Keyboard Maestro is a very powerful app. I like it a lot and use it on a daly basis, mostly for navigating through the system with Finder ad for launching apps and some actions. Keyboard Maestro can be a nice window manager two. But I prefer Moom for this task, because it has the nice grid when hovering over a window's plus button (the one which is usually green). I use this function a lot to arrange applications for different tasks. The problem with Moom is, that it does no sync, nor it has an option to export the settings. That means that you'll have to recreate any changes form one Mac to another manually.
I finished the European/German rules. I was faster then I planned I would be, because the rules I had from earlier were not as bad as I thought.

General Stuff about the Rules
I made Hazel rules for dates with the two formats:
- Gregorian little-endian, starting with day (Day-Month-Year, Europe)
- Middle-endian, starting with month (Month-Day-Year, U.S./English)
In addition both versions support the Gregorian big-endian, starting with year (Year-Month-Day) format.
Everybody heard (e.g.
here) of syncing errors, data loss, doubled entries with Calendar and iCloud. But even if iCloud gets more reliable one day, it is nice to have an additional, up-to-date backup of Your Calendar data. Of cause Time Machine does the job, too. But I like having an off-side in-the-cloud backup and I like
Dropbox(referral link). Maybe there are other ways to automatically do the backup, but on a quick web research I didn’t find anything for my needs. So I created a time triggered
Keyboard Maestro workflow, which does the job.
This article is about automatically backing up a Contacts app archive. The whole workflow is very similar to Automatically Backup Calendar to Dropbox with Keyboard Maestro, so I won’t go into details.
I was always frustrated about the way in which iOS and OS X handle iCloud tabs. If I want to open all (maximum) eight tabs from Safari on the iPhone on my Mac, it takes 24 taps. That is very uncomfortable and takes some time.
So - luck me - just when my frustration got very high, macstories.net released an interesting article about automation on iOS, which inspired for my solution.
And so, with the help of Pythonista (and it's creator in the forums), and Hazel on the Mac, I can push tabs from Safari on the iPhone to Safari on my Mac.
