ICYMI, I launched ,,Done’’ yesterday, a minimal #macOS menu bar app dedicated to tracking your completed tasks. Unlike traditional to-do apps, Done focuses on what you’ve already achieved, helping you keep a clear record of your accomplishments.

It’s on Product Hunt today. if you happen to hang out at such places, I’d really love your upvote! 😇

App Review rejected my macOS menu bar app, Done, because the “app menu is missing the required Quit option.“

However, the app allows a quit operation by right clicking the menu bar app icon and choosing quit. Do menu bar apps usually support other methods to quit? Is it possible they didn’t try this?

@JTostitos Hopefully that’s all it’ll take! If so, we could be seeing Done on the App Store reeaaaaaaal soon

A wild icon has appeared!

Any guesses? Hint: it’s NOT a todo app 😊

Big progress on the app today. Core Data fully implemented, added 2 new features after discussing the app with my wife this morning.

Creating something that I will actually use on a daily basis is a great driver for simplicity and usability.

Hopefully this weekend I can get some good screenshot material for a more detailed announcement next week 😎

TGIF friends!

I’m working on a new macOS menu bar app that’s all about tracking tasks. But it’s not a todo app. Huh?

Announcing “Done” - the minimalist app for tracking things you’ve already done.

Whether it’s keeping a running list of tasks related to a work project, an indie dev app, a customer initiative, etc, Done is the easiest way to log your completed work and be on your way. Complete with tags, charts, and data export, the app is designed to be unobtrusively useful and dead simple to use.

Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in. I’ll be sharing more details soon!

A friend told me I could “totally get a job as an iOS developer” given I’ve published several apps with a decent amount of polish.

I replied that my apps prove I can tinker until something works, but I would brilliantly fail a developer interview since I’ve never truly studied development from a professional perspective.

I also constantly wonder if I did iOS development as my profession, would it drain all the enjoyment I get from it? There’s something to be said about why hobbies are hobbies and the ability to work at them at your own pace and in your own style …

@brandonhorst It’s the balance of education vs real world experience I guess. It feels like employers are caring less about the formal education bit and more about the individual’s potential. At least the companies I’d be interested in would function that way.

@brandonhorst Hah! Very true. Worthwhile to anticipate their perception!

Say hello to Wall•Genie ✨

Wall•Genie is different from other wallpaper apps. It has no ads, no tracking, and no sign-in required.

It's also built around the community, safeguarding your posts so they’re only available to other subscribers.

Wall•Genie is all about ease, and anonymity; powered by the usual suspects:

@revenuecat for world class subscription management and Paywall integration

@telemetrydeck for anonymous telemetry and insights
