Proper Honest Tech

You've used a Mac for years. Nobody ever actually showed you it.

So you get by on trial, error and guesswork — and quietly suspect there's a better way to do half of it.

Sound familiar?

"I watch your videos and think — how on earth am I supposed to remember all of this?"

I've read that comment thousands of times. It's a fair one. A ten-minute video is brilliant for discovering something — and far less good at helping you use it three weeks later.

Watching isn't learning. That's not your fault, it's the format's.

Why this one sticks

Every lesson, taught three ways at once.

Fifteen years teaching adults taught me one thing above all: people don't learn the same way. So this doesn't pick a format — it does all three, every time.

Questions

Anything else?

Who is this actually for?

Anyone who wants more from their Mac — brand new to it, or years in and only scratching the surface. It starts gently and goes a long way, so you can join wherever you are.

Is there a subscription?

No. One payment, lifetime access. No monthly fee, no renewal, and no later price rise that affects you.

Which version of macOS does it cover?

Both Sequoia and Tahoe are covered throughout, so it doesn't matter which you're on — and macOS 27 is already in production.

Will you keep adding to it?

Yes, regularly — and everything added in future is included in what you pay today.

Can I print the guides?

That's exactly what the PDFs are for. Every lesson has one, made to be printed.

Is this replacing your YouTube channel?

Not a chance — the channel always has been and always will be the heart of what I do. This just goes deeper than YouTube can.

Can I buy it as a gift?

Yes, and it makes a good one. Tick the gift box at checkout, put in their email address, and it goes straight to them.

What if I don't get on with it?

Email me within 30 days and I'll refund you in full, no questions asked. I'd rather that than have you feel short-changed.

Stop guessing your way around your Mac.
