#That lingon how to#
Well, I wanted to know how to say “lingonberry” in Russian (because I want to know how to say everything in Russian), and my dictionaries weren’t helping me fortunately, Wikipedia came to my rescue, and I learned that the word I was looking for was брусника. Mac Gems highlights great nuggets of Mac software, apps that have a high utility, have a sharp focus on a limited set of problems to solve, and are generally developed by an individual or small company.Even as I type, my wife is cooking up a huge batch of Norwegian meatballs for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner, and one of the accompaniments (along with akvavit) is lingonberries. With the strong resurgence of the Mac in recent years, we want to celebrate the tools we use and that readers recommend to make the most of your macOS experience. Lingon last appeared in Mac Gems in 2008 with the release of version 2.1. But it also lets you remove unwanted recurring actions and leftover cruft that could be having an impact on your Mac’s performance. Lingon X makes scheduling recurring tasks a breeze.

Lingon 3 requires Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks or later.
Lingon X requires macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later but offers earlier versions starting with Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. You can download Lingon X and use it at no cost to examine settings, but a paid license is required to save or delete items. Creator Peter Borg offers a feature comparison on the Lingon site.

Lingon comes in two versions: Lingon X ($14.99), downloadable from the developer’s site, with full system functionality, including root access and Lingon 3 ($3.99), a still-useful but more limited Mac App Store program.
Manage all the startup and relaunchable items installed on your Mac.

The app offers insight into all the apps, scripts, agents, and other software that launch when you start your Mac, and which relaunch automatically if macOS finds they aren’t running due to a crash or an intentional action by a user. While this isn’t its primary focus, Lingon X is the best tool I’ve found for beginner through advanced users. I was directed to Lingon by a colleague for a reason other than scheduling, though: to troubleshoot startup problems. Programmers and those who work directly with Unix commands, PHP scripts, shell scripts, and other code will find the ease of setting up and scheduling jobs enormously better than working at the command line. Choosing “Launch again if crashes” in step 4 above can ensure it’s always available. Control how and when it’s run at one or more recurring intervals, whether it’s launched at startup, and whether it restarts if it crashes.įor instance, if you always want a specific app active whenever you’re using macOS, setting it as a startup application should work-but it could crash, you could quit it by accident, or macOS could decide it’s not active.Enter the text for a script or command or select an application or shortcut.Select Application, Script, Command, or Shortcut.
(That last option may be required for certain low-level tasks and should be used with care.)
