The promise of portable dual monitors has always been compelling, but the execution has consistently fallen short, until now. JSAUX’s FlipGo 16” Dual Touchscreen Monitor breaks new productivity ground for Mac users. Unlike some alternatives, the FlipGo Pro leverages both DisplayLink technology and native connectivity to deliver true dual-screen functionality on Apple silicon Macs with a single USB-C cable.

At its core, the FlipGo represents thoughtful engineering applied to everyday workflows. Its two 16-inch IPS panels deliver genuine 2.5K resolution (2560×1600 total resolution), 100% sRGB color accuracy, and 500 nits brightness. The key innovation lies in the FlipGo’s versatility: switch between UltraView mode for a single expansive workspace, DuoViews for independent dual screens, or ABC mode to create a true triple-monitor setup when combined with your MacBook’s display. You can learn more about the benefits of a foldable dual-screen setup in John’s review of the similar non-touch version of the FlipGo Pro here.

Build quality of the FlipGo Pro is superb and is a big part of why it won an iF Design Award and Red Dot award in 2024. The aluminum construction feels substantial without being cumbersome at 1.6kg, while the magnetic mounting system secures everything when the screens are attached to their stand. Even the hinge mechanism is made from premium materials, making it perfect for professionals to take on the go daily.

For those who value integrated workflows, the FlipGo’s built-in USB hub functionality provides two USB-A 2.0 ports and an additional USB-C port, effectively expanding your MacBook’s connectivity while powering the displays. When connected to external power, it even provides reverse charging to your laptop — a thoughtful touch that eliminates battery drain during extended sessions.

Whether you’re a nervous flyer seeking peace of mind or simply want to know what to expect on your upcoming trip, Turbulence Forecast delivers the most detailed turbulence predictions available anywhere.

One of the most beloved indie weather apps just got a massive overhaul, and it’s worth checking out as your new daily driver. The whole app has been modernized and rebuilt from the ground up, and it feels great.

Hello Weather has always been known for its simple, friendly, super readable design, but the new update pairs that simplicity with more depth, sophistication, and powerful new features.

There are beautiful new summaries and visualizations for over a dozen data points like Wind, Air Quality, UV Index, and Moon phases. That’s along with extended hourly forecasts, excellent forecasts for the week ahead, and tons of little options to tune the app’s icons, themes, and layouts however you like them.

The new update addresses some longstanding feature gaps, too: Hello Weather now has push notifications, a revamped radar, and an excellent refreshed Apple Watch app and complications.

It also supports a dozen different data providers. You can switch from Apple Weather’s forecasts to ultra-detailed info from AccuWeather, Foreca, The Weather Company, and lots more. Stick with the source that’s best for your area, or swap between them to compare forecasts.

Hello Weather respects your privacy, with one of the best data collection policies in the category. The app doesn’t track any user-identifiable data, sell ads, or anything like that. It’s a customer-focused app, thoughtfully designed, and made with care.

Download Hello Weather and start a 7-day free trial.

Inoreader, a powerful platform for content discovery and consumption, is becoming smarter with the launch of Inoreader Intelligence – a suite of AI-powered features designed to help users save time, gain meaningful insights, analyze, and act on valuable information faster. Whether you’re diving into daily news, tracking niche industry updates, or conducting in-depth research, Inoreader Intelligence transforms how you process information with the introduction of article summaries and Intelligence reports.

The first addition to the suite, article summaries, brings instant clarity to your content. A new Summarize button appears inside every article, allowing you to generate a quick overview, explore a specific aspect with customizable prompts, or even ask your own questions – all within the Inoreader interface. You’re in full control: tailor how the feature looks and behaves, set your preferred language, and define a prompt persona to suit your workflow. Summaries are fully searchable, saving you time not just in the moment, but also later.

With the newly introduced Intelligence reports, Inoreader levels up bulk content processing. Select multiple articles at once and run custom or predefined prompts to extract insights, compare sentiments, and create reports. Once generated, each report becomes a new article, ready to annotate, export, or share. Want to collaborate? Reports can be made public or shared privately across Teams.

Article summaries are available in Inoreader’s Pro, Custom, and Team plans, while Intelligence reports are included in the new Team Intelligence plan and offered as an add-on for Pro and Custom users. All plans include monthly Intelligence tokens, and if you prefer more control, you can connect your own OpenAI API key for added flexibility.

With Inoreader Intelligence, you don’t just collect information – you save time while understanding it faster and better. Explore article summaries and Intelligence reports today at Inoreader.com, or download the app from the App Store or Google Play to experience smarter reading!¹
