etc.), any piece of software that can reduce friction as I manipulate text is a plus. Unlike some of Apple’s own iOS-ification which seems more cosmetic than truly useful, PopClip scratches a productivity itch right where I need it-with text handling. Nevertheless, the consensus seems to be that some degree of OS convergence is inevitable. And some features were removed: the iWork productivity suite ( Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) was overhauled “to support a unified file format between OS X and iOS 7 versions” but the removal of key features made quite a few users unhappy.

Some features were added: the five-finger pinch gesture on the trackpad of a MacBook Pro brings up the iOS-style view of the applications via Launchpad, and since OS X 10.7, “natural scrolling” has been the default way to scroll. He can be reached through the center’s website: a longtime Mac user who does not own an iOS device, I have been somewhat reluctant to embrace the steady “iOS-ification” of the Mac-you know, the aesthetic and functional bits that were introduced to OS X that borrowed from iOS (iPhone, iPad).
