Unplugged just passed 400⭐
A year ago I was excited about 10.
4.5 stars average. One dev, caffeine, and stubbornness.
Thank you all… even the 1-stars. Those are just spicy feature requests. I try not to cry and just iterate.😂🥲
#buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev
that’s actually fun to think about… different app though. great, now I have another side project idea I don’t have time for 😂
oh that’s actually a cool use case! would love to hear what you think after trying it 🙏
I built Unplugged to disappear into your life. so why am I opening it more than ever? 🤔

Version 3.6 is here 🥳 and this one's been a labor of love.
unpluggedapp.beehiiv.com/p/version-3-...

indie dev math:
€1.70 renewal = nice
€0.99 tip = I will die for you Germany 🇩🇪😂
Whoever you are, thank you. These tiny gestures mean more than you know 💚

New:
Charging animations are coming to Unplugged! ⚡️
The best part? They enable real-time Live Activities on Apple Watch. No delays, no internet needed.
Version 3.5 is in review 🎉🥳
#iOSDev #AppleWatch #IndieDevs
So happy about this 😄
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! 😁
#indiedev #buildinpublic #accessibility
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 ⚡️🤪
#IndieDevLife #SideProject #WorkLifeBalance
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

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

happy xmas everyone! enjoy! 🎄🥳
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
The guy looking back meme with the caption "Indie developer with limited resources", holding hands with a woman captioned "unmet user need", looking back at a woman that with the caption "shiny new feature".
Just another day in the life of an indie developer.
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!

My first open source contribution actually. Here is to many more 🍻😄
Version 1.1.0 of #LinksKit now available! 🚀
LinksKit makes it easy to add essential links like privacy, terms, and ratings to your apps.
This update adds support for Xcode 15 & the addition of Bluesky. Big thank you to contributors Aditya & Christian! 🙏
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... 😅

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
Full report: stpp.co/3ZvBLNU
Disclaimer: Sponsored by Setapp, but these are my genuine takeaways.
That feeling when you get back to your side project after a hiatus... pure joy! ✨
Excited to be working on @unpluggedapp.bsky.social improvements again. Missed this more than I thought!
