I still have a ton of work to do before Sofa 5.0 is launched, but shipping the beta is a big milestone. There is *so much* new stuff and little refinements to the rough edges and dead-ends that have built up in Sofa over the years. I'd love to have you test things out and share your feedback 👋

There is *a lot* coming to Sofa in 2026...like....A LOT. If you've been on the fence about upgrading, this is the time to do it (50% off).

I’ve been quietly working on Sofa 5.0 and it’s becoming the biggest update I’ve ever taken on. TV show tracking, is finally happening. Episodes, season progress, notes, all built to feel native in Sofa. Lots more coming in 2026. Super Sofa is 50% off now. www.sofahq.com/black-friday...

For the past few months I’ve been deep in the weeds working on @sofahq.social 5.0…and it’s a biggie. I have a lot of work to do, but I wanted to tease something fun: TV show tracking. Track episodes, finish seasons with a tap, jot down thoughts, and more. Stay tuned...there is a lot more coming 😀

It has officially been 10 years since I launched the very first version of Sofa 🤯, and it’s genuinely wild to see where Sofa is today. If you’ve ever used, looked at, talked about, shared, or even thought about Sofa, thank you. I’m so lucky for this to be my job ❤️. youtu.be/tKDlkaEe5no

I'm trying to submit with Xcode 26 but Xcode Cloud doesn't have the RC as an option. I'm using the RC version of Xcode, but not seeing it with Xcode Cloud. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

The iOS26 update for @sofahq.social is just about ready. The new Planner feature needs more time, but I still have a lot of goodies coming: • Liquid Glass • Bulk & swipe actions for episodes in Up Next • Voice Boost & Trim Silence for the podcast player • Manual sorting for groups, lists, & items

Hey gang, I want to share a little preview for the new @sofahq.social Planner feature that I've been working on, and I just launched the first beta today... Your downtime isn't just about what you watch, read, and play. It's also about where you go and what you do.
