Release Notes β€” Supercharge

The rest:

Middle-click a folder in the Finder sidebar to open it in a new tab.

Archive old screenshots automatically

Prevent accidentally dragging text β€” Sometimes you accidentally drag text and it creates a .textClipping file. This prevents that.

Some nice Finder improvements:

Reopen last closed Finder tab with β‡§βŒ˜T

Paste image as file in Finder
Pressing ⌘V in Finder with an image on the clipboard now saves it as a file. Normally, this does nothing.

GitHub - sindresorhus/DSStore: Parse and write macOS .DS_Store files from Swift Parse and write macOS .DS_Store files from Swift. Contribute to sindresorhus/DSStore development by creating an account on GitHub.

I know I know. Super niche. But I was writing a parser (like one does), and thought; why not make an example app for it.

The parser: github.com/sindresorhus...

I'm excited to share that my Shortcutie app is now available on Setapp

The upside down thing was likely a macOS 26 bug. Happened in one of my apps too.

I don’t get why Anthropic hasn’t used Claude Code to rewrite their bloated Electron app as native. Should be much easier than a C compiler.

I’m not stopping. I’ll keep making apps the good way.

I just think it’s soon going to become more of a passion thing than a real business opportunity in general. Which is fine. It’s always been passion for me anyway, not the money.

It will feel more like restoring an old car than running a startup

So being first isnt the edge. The edge is taste, trust, distribution, and going deeper than whats obvious from a quick glance at the UI. Surface ideas get cloned. Depth is harder.

First-mover advantage used to buy you years. Now it buys you a head start at best. U can spend months understanding a niche problem and building something thoughtful, and someone else can recreate a decent version in days just by copying what’s visible, and sell it for cheaper.

I have never seen this many clones of my apps. I guess app dev really is over.

You can also quickly share the result. You get a nice image like this:

I'm not adding more apps unless they are very popular, but you could achieve it yourself if the app supports a custom URL scheme by using the "transform URL" feature in a custom rule in Velja.
