The scene from Mean Girls where Cady narrates “on October 3rd he asked me what day it was” with the answer “it’s October 3rd.” Except the caption has been badly edited to read “On October 3rd he asked me what day is the best day to build an app with Bitrig” with the answer “It’s October 3rd”

Don't worry, friends. Bitrig is taking care of waking Billie Joe up this year.

Three prompts later (including, "can it feel more emo?") and we have the perfect app for the last day of September. #BuildInPublic #Bitrig #SwiftUI #Swift

An app called "Green Day Alarm" that sets an alarm for October. It has lots of lyrics from "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and guitar emoji.

Bitrig just got a makeover! The UI now reflects the iOS 26 Liquid Glass design language, and it's ready to make your apps look just as great. It also incorporates the new Foundation Models, brings support for Sign in with Apple, and fixes a whole bunch of bugs.

Bitrig showcases the new Liquid Glass design language, with a glassy overlay on top of a colorful photo. The message UI is up, with the text "Hey Bitrig! Liquid Glass sure looks great on you. Make me an app to celebrate! 🎉"
