This is part 1 of a two part series. Read the followup on the value of third party apps here. I was chatting with Andy Nicolaides recently about task managers (as you do), and he was telling me how he tried using Things again after my recent article about how
Intro First things first, I am a strong believe in the idea of “offloading your brain” into a task management system. This means everything I need to do in the future, and I do mean everything, gets logged as a task in my task manager. I find this frees up
I've had the itch to mock up something for a little while and Apple's recent acquisition of Dark Sky was the perfect inspiration to do something in the weather app space. This is a quick mock up, and took about 2 hours this afternoon, so no,
Unread is one of those apps that just has an incredibly loyal following. It’s not the biggest player in the RSS space, but so many people I respect love it that it is always an app on my radar. Despite this love, Reeder has remained my go-to RSS app
I don’t often link to iMessage sticker packs, but this new one from Alyssa Guerrero and Timothy Buck got my attention. Decline is a sticker pack that has 25 fun ways to say “no” to people in iMessage. I personally like the “I must decline for secret reasons” one

Here’s a shot taken on the iPhone Xs: And here’s the same scene taken with the Pixel 3a: Not so pretty right? Well here’s Google’s much lauded Night Sight doing its best: And here’s NeuralCam doing it’s best in this same insanely low light
You’ve probably heard a million times how great Keyboard Maestro is, but you likely have the same question as everyone else: this seems cool, but I don’t know how to use it. I can’t tell you how you should use it, but I can show you a
Check out my first review for The Sweet Setup to find out! In short, the app needs need to embrace the numerous avenues you might want to use to interact with it. A nice app interface is welcome, but the best apps focus on great experiences from notifications and all
(That thing where you write a terribly punny post title without even realizing it.) App developers seem to be treating WWDC as a deadline to get their big updates/launches out of the way. Presumably, this will let them devote much of their summers to updating for whatever goodies will
8 months ago I released my first app to the iOS App Store: Today’s Forecast. The app was intended to be the weather app I’ve always wanted to use, and I did a really good job of doing that. It’s still the weather app I have on
A small update to Today’s Forecast just hit the App Store! Version 1.2.3 includes the following changes: * New seasonal theme! * Modified the Halloween and standard dark themes to look better on the iPhone X * Fixed a small bug in the Halloween theme displaying weather alerts * Removed alternate
This is a sad day: Transmit iOS made about $35k in revenue in the last year, representing a minuscule fraction of our overall 2017 app revenue. That’s not enough to cover even a half-time developer working on the app. And the app needs full-time work — we’d love to
