I'm building a macOS app that types text into a terminal on the user's behalf: saved prompts, code snippets from a diff, branch names, clipboard text. By default nothing is submitted (there's an opt-in auto-send), so I assumed that was safe. It isn't.…

Oreja is an open-source macOS menu bar utility, but the part I think is most relevant here is the architecture. Core Audio process discovery and taps live in an adapter package; samples feed a LevelSampler and speech-shape detector; a platform-neutral…

I converted a project to this new default setup and i’m wondering if i did it right or i misunderstood something. So basically all code besides the UI has the nonisolated keyword in front now.…

I’m starting to plan where to go with my L&D budget next year. Which Swift or iOS conferences are on your list for 2027, and why? Useful to hear: Which ones you’d go to again, and which weren’t worth it In-person or online What makes a conference worth…

I’ve been working on a native code editor for iPhone and iPad, and one of the more interesting problems has been making Swift files comfortable to read and edit without reprocessing the entire document after every keystroke.…

Hey everyone, If you run CI workflows for Mac or Linux apps, you know how fast cloud runner costs—especially macOS build minutes—can stack up on platforms like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.…

I was really excited for Swift 6.4 mainly to reduce unsafe call sites. However, I could not reduce as many unsafe call sites due to some critical features being part of the stdlib rather than the language.…

Swift Language Models is a wrapper that brings other providers' language models into Apple's native Foundation Models API. Foundation Models 27 lets any type conform to LanguageModel, and this package provides those conformances.…

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a hybrid architecture pattern I’ve been working on for a macOS desktop client called Helix SQL (https://gethelixsql.com).…

Pagewren is a SwiftUI app that turns the photos in your camera roll into book pages you can flip through. When iPhone Duo came out on October 23, we wanted the app native on both screens from day one. Most of it just worked.…

Hi, It's Noah, founder of Proxyman ❌ Problem I'm trying to solve: Agent can't control my real iPhone 18 to test some features I had to test manually, and it's wastes of time.…

Most of my Swift work I provide open source as swift-institute: about 400 packages, Apache 2.0, including libraries like swift-html and swift-pdf. This one is different, a paid app, so here’s a heads-up. Agents write all my code now.…

I just released AnswerSearch in open source. This is a Swift Mac app I put on the Mac App Store a few months ago. Source code on GitHub at ancientcomputing/answersearch-oss.…

Long-time lurker, first post! Been building a macOS menu bar app in Swift 6 (SwiftUI and AppKit). Hotkey, select a capture, click to drop numbered dots to annotate, and type/dictate a note for each dot. Repeat across multiple captures creates a "round".…

I’m not asking out of curiosity - I’m trying to understand if there’s a viable solution to a problem I’ve come across whilst working on a mobile app for a local start-up.…

Coding agents pick iOS dependencies from training data, so they can't tell whether a library still ships releases or what iOS version its current release needs. This repo is a catalog of 91 iOS libraries and tools in 55 categories.…

I am currently in the process of developing a PRIVATE iOS app. The main requirement of the app is that I need consistent location tracking 24/7, and I would love if it would work without even having to keep the app open in the background.…

Building PaperConfetti involved experiments with SwiftUI animation, Canvas, Core Animation layers, emitter particles, and SpriteKit. One decision I’m happy with: those experiments didn’t all become options in the public API.…

I wanted a physical three-finger click on the trackpad to open a panel in my menu bar app. There's no public API for that: NSEvent gives you clicks and gestures, but not "how many fingers were down when the button went down".…
