So if you want to know where a device is plugged in you can look in the menu &#8211; no more hunting through the spaghetti of hubs and cables on your desk. Once you&#8217;ve found your device in the menus, click on it and USBleat will tell you about it.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t stop there either &#8211; USBleat Pro will be available shortly, which can itself be customised. USBleat Pro has more options (and sounds) available &#8216;out of the box&#8217;, and additional packs can be downloaded &#8211; just in case the farm yard isn&#8217;t your thing, or if you&#8217;d like something a little more useful than a fun sound effect.<\/p>\n<p>USBleat is available now (for free) on the Mac App Store (https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/usbleat\/id657950431?mt=12)<br \/>\nUSBleat Pro will be available soon, subject to review by Apple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone likes to customise their Mac, perhaps by sticking a sticker or two on its body, or at least with individual screen-savers or wallpaper.
