I’m pleased to share that I have now added Hookmark (both the Standard and Pro editions) to the list of discounted Mac apps for TidBITS members. Hookmark boosts productivity by enabling you to link digital resources on your Mac or on the Web, saving you from having to browse or search for them repeatedly. And if you have any question about Hookmark, @LucCogZest can answer them here. :slight_smile:

I have been reading Tidbits since you started in Seattle. I continue to enjoy being a member and enjoying the benefits now that I am retired.

Thank you for your support and contributions to the Mac / Apple audience! I’ve been reading Tidbits for years now and have found it to be an excellent resource, especially the discounts offered on many fine applications! Saving money is never a bad thing in my book… and the supporting tips and instructions have been very useful. Congratulations on your anniversary!

I’m looking forward to the 35th anniversary “any day now”. I know that I’ve found and lost TidBITs over the years (my attention span wanders badly), but I think that subscribing this year will allow me to stay focused on the value that you bring to the community!
