Have you tried Xarra on macOS or visionOS? They haven't been simple ports, I've tried for it to feel like home there too. If you give it a try, I'd genuinely love to hear what works and what doesn't.

It had to happen at some point… 😅 It’s been an amazing run though! 53 five-star ratings! That’s way more than friends I can convince to do it! 😂 Thanks everyone for your ratings and reviews for RetroRapid! Really appreciate it! 🙏 apps.apple.com/gb/app/retro... #indieDev

So now... I think it might be ready for show time! If anyone's up for testing it: testflight.apple.com/join/tFT9d7UB Please let me know what you think. Do you reckon it's ready to release? Anything missing before I submit to the App Store? Really appreciate your help! #macOS #IndieDev #TestFlight

One of those days… I’m very fortunate and grateful it’s rare since RetroRapid & Xarra launched. Give them a go, you’ll get incredible 80s nostalgia or help you with your reading. I’ll get a smile checking numbers tomorrow. Win-win! 😉 apps.apple.com/gb/app/retro... apps.apple.com/gb/app/xarra...

It's called Mestre! Lets you record screen presentations and leverage macOS' Presenter Overlay, which I love. Now more polished: auto-generated captions, plus the possibility of adding a custom watermark... And a gorgeous new icon illustrated by Raúl Gil! accessibilityupto11.com/apps/mestre/

Mestre!

Record your Mac screen with camera, microphone, and on-device captions. Mestre is a native, focused recorder, not a bloated editor or expensive subscription. It is designed for presenter-style videos...

Yes, I should really be focusing on Xarra... But a year ago I was talking about a tiny macOS app I'd been building: bsky.app/profile/dade... It's been sitting on my laptop ever since, unfinished. Felt like a waste. Back then some folks told me it was a useful one. So back to it!

For those who haven’t seen it yet, Mestre is a macOS app that lets you record your screen with Presenter Overlay-styles (so you can appear on screen like a weather presenter, or within a bubble that you can move around) while sharing content in your screen.

Can you believe it? Xarra has been out in the wild for 3 months now. The App Store is a tough place to get noticed these days... But we'll keep building! 💪 Working on a Snow Leopard update and tweaking the roadmap. Have you tried it yet? What should I fix or add next? #indieApp

The moment the run ends is now social: see who’s immediately ahead on the leaderboard and catch those sweet first-time overtakes.

"What's My Set?" is out on the App Store! It's a set counter for workouts, and look at those beautiful Accessibility nutrition labels shipping from day one. Congrats, @chriswu.com! Go download and rate it.

Achievements are here: mix up how you control the car, go farther than you ever have in one run, or grind overtakes.

Friends aren’t just names on a list anymore: their cars carry Game Center markers so you know exactly who you’re hunting down the straight.

I built Xarra to help myself read more and stay focused. Using your own product isn't enough to validate it, but if it solves a real problem for you, there's a good chance it'll solve it for someone else too. Actually, that's also one of the messages I took away from the book.

The auto-scroll was the unexpected hero. Phone on the tray table, seat back, audio playing. Completely hands-free. That's the kind of thing that's hard to explain in a feature list but immediately clicks the moment you try it.

I really can't remember the last time I got through that much of a book in a single sitting. A lot of the credit goes to @twostraws.bsky.social, it's a genuinely engaging read. But synchronized highlighting + audio made it so much easier to stay focused and keep moving forward.
