Well we released Condukt last week and hit top 10 in Music 🤯 #dawless

Me: Just stick to the HIG, design is about saying No

I’m kind of blown away by how robust and thoughtful Finalist is. It’s not a web app with iOS and Mac clients. It’s a suite of native apps designed with care for Apple’s platforms. Auteur software, with a distinctive brand and vision, while remaining idiomatically native.

Received a very kind Finalist teardown from @gruber.foo

Doing something crazy for December:

Turing Machine on Vongon Replay #dawless

Condukt Gets Synths The latest beta was just pushed out, with custom iconography for 60+ synths 🤩 These icons are a labor of love, and they'll be open-sourced alongside the MIDI data they represent (CC-by-SA 4.0 in case...

I love that I get to work on stuff like this #synthsky condukt.app/condukt-gets...

Thanks Bo 😀 I’ve been your Patreon for years now so you kinda inspired it

Very cool to see our little midi.guide database we started years ago appear in its first hardware product 👀 (link to section: youtu.be/WOSiTzH8jE4?...)

Penbook is the App Store's App of the Day We just got some exciting news: Penbook has been selected by Apple as the App Store’s App of the Day!

Our summer grind gave us a nice surprise today: App of the Day 🤩 The app looks amazing in iOS 26, try it on your iPad blog.penbook.app/p/penbook-is...

Virtualizing my TRMNL

Thanks!!

I've been busy with foundation models and glass stuff, but did manage to spend some time building cool visionOS things: bsky.app/profile/dayp...

Making an interactive widget was pretty involved 😅

⏳ Downloading iOS 26 Beta 3...

Next, iOS 26...!

Did you have to do anything else to have them show up? My widgets just don't appear in the Widget app as an option (work fine in iOS and macOS)

Looks great but agreed the spoiler level is off the charts, was almost waiting to see the book ending! 😀

Congrats!! 👏👏👏

Finally got my Torso S-4 onto firmware 2.0, it wasn't in the mood to cooperate last week #synthsky

Very nice! I just bought the top and bottom as VSTs (Korg's 50% sale is on now!), though wish I had the real ones... 🤔

I wrote a bit about implementing Apple Intelligence transcription and summarization features in iOS 26 beta, pretty impressed www.finalist.works/ios-26-and-a...

I've been having a lot of fun with these new on-device models in iOS 26

It's great to have it in there, but I wish it was aware of all the new iOS 26 frameworks 🙃 At the end of the day I'm still back on Claude Code but they're on the right path now

The new version is so fun!

Very cool to hear 😁

This week, I’ve been reading about Sabrina Carpenter and Khaby Lame and intimacy coordinators, finally making a dent in Barbarians at the Gate, watching all the Ben Schwartz and Friends I can find on YouTube, planning my days with the new Finalist beta, recklessly installing all the Apple developer betas after WWDC, thoroughly enjoying Dakota Johnson’s current press tour, and trying to clear all my inboxes before I go on parental leave. It’s… going.

Finalist got a shout-out from @davidpierce.xyz Installer this weekend 😌

I always have to start a search to use them in the simulator, it's not great
