Finalist 3 is out after nine months of coding 😅 It's a daily planner that manages your calendars and reminders better than your Reminders app. I'm running a crazy launch special: get a lifetime license for $5 (five!) dollars

I've been having a lot of fun with these new on-device models in iOS 26
There's more to iOS 26 than Liquid Glass: here are some on-device processing experiments, feels like a game changer for getting things done
