I’ve written six nonfiction books about Apple, and every time during the writing process, I’d grind to a halt because I had no idea how to organize all the material I’d gathered.

So I’d do what every writer has done since time immemorial: I’d take reams and reams of notes, cut them up into small pieces, and then tape them together in an order that made some kind of sense. The trouble is, it rarely did!

Little did I know, there’s a much easier way: Scrivener.

How to fake your GPS location for Pokémon Go and other fun stuff

Fake It Till You Make It
This free, open-source app makes it easy to fake your GPS location.

You can use a free Mac app called LocationSimulator to spoof GPS in Pokémon Go or to hide your real location on your iPhone. After setting it up, you just plug your phone into a Mac and tell it where you want to “be.” You don’t need to jailbreak and you don’t need to install anything on your iPhone.

Every app on your phone will use it as your GPS location. It’s useful for maintaining privacy — for instance, if you’re posting screenshots online, it’ll mask your real home address. Developers can use it, too, for testing location features in their apps.

Best of all, you just need a Mac. LocationSimulator is free and open-source.

What Microsoft Office is to the 9-to-5 worker, Adobe is to designers, photographers and almost anyone working in the creative field. That’s been true for a long time, but fees for this high-end software can be a significant barrier to entry for those looking to use these essential tools.

Not anymore, though. This special offer lets new customers work with more than 20 apps in the Adobe Creative Cloud for only $29.99 (regularly $82) for one month.

I have an app that adds a whole slew of new features to the Xcode Simulator, one that makes it easier managing packages in Homebrew and a better way to download and install Xcode.

All of these tools are, themselves, open source. There are links to each GitHub repo where you can learn from them and compile them yourself.

Here’s the bad news for students, and the good news for writers of any other kind: Despite the hype, ChatGPT isn’t going to do your job for you. There’s always going to be a need for journalists, novelists, screenwriters — and yes, essays that prove you know your subject.

However, while tech can’t replace your creativity, it can make your job a lot easier. Scrivener 3, the latest update to the software that professional writers have been using since 2007, is on sale now at a 50% discount. And Cult of Mac readers can get lifetime access to it for an extra 10% off.
