Add a ”Strip Metdata” Service to your context menu (Right-Click Menu) in macOS/Mac OS X. This Service uses ExifTool and Tag (both via Homebrew) or xattr.

1. What you need

  • macOS/Mac OS X (tested only on El Capitan, but should work on Sierra and older versions)
  • Xcode Command Line Tools / Xcode
  • Homebrew (http://brew.sh/)
  • Tag (via Homebrew)
  • ExifTool (via Homebrew)

2. Installing Homebrew, Tag and ExifTool

Keyboard Only OS X

Keyboard-only Mac Cheatsheet

Hi, I'm Lorna and I don't use a mouse. I have had RSI issues since a bad workstation setup at work in 2006. I've tried a number of extra hardware modifications but what works best for me is to use the keyboard and only the keyboard, so I'm in a good position and never reaching for anything else (except my coffee cup!). I rather unwisely took a job which required me to use a mac (I've been a linux user until now and also had the ability to choose my tools carefully) so here is my cheatsheet of the apps, tricks and keyboard shortcuts I'm using, mostly for my own reference. Since keyboard-only use is also great for productivity, you may also find some of these ideas useful, in which case at least something good has come of this :)

Apps List

There's more detail on a few of these apps but here is a quick overview of the tools I've installed and found helpful

AppleScript is a rather peculiar scripting language to learn.
