In addition to my stalwart Microsoft Office 2011-installed with a license of, ahem, questionable origin-my list of 32-bit programs also includes a line item for “Dashboard Widgets.” No one, including Apple, wanted to gut and renovate their widgets for the 64-bit future. Apple helpfully points out those programs for you in its System Information menu. Once you upgrade, any program that hasn't made the jump will break for good and refuse to launch. MacOS Catalina took the final step, dropping support for 32-bit applications. A few years ago, Apple began transitioning away from 32-bit applications in favor of 64-bit software that takes better advantage of modern, high-performance processors. They are perfect for reminders on single events, lunchbreaks, weekends, paying your monthly bills or birthdays and holidays. I guess I see why Dashboard had to go, alas. These counters can be repeated daily, weekly, monthly or yearly which advance automatically when the alert goes off. Manage your tasks Fast and easy goal tracking Track. And the tools you use to get through the day, however flawed or idiosyncratic they may be, take on a pleasant intimacy as tangible extensions of your mind. Sync with Mac requires Be Focused Pro for OS X, sold separately. (There's a perfectly good macOS Dictionary app, for example.) But sometimes routines become part of your interior life. All of the tools were readily available to me in a number of other equally convenient or perhaps superior formats. I’m not trying to convince you that my constant Dashboarding was particularly smart or efficient.
