Thanks @robinkanatzar.bsky.social for giving @chroniclingapp.com an accessibility once over in this video! I will be checking out audio graphs soon

🙂‍↔️ I turned on the head shake to dismiss gesture when I got new AirPods and I've found it surprisingly useful. Particularly good while running and I love the little bleep bloop noises it makes as you move from side to side

This is a great showcase of using Shortcuts with Apple Intelligence by @stephenrobles.com, with links to every example Shortcut included www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wu5X...

🍽️ If you’re in England or Wales, here’s a quick shortcut for #iOS to query Food Hygiene Ratings, with an option to open the result in Maps www.icloud.com/shortcuts/81...

Awesome to see @chroniclingapp.com amongst such excellent company with many of my favourite apps!

☕️ Looking forward to diving into the lovely ebook versions of the @macstories.net OS reviews after a very busy few weeks updating @chroniclingapp.com (thanks for the mention in the Foundation Models section!)

🎉 Chronicling 1.6 is here and ready for #iOS26! ✨ Smart Events transforms your text into structured events 🔎 Unified search tab 🍭 Interactive chart “lollipops” apps.apple.com/us/app/chron...

🙌 Ready to go on Monday @chroniclingapp.com #iOS26

The incentive to upgrade to an #iPhone with Apple Intelligence feels much stronger with #iOS26 and the availability of Foundation Models to third party apps. There's so many quality of life improvements across many different domains in TestFlight betas I've seen #AppleEvent

One of the key things for a tracking app is reducing friction. I’m working on extracting events from natural language in @chroniclingapp.com with Apple’s new Foundation Models in #iOS26 and it’s looking really promising

🔥 New interactive heatmap widget now available in v1.5.8, with options to highlight zero days and hide axes labels

A couple of before and after views of @chroniclingapp.com on #iOS26. Given I use #SwiftUI native elements, most things do pretty much "just work", but I'll be thinking more about the future of the design over the beta season

Working on a new interactive widget for @chroniclingapp.com, aiming for release in the next week or two #SwiftUI #iOS

Jumping back into #Nintendo gaming for the first time since owning a Switch pre-baby in 2021. First impressions really positive - for me the size and weight is the sweet spot between the original and the Steam Deck. Open to game recommendations for things to catch up on! #Switch2

I set up four menu based shortcuts on my Home Screen - mostly opening apps to particular views, or asking for text and sending it somewhere, and it’s really helped make my habitual phone pick ups less wasteful

I am beyond thrilled to finally share this! 🥹 Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day - and Apple sat down with me to talk about how I build accessible apps. 🦾 The interview is now live on the *front page* of the App Store: apps.apple.com/at/story/id1... #GAAD #A11Y #accessibility #indiedev

A bit late catching up on my podcasts, but thanks so much to @forestofthings.bsky.social, @hotdogsladies.bsky.social, @ttscoff.bsky.social and @filmgirl.bsky.social for mentioning @chroniclingapp.com on Overtired, and for your generous words about the craft of indie app development.

☀️ With the weather getting brighter every day here in the UK, it feels like a good time to share my sunscreen check shortcut. Set it up as an automation to get a notification each morning letting you know when the UV index suggests putting on some sun protection www.icloud.com/shortcuts/22...

After several months of cold, dark training runs, it was a surprise to run the Cambridge Half Marathon on Sunday in beautiful sunshine and 18°C! While the sun was lovely afterwards, I think around mile 8 I was pretty desperate for a classic British grey cloud 😅

🔢 v1.5.1 includes improvements to the category view, with totals and averages which update with the chart as you swipe through time. New buttons also allow you to jump back to the first ever event and forward to the present day.

After a brief hiatus while doing my taxes (yay!), I’m now exploring adding timed events to @chroniclingapp.com. This uses the existing count field to save minutes or seconds tracked, with an optional target 🍅

One of the most requested features is now available in v1.5 - import and export all of your data to and from csv. Check it out from Settings 💾

Great segment from Devon on what and how to track - unsurprisingly a topic close to my heart 😁 thanks for the @chroniclingapp.com mention!

If you use Octopus Energy in the UK, @robowen.io has made a cool annual recap. No need to be a current user or subscriber of Octoscope. Slightly terrifying to see the carbon number 🌲

Catching up on my podcast queue and sad to hear the Automators podcast is ending - what a great run. I'm sure I'll be digging into the back catalogue for a while yet

🎉 Thrilled to see @chroniclingapp.com win Best Watch App in the 2024 MacStories Selects awards. Such an awesome celebration of indie apps that I still can't believe I'm a part of. The accompanying episode of @appstories.macstories.net is well worth a listen too 🎧

Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a play on the @chroniclingapp.com app name... 2024 Chronicled coming soon

Parent brain overflowed into work brain this week when I read out an initialism of a networking protocol during a meeting using phonics 🙃

I'm happy to announce my new game: "The Art of Fauna" for iPhone & iPad. It will launch on February 3rd 2025, but you can pre-order it right now on the App Store: apps.apple.com/app/apple-st... Learn more in this thread 🧵 & please share! #indiedev #TheArtOfFauna

It was a real privilege to speak at @nslondon.com last week - thank you so much to @aledles.bsky.social and the team for putting together such a wonderful event and to Karl and the folks at Apple for hosting us at the spectacular Battersea campus.

👋 Battersea! Getting ready for @nslondon.com this evening. Hope to see some of you there 😊

I started a starter pack specifically for indie apps available on Apple platforms. Let me know if you have an indie app account that you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/HD3MfQF

Looking forward to Thursday!

👋 Hi! I've been mostly active on mastodon, now getting started over here. I found these starter packs helpful: Apple Developers I go.bsky.app/66G7TY4 Apple Developers II go.bsky.app/M8xLgeS MacStories go.bsky.app/MSyjAAg Tech Media Pack 1 go.bsky.app/AEMihLp Tech Media Pack 2 go.bsky.app/QitE4xm
