# Tools
If you hadn't noticed, *The Psalms* has shifted quite significantly [of late](https://bilge.world/2021) in focus. Nearly all of my recent posts in [the software category](https://bilge.world/tag:software) have been guides/showoff posts regarding some iOS/iPadOS configurables. I have spent a *lot* of time trying to externally aggregate and present these and many more within various other mediums, like my [Raindrop collections](https://raindrop.io/davidblue), but I thought [a single markdown document](https://bilge.world/tools.md) just might be the trick - especially as a more appropriate replacement for [the Podcast page](https://bilge.world/podcast) atop this blog's header.
This page is an *active work in progress*. Please do share you suggestions/requests on [its GitHub Issue](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/issues/375) or through [any other means you'd like](https://davidblue.wtf/contact).

### TextExpander Snippet Groups
TextExpander has proven invaluable even for a haphazard rube like myself. I've invested quite a bit of time into curating/developing my own snippet groups, and have shared a few.
*Download an archive of actual `.textexpander` format files [here](https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0b9jM8N0HwZUlB3t9lIqnEGzA#TextExpander_Files).*
1. [**Extratext**](https://app.textexpander.com/public/14093096578d4f40eeea15649f5cefbb) is my main snippet group, but it's awfully personalized.
2. [Tot](https://app.textexpander.com/public/4cef7d32b411c6686d50c7eaff75a7a7) is a snippet group for interacting with Iconfactory's [handy little app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tot/id1491071483) via scripting.
3. [Telegram](https://app.textexpander.com/public/de52c54ef169a96393d50cb4752706ce) is a snippet group with utilities specifically to aid Telegram Group/Channel administration.

#### Folderized Icons
macOS icons - from all over computing history - *and* my poor old machine's filesystem - turned into [**wee delights**](https://app.box.com/s/jxvhlxxw6uaf43vsc1ycpwc3anvzb1da) by the magic of [**Image2Icon**](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/image2icon-make-your-icons/id992115977).
