Being a member of the MacSparky Labs is like having your favorite nerd buddy around the corner and available for frequent cheerful visits to chat about making the most of life in the world of Apple tech. Labs interludes with MacSparky are a great way to cheer up, refocus, learn something fun and new, and get away from the disruptive clamor of things.

I have been a member of the MacSparky Labs since its beginning. For years, I have known David's ability to publish very good information with practical applications in a variety of avenues. Since he has left the law practice and devotes all of his time to the Labs, I find amazing the constant flow of information. I cannot keep up with all of the videos and notes on various aspects of the Apple world. However, when I grab something that appears to be of interest to me, it never disappoints in assisting with the practical application. Highly Recommend!

Joining the Labs for me was a no brainer choice. I have listened to MPU from the very beginning and many of the apps and workflows we use are a direct result of MPU and Sparky. The Labs has given me a community, to which I admittedly do not contribute nearly enough, to inform and educate me on how others get the job done using their tech. The big events are great, like the meet ups and focus work sessions, but the little 6 - 10 minute videos of tips, tricks, and workflows that Sparky sends out regularly create a lot of value for me. I don't always have the time to commit and hour or more but I can almost always take the time to watch shorter clips. I usually pick up a few great things out of the short videos. Most important, I see value in what financial support I give to Sparky. Yes, the Labs and other things might seem expensive, but the ability to directly support a creator who makes such impactful content. Truly, for what I pay versus what I get out of my Labs membership there is true value there for me.

Have you ever wanted a friend that was always making amazing recommendations about your technology? Providing a tip here or a video how to there? It seems David was always publishing something "just in time" to add value to my tech life!

MacSparky Labs brings me updates on topics I find both interesting and useful delivered in the familiar and friendly style that David Sparks brings to all of his work. The frequency of updates keeps me fresh and provides a regular stream of new learnings and ideas on how I can make better, more effective use of my Apple technology tools - both hardware and software. His constant curiosity keeps me motivated with fresh ideas I can put to use in my day-to-day life. I highly recommend participating in MacSparky Labs!

David is an exceptional and rare guide for anyone navigating the often frustrating world of technology. His calm, thoughtful approach has been a godsend. I can't imagine trying to figure all this stuff out on my own.

MacSparky has long been my go to for learning about all things Apple. He makes learning easy and his enthusiasm is contagious. I had anxiously been awaiting his Obsidian Field Guide and it does not disappoint. The Field Guide turns what could be a daunting but powerful application into something truly amazing! Thank you MacSparky for caring about your work as you do! Ivy Joseph

I am happy to be a MacSparky Labs supporter. David’s observations and advice are nearly always useful and often thought provoking. David still thinks like a lawyer in terms of noting issues and formulating how to address them in a supportive and productive manner and it is great to gain his insights on breaking software and methods of work.

More than anything, I appreciate David’s attitude. He is forthright and speaks his mind about issues he cares about. The passion he has for all things Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple and his caring for his customers come through in all that he does. As well, he imparts a positive attitude in whatever he writes about.

Being a part of MacSparky Labs is like having David right by my side as I continue to refine my workflows and get the most out of my Apple devices. The membership carries across various channels and includes podcast episodes and video recordings. Each piece of content is assigned a difficulty rating. David’s instructions are always so clear, it feels as if I could tackle any of what he sends our way.

Everyone says ā€˜I try to under promise and over deliver’ when they are providing a service.ā€œ ā€œUnder Promise?ā€ Check. ā€œOver Deliver?ā€ Not so much. The way David Sparks ā€œover deliversā€ with MacSparky Early Access is jaw-droppingly good. It’s just……staggering how good it is. Sign up. Best technology spend you’ll ever make.

When David Sparks announced his membership program in early January of this year, I immediately joined the highest level. I knew the quality of his work and trusted he’d produce much more. My expectations have been exceeded. I receive a constant flow of exclusive, excellent-quality material. This includes video tutorials, weekly Apple updates, ā€œdeep diveā€ zoom calls to cover topics in-depth, planning sessions, member ā€œvirtual meetupsā€ with David, podcasts, newsletters, etc. I’ve learned new skills, enhanced my productivity systems, and gained new insights. My creativity has been sparked with new ideas to think about and write about in my blog. As a member of MacSparky labs, I’ve received more value per dollar than anything I’ve paid for in years. There’s no question that I will renew my membership for another year!
