Using iPad as my main computer - the #iPadOnly way

😎 🕹️ 📱 My good old iPad 3 is very useful in the kitchen for family Calendars and FaceTime!

Back in April of 2012 I started my #iPadOnly journey with a retina iPad 3. Turns out this 13-year old device can be still pretty useful. A few years back I put it on the wall of my home office but recently I moved it to the kitchen and it’s awesome there:

A few years back I wrote a tutorial how to download videos to the iPad using youtube-dl and a-Shell app but it stopped working because of a court order. Luckily there’s a fork of this called YT-DLP which you can use again. Here’s how it works:

Thursday, July 18, 2024 /cellular/

As an iPad fan, the person who uses iPad as the main computer and who loves working on an iPad and who just happily upgraded to the M4 iPad Pro, I get asked a lot about choosing the best configured iPad for people’s needs. Recently I’ve been asked whether it’s worth it to upgrade to the “cellular” model. My answer in most cases is YES and here’s why:

As a devout #iPadOnly user, I’ve posted my first and second impressions of the new iPads but now that I’ve lived with one for almost a month, I can offer a better verdict… and it’s very positive! The new 13” M4 iPad Pro is something else! Here’s why:

Last week I posted my first impressions on the new 13” iPad Pro and since I’m still happy with my current, almost-three-year-old M1 iPad Pro, I’ve decided to wait up until the first reviews show up and the iPad is on sale so I can touch it and feel the difference. I’m impressed:

Yesterday Apple unveiled the new iPad Airs and iPad Pros and since my current (awesome) iPad Pro 13” is going to turn 3 years old in 2 months, I’m searching for a reason to replace it with a new one.

Monday, October 16, 2023 /journal3/

I love Journaling and have been since 2016 using a custom Workflow and later Siri Shortcuts. Every once in a while I’ve been tweaking my Journaling Shortcut, most recently last year. However, everything can be improved and this summer as I’ve been preparing a stand-alone Gratitude Siri Shortcut I’ve decided to also upgrade my Journaling shortcut and most importantly - add Apple Notes support. Here’s what’s improved and why you should start journaling if you haven’t already:
