Found this post by an ex-Apple engineer who worked on the iPod engraver UI around 2004-2006 on Apple’s website back then, it’s quite nostalgic both to see the old iPod again, AND the old website design (there is a link in the blog post to see the actual website as a demo)

Hey r/apple — I'm Julian, a student and solo developer, and this is my first real app.

It started at my working student job. I kept explaining the same things over and over: where a setting lives, how a form gets filled out, which buttons to click in which order. Fifteen screenshots, cropped, arrows drawn in Preview, steps typed out underneath. Every single time.

So I built StepGrab. You hit record, do the task once, and every click comes back as a screenshot with a numbered step and a written description. A screen recording gives you a video — this gives you a document. It's a native Mac app and runs completely offline.

I only put it on the Mac App Store to cross that off my bucket list. Then people actually started using it, and the feedback I heard most on Reddit was: "I need to fix things before I export." So version 1.4 adds a full editor:

• Review every step, reorder or delete the ones you don't need
• Rewrite any step in your own words
• Drag the arrows to change direction, length and curve
• Resize the spotlight around each click and pick a badge style
• Preview each format before you export

The free version isn't a demo: full editor, unlimited recordings, up to 15 steps per guide, exported as a GIF with a small StepGrab mark. Pro adds PDF, HTML, Markdown and MP4 export, plus your own logo and file names. No account, no signup.

If it's useful to you, telling me what's missing or leaving a review helps a student dev more than you'd think. And I'm curious: how do you explain things to colleagues today? Screenshots, screen recordings, or just a call?

Battery Settings on iPhone Duo will show you battery health details for each cell individually, includes maximum capacity and cycle count.
Keynote says the Duo will intelligently load balance between the two, not sure which left/right battery 1/ battery2, that's interesting though.
That's great to show which cell is healthy, pinpointing replacement accuracy.

Does anyone remember Siri before it was integrated into the iPhone and it was an independent app? This was before it was bought over by Apple.

It’s only of one app (Widgetsmith) but I found it interesting just how low the Air was

I've been working on Vantage for a while now, and we're finally launching on iOS today!

Where other apps (18Birdies, TheGrint, Golfshot, etc...) make you click through 15 screens and a few paywalls just to start a round, we're trying to debloat the experience. Open the app, pick your course, and play golf.

It's a full golf GPS app with course maps, yardages, shot tracking, strokes gained stats, etc., but one of the bigger things I've been working on is detailed green maps. We only have full green map coverage in CA, NC, TN, VA, WV, OR, SC, GA, KY, and NV at the moment, but we're adding more states and taking requests every day.

Would love to hear what you guys think.

Hi all, I’m 100% deaf and I am lucky to be able to have cochlear implants. Essentially, my whole life I have been speaking regular English and engaging in regular conversations, primarily because I was implanted at such a young age (super grateful for technology!)

When I was watching the Apple event yesterday, I was doing work and kind of listening to it in the background, but once I heard something about the deaf community or hard of hearing, I immediately stopped what I was doing and I just stared at the screen. features that the ultra 4 provides when it comes to sirens, alarms, fire detectors, smoke detectors, baby screamings was a huge thing for me, primarily because when I go to sleep, I take my implants off and hear absolutely nothing, or sometimes when I forget to bring a battery or two, I’ve gotta drive home and I can’t hear.

Along with this, the feature that they were doing with the 15 second previous live transcript is truly groundbreaking. I no longer need to say “what did you say” with almost every one of my conversations, instead I could just record it.

Immediately pre ordered.

Thank you Apple.
