macOS screenshot of the Passable app in an empty state. The sidebar shows “No Passes” with a note to create the first contact card, while the main area displays a teaser with three styled example cards and the headline “Create a pass that feels awesome!” along with “Create Pass” and “Show Demo” buttons, set against a forest-themed desktop wallpaper.

People said my empty view was too empty, is it still true? #indiedev #macdev

If I bring skeumorphism back with the paper material, why not cover flow too? #indiedev #macdev #iosdev

Tonight I pushed out both, an update for Passable and one for Coca 🍃 Let's go! #macdev #iosdev

macOS screenshot of the Coca 2.0 app on the Start tab, showing activation button options (Left-click selected, Right-click), checkboxes for “Show settings window everytime” and “Launch at login,” and a modern glass-style interface over a lake-and-mountains wallpaper.

macOS screenshot of the Coca 2.0 Deep tab with “Deep Awake” enabled, displaying a large green “On” status indicator and text explaining subtle mouse movement to simulate activity while idle, with a monitoring status indicator below.

Coca 2.0 is coming along well and it's new feature Deep Awake, is already working. Only when you are idle, it moves your mouse ever so slightly. You probably can't even see it doing that. Other apps see it though, their reaction is: 🟢! If you know what that means. 😏 #mac #macdev #indiedev

ButterKit for macOS showing App Store screenshot layout mockups on a blue grid background, featuring iPhone and Mac device frames with Passable previews, marketing headlines like “Paperless Contact Cards for Apple Wallet” and “A Powerful Editor with Live Preview,” testimonial text, and multiple placeholder panels labeled “Drag a screenshot image here.”

I'm trying out ButterKit right now, really liking it so far. Soon I will use it for Coca v2 and Passable. #macdev

macOS desktop screenshot showing two versions of the Coca app side by side: an older About window on the left with tabs like Preferences, Extras, and About, and a redesigned Coca 2.0 window on the right with a modern layout, app cards for Passable and Coca, version information, and links such as Visit Website, Rate it, Support, and Credits, displayed over a lake-and-mountains wallpaper.

A Coca redesign is in the works. I finally revamped the old interface after 10+ years, using modern technology with the old app core. It works flawlessly looking more fresh now! Coca is the biggest platform I have, so it is a hopefully sound marketing move. #macdev #indiedev

Passable Paperless contact cards with Apple Wallet support. Easy to create, beautiful and with remote updates.

We just created a landing page for Passable, you can find it at passable.app. Perhaps you can drop by and click the join TestFlight button? Thanks! #iosdev #macdev. #indiedev

I tried using SwiftUI's new support for rich text in TextEditor. It's nowhere near a replacement for NSTextView on Mac.

You have to open the ruler from the Format menu to show rich text formatting controls. The controls are limited compared to NSTextView's inspector.

The worst issue is […]

Screenshot of the Passable macOS app on a desktop, showing a “John’s Pass” window with a sidebar of passes, a grid of material options in the currently selected background color. (None, Paper, Plastic, Velvet, Hex, Holo, more are hinted at), and a live preview of a bright orange digital contact card with a patterned background and QR code, set against a beach aerial wallpaper.

As usual, I ensured that macOS was not overlooked when incorporating Metal-based shader materials into Passable. Since there is no tilting feature in macOS, the pointer is utilized to create the tilting effect on the card's material. #macdev

In March I will set a launch date for Passable. 🎟️ We need a pre order page and I'm currently gravitating towards an August or October launch. The later one could be a birthday gift for myself. 🎁 Bonus Video! Chose from all SF Symbols for a pass. #iosdev #macdev #indiedev

Looks like we could identify the auth issue with Passable! Soon there will be another TestFlight update that should give basic wallet passes. 🎟️ #macdev #iosdev

Added better keyboard navigation support to my Runestone fork. Now you can tab focus to an uneditable text view and move in it using arrow keys, page up/down and move to top/bottom.

TIL: the URL NSSavePanel returns for a folder does not include a trailing slash while SwiftUI's fileImporter includes the trailing slash.

#MacDev

A macOS app window for Passable showing a three-column layout. On the left is a sidebar with multiple saved passes and rounded icons. The center column contains editable form fields for a person and organization, including name, email, phone, role, and notes. On the right is a live preview of an Apple Wallet–style business card with a soft mint-to-teal gradient background, rounded corners, clear typographic hierarchy, a small avatar icon, contact details aligned in sections, and a large QR code at the bottom.

Passable creates paperless contact passes, for use with Apple & Google Wallet. It allows for editing of passes with live preview, remote card updates and runs on iOS, iPadOS, macOS + visionOS. People interested can use any QR code scanner and will obtain your contact directly! 🤝 #macdev #iosdev

A recurring wish is for a native macOS version of the AGS editor. Broader editor platform support is crucial for expanding the developer base and making game creation accessible to even more users. #MacDev 5/6

Sharing content among apps using AppEntity and Transferable protocol A fundamental characteristic of Apple’s ecosystem user experience is that everything feels like being in one connected system no matter on which of your Apple devices you are operating: think about the capability of copying something from your mac and paste it effortlessly on your iPhone, for example, or

A #Lego #macdev Update: I can now read the character IDs, and have split the project into a library and a SwiftUI App:

Handy!

Running out of space, I built ShutterSlim to semantically group and clean thousands of near-duplicate photos on-device.

Kind of amazed to see it hit #2 paid overall (macOS) in Germany and Top 15 for Photo & Video in the US!

I used to be so excited about #iOSDev and especially #MacDev, and I wanted to watch all WWDC videos ever made, and learn everything I can, CloudKit, Core Data and all newer frameworks and just keep building apps…

And I can't find any of that excitement in me anymore lately for various reasons :\
