![]() ![]() I cannot recommend enough the work these guys are doing, if fonts are your thing. I'm sure it's possible this feature is available elsewhere, but I'd be surprised if it was done better and for free. Any font I add into my watched folders immediately becomes available for activation in FontBase on both machines and easily locatable. These then become available when I sync my Macbook which has the same FontBase setup for when I work remotely. I have manually sorted my fonts into folders named by style categories on my iMac, which I sync to my cloud backup. While I really love the speed and minimal fuss approach the developers have taken with the UI, for me, the ability to 'Add' watched folders is the deal sealer. I renewed my annual subscription for my second year now just the other day. Although there were some features the paid version included that I felt would be useful, I mainly felt that a piece of software that is so well thought out, so well supported and also reasonably priced, deserved my hard earned dollars. Then I stumbled onto FontBase, tried out the free version and loved it. For years I struggled with the clumsiness of Font Book on my Mac, mostly because it was free. Also, note that you can’t add more than 2500 fonts to your library for free.As a graphic designer, font management is critical, especially as I have over 4000 fonts on my system. The free plan provides the majority of MainType features except for custom views, export, font activation plugins for Adobe InDesign, and some others.
