WhatCable explains cable speed, charging limits, e-marker data, and connected devices in plain English. Name a cable and it tracks how the cable actually performs over time, so you can spot the one that has started misbehaving. No more guessing why a cable charges slow or refuses to drive your display.
Did you know that not every USB-C cable is the same?
If you answered "yes" to that question, then my friend, do I have the application for you!

My buddy Paul1 sent me a link to this macOS app a few weeks ago, but I didn’t have a use case for it until yesterday.
I was reading a few different documents relating to a machine learning contract I just started, and I was getting overwhelmed by the mountains of text on my screen.
Monocle is a very simple utility for macOS that blurs out every app window that is not in the foreground. If you want to see everything, you can shake your mouse back and forth2. If you want it blurred again, you do the same shake gesture.
It’s the best $9 I’ve spent on software in years.
