Ohhh, thank you so much for including @zenitizer in this wonderful article about medtiation apps, @pixeldetective 🙏 🧘 🤩

The timing was fantastic with the article being published last week shortly before Zenitizer’s one-year App Store anniversary. The perfect "birthday present" for my app 🥹 Thank you!!

3, 2, 1…. GOOOD MOOORNING

manuel, 1 month ago to random

Hey internet friends 🤗 I have a big announcement to make and this time it doesn't have anything to do with apps 🤓

Last month, our daughter was born and it is so incredible and wonderful to have her in the family now. I haven't been very active here nor done any work recently, as my wife and I were busy getting to know the little one and enjoying quality time to bond as a young family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 🥰

PS: As many of you know I am very fond of dad jokes, so now I am officially entitled to make ‘em 😜

After last year's amazing @DeepDishSwift, I originally planned to attend it every year, but I think this is a very good reason to skip once 👶🥰

Wishing everyone there a wonderful time. Have a slice or two for me (no pineapple!) and see you all at #DeepDishSwift 2025 🍕 https://iosdev.space/@manuel/112372971332676476

Good news everyone! simctl status_bar overrides are working again with Xcode 15 🥳

Just last week, I tediously did the whole, ridiculous “setting my Mac's system time to 9:41am and then frantically trying to take as many screenshots as possible in a minute" thing again when simctl would've done the trick 🫠

https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/720610?answerId=778683022#778683022

Maybe everyone else was already aware (in that case sorry for the noise) but I figured others might've missed this too, so I wanted to spread the good news 🤗

Does anyone have a fix for this or know a setting to prevent this from popping up? https://mastodon.social/@ctietze/112206121621234018

I have to admit that I still haven’t started localizing any of my apps yet but I plan to do it really soon (for real, this time!) and I am so excited to see @TranslateKit features like this because it means the whole process will be so much easier when I finally get around to it 🤓

Check it out and support a fellow indie ( @Jeehut ) dev who keeps building tons of cool things 😉 https://mastodon.social/@TranslateKit/112194782412733841

Just completed another trip around the sun 🥳 🎂 🎈

Fun fact: being born on 03/03 really helped when we moved to the US, as I never had to get used to entering my date of birth differently on forms, since MM/DD and DD/MM are the same 🤓

Oh, @viticci thank you for the shoutout to @daypeek on @connected! I’m just catching up on my podcast queue and hearing my app being mentioned (and with such kind words) was such a wonderful surprise ☺️

And @imyke while you might be right that a podcast is not the right place for feature requests, this particular developer happens to be a listener of the show so it works 😜 Actually just submitted a build with this feature to app review 🤓

A snippet of the Connected podcast episode “The Birds Chirp in the Black Void”. It’s attached for audio purposes so feel free to just have a listen.

Excited to attend the #AppleVisionPro developer lab in Munich again next week to refine both @zenitizer and Day Peek while testing on real hardware 🤓

And I’m super stoked to hang out with @Jeehut who’ll also be there in person 🙌

As an indie developer, App Store Connect can be a source of great excitement but also a source of anxiety (negative reviews, app rejected...) so waking up to this is truly wonderful and has already made my day 💙

Starting the day feeling grateful and optimistic ☕☺️

Thank you to the kind person who left the 5 star review for @zenitizer - these mean a lot, really 🙏

Hey all 👋 My mini calendar at-a-glance app for #AppleVisionPro is almost ready 🚀

✈️Please join the #TestFlight and let me know what you think: https://testflight.apple.com/join/pT6COwt1

🍿The demo video below shows an example day timelapse (note, how the color fades in when the event gets closer 🤓)

So I had an idea for an #AppleVisionPro app yesterday that I prototyped today 🚀

Losing track when you're deep in #visionOS? Here's a floating mini calendar + clock to easily keep an eye on current and upcoming events.

👇 Please let me know if you'd like to join the TestFlight ✈️

💡 Okay. Hear me out: a backpack with a slot for a Mac mini, ventilation and a built-in battery that powers the #Mac + #AppleVisionPro all day.

Add a BT keyboard and you got yourself the perfect ergonomic #setup to carry with you wherever you are 🤓

Would you back the #kickstarter? 🤪

So I’ve rewatched Matrix 1 for the first time in ages and realized for the first time that the movie literally ends with a song by Rage Against The Machine

Took my a while until I got it, haha. 😂

Happy #AppleVisionPro launch weekend everyone 🥳

@zenitizer for #visionOS is live on #ProductHunt today🚀

If you're active there, I'd love for you to join the conversation and share your thoughts: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/zenitizer-for-apple-vision-pro

(Also, there's a 50% first year discount 👀 - also applicable for Zenitizer on iOS or watchOS, of course; you don't need a #VisionPro to take advantage of it)

Have a great weekend, y'all! ☺️

Hey fellow #SwiftUI and #visionOS devs (or those who're just interested in seeing what folks are building in that space). I came across this website which lists apps built for #AppleVisionPro. I already submitted @zenitizer and wanted to share it with you too, so the list of apps can grow until #VisionPro launch day 😉

Hey everyone 👋 @zenitizer, my distraction-free meditation timer for #Apple devices, has been fully optimized and reimagined for #AppleVisionPro and will be available on the App Store on day one. Check out the demo video, if you're interested and find more info in the linked press kit below 👇

manuel, 4 months ago to AppleVisionPro

Hey, fellow #AppleVisionPro #Swift developers 👋

I am stuck trying to submit a build of @zenitizer for visionOS… I added visionOS as a supported destination and it runs the native #visionOS app just fine in the simulator. However when I try to archive it, I get the error message “Invalid Run Destination”...

The build I archived with the iOS run destination does not show up as a possible build for visionOS on App Store Connect either. Any ideas ideas would be much appreciated 🙏

manuel, 4 months ago to keyboard

I just love the freedom to work on @zenitizer from anywhere! And since my new #keyboard, the #Dygma Defy is fully wireless, I can now even have a proper ergonomic "desk setup" wherever I am 🤓 Absolutely loving this keyboard and so far and cannot imagine going back after using it for a couple weeks now ⌨️ #remotework #desksetup #desksetups #indiedev #keyboards

I originally followed the #indiedev hashtag for iOS/macOS/watchOS indie developer content, but there's a lot of game developers and designers posting with the hashtag too and you know what? I absolutely LOVE IT! 🤩

Seeing posts like this "randomly" pop up in my timeline is so much fun and a very welcome "distraction" from time to time 🤓🎮 https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@TroldkarlensHat/111741931628228027

manuel, 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to random

Hey all 👋 I'd love some help judging a design for an in-app announcement I plan to add to @zenitizer tomorrow 🤓

I'd like to start a meditation community on social media to engage with users and let them share their progress, learnings, challenges and hold each other accountable.

Now I'm worried this notice may annoy those who're not interested in social media, despite my efforts to show it tastefully and make it easy to dismiss.

🙏 Please LMK what you think in poll & comments 👇

So, I’ve been waiting for over half a year for my Dygma Defy (super nerdy, mechanical, ergo, split keyboard 🤓) preorder to arrive and it finally did on Friday 🎉

Figured with the timing coincidentally just before Christmas, I might as well try really hard to resist opening the box and wait another two days, put it under the tree and treat it like a Christmas present - and BOY am I excited to unwrap that thing tomorrow 🤩 🎁 🎄

manuel, 6 months ago to random

I don't know how I feel about that...
This is healthy, right? 🫠
