You’re not the only one who geeks out about productivity, workflows, and making technology work better. Join a community of like-minded people who understand your passion for optimization—and get direct access to the experiments that make MacSparky possible.

MacSparky Labs has three membership tiers, each designed for different levels of engagement.

Member ($5/month or $50/year) is the foundation — you get exclusive blog posts, videos, the weekly Lab Report podcast, a weekly tutorial video, the Labs Book Club, and access to the Member Discord. It’s a great way to support the work and get content you won’t find anywhere else.

Insider ($10/month or $100/year) adds live interaction and even more tutorial videos. You get monthly meetups with me on Zoom, the Friends of Dave interview series, Field Guide discounts, co-working sessions in the Momentum Club, and the collaborative Jam Sessions where we explore tools and workflows together.

Pathfinder ($20/month or $200/year) is the full experience. Everything above, plus early access to Field Guides in production, monthly Deep Dives on advanced topics, quarterly planning sessions, and exclusive Pathfinder content. This is for folks who want to go deep.

The magic happens in our live sessions. Whether it’s a monthly meetup diving deep into focus modes, a book club discussion that changes how you think about time management, or a Momentum Club session where we all tackle our most important projects together, you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed.

This is where productivity nerds become friends, where casual conversations lead to breakthrough insights, and where your curiosity about optimizing every aspect of your digital life is not just welcomed—it’s celebrated.
