Most support emails I get for Amore are actually just questions or issues about the Sparkle Updater. I try to document each issue to have a help article I can send to future developers.

So far all issues could have been solved by taking a look at the official Sparkle documentation.

Many first-time Mac developers struggle to correctly use the icon they created using the icon composer. I kept repeating myself, so I wrote a little help article to send to people who struggle with that issue.

Some WIP screenshots of the Amore licensing self-serve customer portal.

Users will be able to login to the portal using their email address. The portal lets them manage and revoke license activations.

Here are some early screenshots of the Amore licensing interface for developers.

The Amore licensing system is now functional. Need to polish things and write about it.

If you are planning to self-publish your Mac app soon, this will be very interesting to you.

Something I really miss since Amore is out of early access is talking to developers. When it was in early access, every developer who wanted to use it had to go through me, and I was learning so much from them in every single conversation. Now, barely any developer bothers to contact me.

Maybe I'm not clever enough, but taking shortcuts has never worked out for me.

I stopped trying to take them years ago.

Honesty and kindness always pay off in the long run.

It's still WIP, but I thought it could be useful to already share the public API surface of the AmoreLicensing SDK to get your input.

Today was a good day.

Sometimes life feels like you are a contestant in Takeshi's Castle.

Planning to have the Amore licensing system ready at the end of the month.

Any interested developers who want to integrate licensing into their app?

DM me for early access and docs.

Designing an SDK is incredibly fun and challenging.

There is so much to learn for me.

Happy to announce that work on the Amore licensing system & Swift SDK has begun.

Will share more soon.

The #Amore CLI reached feature parity with the Mac app, which means you and your agent can now access the full power of Amore right from the command line.

You build and Amore takes care of publishing your Mac app.

We need a guillotine emoji.

It’s 2026, and people still post articles on platforms like Medium or X where people off the platform can’t read them. 😑

Just realized amore.computer is featured on Dead Simple Sites. 👌

Since last week 6 more Mac apps were published with Amore.

I am really happy with the early love this project is receiving.

Recently gave the Amore CLI some love, bringing some of the app's features to the command line.

`amore release` archives signs, creates DMG, notarizes, and publishes new versions of your Mac app.

This makes publishing Mac apps for developers and their agents easier.

Looks perfect actually. Just a bit ugly., Will look into it.

Monologue's onboarding is slowly coming together.

I wish there was an open-source, E2E-encrypted Dropbox alternative that can use any S3 as storage backend.

Ideally with client apps for macOS and iOS.
