I'm proud of you.

All right.

And then way back in episode 672 in Ask ATP, we were asked about the difference between minimizing, hiding, zooming, et cetera.

And Ben writes, here are two incredible free open source Mac OS apps that fix the where did my window go problem in my life.

The first is Flash Space, a blazingly fast spaces replacement to find workspaces, switch instantly via hotkeys or gestures, and use floating apps across workspaces.

Additionally, secondly, Alt-Tab, a Windows-style Windows switcher done right.

Thumbnails that show the individual window content, separate keyboard shortcuts to show all Windows versus current desktop versus current app, quick access to quick close, minimize full screen, extremely customizable, and a drop-in replacement for the Mac app switcher.

And these two apps pair absurdly well.

Flash Space nails content switching, the right set of apps, then Alt-Tab nails window switching inside that context.

If you've ever lost Windows across spaces or desktops, this combo is a lifesaver.

New AirTags were announced.

We have been waiting for this for months, some perhaps more than others, but Apple has announced new AirTags.

They have a few very cool features.

There's enhanced range and findability with a second-generation ultra-wideband chip.

Precision finding works from up to 50% further away than in the previous generation.

An upgraded Bluetooth chip expands the range at which items can be located thus.

For the first time, users can use precision finding on Apple Watch Series 9 or later or Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later to find their AirTag.

And the new AirTag is 50% louder than the previous generation.

Also, apparently the chime has changed from F to G. And if I knew more about music, I would probably be more impressed.

With regard to the environment, 85% recycled plastic in the enclosure, 100% recycled rare earth elements and all magnets, 100% recycled gold platey and all Apple-designed printed circuit boards.
