I recently released sequins.dev, to have all the Observability signals you expect like logs, metrics, traces, and profiles, but as a macOS app which you can use for local dev. It's also completely free and open source. Give it a try, and let me know if there's any features you want!

Sequins — Local Observability on your machine.

Free macOS app for capturing and visualizing OpenTelemetry traces, logs, metrics, and profiles. 100% local, no cloud, no account required.

Okay, wtf Apple. Why is ⅓ of the Reminders widget is wasted space?? Also, why tf are there footgun tickboxes on the widget that dismiss the item. I just want to read it 🤬
