Act Apps For Mac

broken image


Basically, a Mac application has a .app extension, but it's not really a file — it's a package. You can view the application's contents by navigating to it in the Finder, right-clicking it and then choosing 'Show Package Contents'.

Unfortunately, the number of businesses in the target market for ACT! Who use Mac machines is still too few to justify the expense for what would essentially be a new software. However, we do recognize that a number of businesses are moving away from desktops & laptops to mobile devices like iPads and iPhones, so we are releasing a new HTML5. Nov 20, 2020 When searching the Mac App Store, M1 Mac owners will notice a tab that allows checking for iPad and iPhone apps also and many are compatible, so that's another resource. Apple's M1 MacBook Air, Pro and Mac mini offer more app choices than ever before and more speed is coming as soon as developers complete the transition. The most popular Mac alternative is LibreOffice - Calc, which is both free and Open Source. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 50 alternatives to Microsoft Office Excel and many of them are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Free teleprompter software that's easy to use for recording videos and giving speeches. Apps & reviews for Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, & Linux. 1 Find out what Apps do by reading our learning articles. 2 Search for the best App for you by using the filters or search bar. 3 Learn more about the features and benefits and check the community rating. Many Apps offer a free trial – try before you buy. 4 Download the App from the vendor's site by clicking the ‘Download' button.

The internal folder structure may vary between apps, but you can be sure that every Mac app will have a Contents folder with a MacOS subfolder in it. Inside the MacOS directory, there's an extension-less file with the exact same name as the app itself. This file can be anything really, but in its simplest form it's a shell script. As it turns out, this folder/file structure is all it takes to create a functional app!

Enter appify

Apps

After this discovery, Thomas Aylott came up with a clever 'appify' script that allows you to easily create Mac apps from shell scripts. The code looks like this:

Installing and using appify is pretty straightforward if you're used to working with UNIX. (I'm not, so I had to figure this out.) Here's how to install it:

  1. Save the script to a directory in your PATH and name it appify (no extension). I chose to put it in /usr/local/bin, which requires root privileges.
  2. Fire up Terminal.app and enter sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/appify to make appify executable without root privileges.

After that, you can create apps based on any shell script simply by launching Terminal.app and entering something like this:

Obviously, this would create a stand-alone application named Your App Name.app that executes the your-shell-script.sh script.

After that, you can very easily add a custom icon to the app if you want to.

Can my Mac's camera be hacked? The short answer is yes. It is possible for malware running on your Mac to turn on the iSight camera and record video or still images and audio from the microphone, and send it to a storage location on the internet. You might be asking, 'Is my Mac's camera hacked?' The truth is your webcam can be accessed without your consent, and therefore covering your Mac's built-in camera is a good idea. Don't take my word for it, just see what FBI Director James Comey has to say about it. Mac camera hacked camera.

Adding a custom app icon

  1. Create an .icns file or a 512×512 PNG image with the icon you want, and copy it to the clipboard (⌘ + C). (Alternatively, copy it from an existing app as described in steps 2 and 3.)
  2. Right-click the .app file of which you want to change the icon and select 'Get Info' (or select the file and press ⌘ + I).
  3. Select the app icon in the top left corner by clicking it once. It will get a subtle blue outline if you did it right.
  4. Now hit ⌘ + V (paste) to overwrite the default icon with the new one.

Note that this will work for any file or folder, not just .app files.

Examples

Chrome/Chromium bootstrappers

I like to run Chrome/Chromium with some command-line switches or flags enabled. On Windows, you can create a shortcut and set the parameters you want in its properties; on a Mac, you'll need to launch it from the command line every time. Well, not anymore :)

The & at the end is not a typo; it is there to make sure Chromium is launched in a separate thread. Without the &, Chromium would exit as soon as you quit Terminal.app.

Launch a local web server from a directory

Say you're working on a project and you want to debug it from a web server. The following shell script will use Python to launch a local web server from a specific directory and open the index page in your default browser of choice. After appifying it, you won't even need to open the terminal for it anymore.

More?

Needless to say, the possibilities are endless. Just to give another example, you could very easily create an app that minifies all JavaScript and CSS files in a specific folder. Got any nice ideas? Let me know by leaving a comment!
