11h

For synth-heads, a quick demo of new Condukt running on iPhone Duo with M-VAVE FM1 (and some Japanese tech) youtu.be/efgUDj9KcTE

We woke up to two apps in the iPhone Duo collection in the US ❤️ Make Duo your notebook with penbook and a daily planner with Finalist. Now I just need to find myself a Duo... 😅

Finalist 4.2.3 just went live with even more iPhone Duo yumminess #digitalplanner

If you happen to receive iPhone Duo today, Finalist 4.2.2 is already in the App Store and ready for your calendars and reminders in every pose

14 Sept

Summer's officially over 😅 My app Finalist, a paper-inspired daily planner, comes to iOS 27 and macOS 27: lots new with Siri AI, powered up Tags, Pencil support, full page widgets, and tons more www.finalist.works/4-1/

Two of my apps made it onto the grid 🤩

In today's Installer, David Pierce on Finalist 4: "This app has slowly but surely turned into one of the most robust and clever planner / to-do apps out there." 🤩

As I tend to do, I've let Finalist 4.0 get well overcooked before release (but you don't want your apps medium-rare anyway). After many months of beta testing, 4.0 finally lands on August 11. It's a fine update, the biggest I've had in 3 years.

21 July

Finalist can now ingest markdown vaults and show your Obsidian tasks right on your daily timelines, and even create per-tag or per-project swimlanes. Apart from Notes, Finalist gets a new Apple Watch app and hundreds of other changes driven by our massive Discord community.

finalist.worksThe Next Finalist Is Almost HereOn August 11, Finalist comes for your Watch, and notebooks come to Finalist.

See you in 3 weeks! www.finalist.works/finalist-4-0...

13 July

I woke up to Finalist featured on the App Store in 81 countries (makes great coffee taste even better), right as I'm heads-down finishing 4.0. The beta is on TestFlight now: a new Apple Watch app, plus AI planning built on Apple's on-device models. More soon...

6 July

Just in time for iOS 27 beta 3: I've posted the first Finalist 4.0 beta, and it makes Finalist one of the first apps built on Apple's newest AI stack, including Private Cloud Compute. What that means in practice:

Capture feature now uses Foundation Models' new multimodal image input, blended with the classic system OCR. Point it at a screenshot or photo and a concert on a poster gets added to your calendar, and emails, phone numbers, and websites land in the right fields.

6 July

Building against three moving betas at once (iOS, watchOS, Xcode) is its own adventure, but this is the most fun I've had with Apple's frameworks in years.

Plan My Day gathers your tasks, events, reminders, and habits, checks the day's actual free time and the weather, and drafts a schedule using Apple's Foundation Models. On devices that support it, planning runs on Private Cloud Compute, Apple's new cloud tier with on-device-level privacy.

6 July

The proposal lands directly on the timeline as penciled-in blocks: apply it, adjust it, or clear it and your day is back exactly as it was. No third-party AI, nothing leaves Apple's stack.

Condukt can do Drums now #dawless

I was annoyed how some panoramas looked impressive as custom Environments while others looked shrunk so after some experiments I figured it out: it depends on the lens you used to take the photo. #visionOS #VisionPro

pencilresearch.github.ioPananaramaMake panoramas fill more of your visionOS immersive environment. Corrects the focal-length tag, right in your browser.

12 June

I put together a quick html page that will import any JPG photo, show you graphically how it fills vertical field of view, let you adjust the focal length in EXIF data and save it back out (all on device, doesn't get uploaded anywhere): pencilresearch.github.io/pananarama/

There's more to iOS 26 than Liquid Glass: here are some on-device processing experiments, feels like a game changer for getting things done

The new version is so fun!

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