The stock weather app provides that so I don’t pay a subscription for my weather app. What I NEED is accurate weather data and forecast. It is a great app., I like it but I don’t NEED the customizations. An example is an app like Carrot Weather. When deciding whether or not to pay a subscription I start by asking “do I NEED the features this app offers?” If I don’t NEED those features, though I may prefer them, I usually opt for the “good enough” non-subscription app. Each individual has to decide what represents good and wise stewardship of his or her finances, including a reasonable budget for app subscriptions and/or purchases. The issue is the proliferation of subscriptions, which is in effect “renting” the application. I doubt anyone begrudges developers a proper return for their labor. My sense is that, at least in this forum, there’s not an objection to subscriptions in the abstract … As a practical matter … there are limits to the number of subscriptions a person can reasonably maintain. The subscription I’ve been paying for ($9.99/year, if memory serves) is for syncing between macOS and iOS.

If I need to extract annotations from a PDF, PDFExpert lets me export those to Markdown fairly and the Mac app for Bookends is a paid update about every two years if you want new features what you already have keeps working. (Their prices aren’t unreasonable, but I already have +/- 25 GB in Dropbox thanks to referrals from the early days, and I’ve got 2 TB in iCloud. Using linked files + PDFExpert means I don’t get Zotero’s new annotation features, but the upside is that I get reliable sync without having to buy additional storage from Zotero. (Thankfully this means I don’t need to use Zotfile for directly managing PDFs on the iPad, which was the part I always found fiddly and annoying.) I can still add notes to a source in Zotero, and those notes will sync just fine. That puts the PDFs in a place that I can access from PDFExpert, no matter what device I’m on. Because the iOS version doesn’t play well with synced files, I still need to use Zotfile to automatically save PDFs to a folder in my iCloud Drive (Google Drive or Dropbox would work just as well).

If your institution offers a proxy, then you can enter the scopusBaseURL variable to use that.Yes, a switch back to Zotero. The Scopus URLs also benefit from an institutional subscription, otherwise you will see a Scopus preview (which still contains useful information). įor the Scopus search tool, ideally you should register for your own Scopus API key (without it it will use the demo key which may or may not work) and enter it in the workflow variables. scopusBaseURL: If you use a proxy that changes the base URL, enter it here to replace the default.scopusKey: your personal Scopus API key (see below).appendScopusNotes (default = FALSE): allows you to toggle the behaviour whereby the Scopus URLs are appended back into the Bookends reference note stream.exportPath (default = Desktop): used by betoopml and betobibtex.citationStyle (default = APA 6th Edition): is the Bookends bibliographic style used by bebib when outputting the formatted reference.For example, if you have a temporary citation like so the case is not changed in subsequent processing. beidsearch 📄 - Find a selected uniqueID in Bookends.

Key: 📄: select some text in another app then trigger tool - 🗄: select reference(s) within Bookends then trigger tool - ⌨: trigger tool and enter some text If the tools seems to not work try to manually type ⌘ V and enter. Note: the tools denoted by 📄 utilise Applescript System Events to trigger keyboard bindings with delays the delays work fine for me but may need to be adjusted for you. The workflow is designed for Alfred 3 and 4, and should keep itself up-to-date using OneUpdater. You can use Alfred keywords ( be…) and/or your preferred key binding to trigger them (edit the Hotkey trigger). This Alfred workflow curates around 11 tools together in one interface to integrate between Bookends and other apps. Bookends is an excellent bibliographic/research manager for macOS.
