Reviews like this make all the late nights worth it ❤️

When users tell you your accessibility made a difference... it's the best motivation to find more time to code! 😁

Balancing work, a baby teething, family over Christmas and New Year's, and indie dev life made this update take waaaay longer than planned 😅 But hey, it got there! 🎉

Hope you enjoy the new complications! Worth every sleep-deprived coding session ⚡️🤪

🔋 Unplugged 2.13 is here!

Testing these new complications like…

Someone: ‘What time is it?’
Me: ‘My battery’s at 35%’

😅 Not the answer you were expecting, huh?

Can’t wait for you all to try these on your wrists! ⌚

#IndieDev #AppleWatch #BatteryLife #WatchOS
You asked, I listened:

more complications are coming soon! 🚀👀

Here’s a sneak peek, and trust me, there’s even more that’s not shown here!

Can’t wait for you to get these on your hands… or should I say, wrists! ⌚ 😜

Well, I guess Santa’s running out of gift ideas, because he’s handing out my free Lifetime sub to @unpluggedapp.bsky.social 🎅

If you’ve got an Apple Watch (or know someone who does), might as well take advantage of my attempt at holiday marketing 🎁 Merry Christmas 😄

Why check your phone’s battery when your watch already knows it better?

With v2.12, auto-updating complications are a wrist flick away.

Your phone gets a break, and you get to act like you have your life together. #AppleWatch #BatteryLife

Had a bug in my app @unpluggedapp.bsky.social that I struggled with for months, left it alone for a while, and BOOM! Fixed in 10 minutes the other day. I swear, the code knows when you’re not looking—or the coding gods have a sense of humor. 😂 #IndieDev #DevLife #BugFix

For app developers: What factors do you consider most when setting subscription pricing for your app?

I’m rethinking subscription strategies and would love to hear your thoughts!

Any tips on handling side projects, a full-time job, and an 8-month-old. Is there like an API for more hours in the day? 😅👶💻

👨‍💻 Me: spends months building battery management app

My own phone: dies while typing these tweets...

Oh the irony... 😅
#IndieDevLife #DevLife #DevHumor
🔋 Your phone at 5% battery: "Aight, imma head out"
You: 😱

Tell me your "my battery died at the worst moment" story 👇
Maybe there is potential to turn those into features 😏

Excited to share insights from Setapp’s Mac Developer Survey:

😱 Only 20% distribute apps exclusively in the Mac App Store
🤯 46% use a home-grown solution for distribution
🚀 33% use LLM in development

Excited to be working on @unpluggedapp.bsky.social improvements again. Missed this more than I thought!
