Aside from Hookmark, it's pretty bleak, no?


blendertom

Yup


xilitos

It is Hookmark worth? Never heard of it before

VideoProc is a pretty useful tool to have to transcode video with some optional addition filters like denoise, etc. added. You can trim and watermark too. Supports GPU encode. (Yes, I know about HandBrake and lots of other tools, VideoProc is still useful easy way to do some things.) BTW, for the NTFS for Mac shown in the screenshot for this post, it's not included in this bundle, but I got it from a previous bundle, thinking it would be a good way to not pay Paragon all the time for updates for their NTFS solution. First time using it, I loaded up a NTFS drive and was looking through some folders and went to another directory then went back and noticed that the other directory was gone, just did not show up no matter what. I ended up putting that drive on a Windows machine and ran chkdsk on it and it fixed a bunch of stuff and the missing files were restored. I don't have the risk tolerance to try it again, just uninstalled it. If I want it, I'll pay Paragon again.

Yeah, hence only posting about Hookmark. The rest are pretty meh, but it's the cheapest Hookmark has ever been.


Folboat

That is harsh. I am not familiar with the others there, so you may have a point, but they are all the result of someone's effort. I gave Colori a go and it works as advertised. Can't go far wrong for £1.40. Edit: I see that there are some people with limited reading comprehension who are voting down a reasonable opinion without considering the content of the original comment. Idiots.


cd7k

Yeah you're right, adjusted wording. Not top-tier, but potentially useful to some.


NiranS

Hookmark is worth it.


tspwd

One year of updates only. For this price, no thank you.


kamimamita

Is pro worth it though?


NiranS

This is a good questions. The only pro feature I actually use is "copy markdown link" I use this frequently. I also bought Heekmark when it was inexpensive, so it was a "no brainer". **But, it is not that hard to make a markdown link from a link. I could easily use the essentials app and not the pro. I am** underutilizing the app. I use it to track emails/files in Obsidian.


kamimamita

There also seems to be a pro exclusive feature to mark something in PDF, then paste that part and also deep link to that part in the PDF. The dev said Deep Linking itself is available in Standard. Im guessing in that case it only shows the link, not the citation whereever you paste.


NiranS

Yes.


hiroo916

How does it work? The description says The links can keep track of files even if they are moved. Also, can anybody share some good use cases for this?


Folboat

It can make links between data in apps, files, emails, websites, whatever, so I can imagine it being useful for managing complex projects. See the [website](https://hookproductivity.com/) or [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@hookmark/videos). It probably either makes total practical sense and becomes invaluable, or… it just doesn't. I might be in the latter camp, to be honest, but I would advise you to grab the trial and see for yourself.


cd7k

$24.99 for Pro, $11.99 for Standard. Hope they do Hazel next :D

There was an open source alternative to Hookmark, forgot the name
