I'm seeing a lot of this across all sorts of apps right now. We're at a sort of cambrian explosion point for software. I too built my own equivalent of this (belfry.robgough.net). …

This is great – I built almost the same thing. It's eerie how similar it made that footer on the public websites! Your app definitely looks a bit nicer than mine though! https://be…

I appreciate the kind words. Thank you. I really wanted to have background audio and make it so the keyboard would directly record audio etc, but my first pass didn't make it throu…

I built my own because I was frustrated with a lot of the free options. Largely because a lot of them had an upsell to be able to do the secondary post-processing step with an LLM.…

I think that's parakeet doing its job there. That is a closer reflection of what you've actually said. The trick is then throwing that output through some additional deterministic …

It pairs quite nicely with agentic development as it has a history of plenty of open-source projects published on GitHub, which means they have learned to work with Rails et al. ra…

Wow, thanks, I'd missed that. It's impossible to keep up with Anthropic and their rather erratic way of operating.

What makes you think your usage is getting cut by 50% post July 13th? It's just that you can use up to 50% of your usage on Fable right now, and that is what is going away. I'm goi…

Quickly switching between multiple sessions, and seeing which sessions are waiting for input. I generally run a session per project. Then within each session, a window for Claude, …

I'm a big tmux fan, but admittedly I've found myself switching between a lot of sessions recently and wishing it was a little bit more mouse friendly. If you're a Mac user, and can…

I've been surprised by how far my motivation has taken me. I have multiple projects now that are so much further ahead than I have ever managed before. I would get stuck on some sm…

They've said there are limits, and increased limits for those on iCloud+ ... so it seems that Apple is in the selling LLM access game now. I don't think there are any details yet o…

Have you seen that they've added an `fm` tool? It was mentioned in the Platforms State of the Union. Here's what you get when you run it... https://gist.github.com/robgough/7893602…

I'm fully expecting an updated foundation model of some kind, but I would bet money they don't utter the words "Google", "Gemini", or "Gemma" even once.

Mac only I'm afraid, but I already did [1]. Packaged it too as I figured it might be useful to others [2] (and I'd want to install it on machine's that I might not have Xcode on) […

I've got a home-built dictation app that uses a local model to clear up the text and fix grammar. It was super easy to build. I’m extending it to capture meeting notes and summaris…

I recently built a similar app, and so hit the same limitations – I wasn't too upset on Mac, happy to distribute without the App Store (though it's a shame). Where I was more frust…

It's not as powerful as Gemma 4, but I think they likened it to GPT-3. It's perfectly capable of looking at images and classifying them at the level you'll need for this app. And i…

As clever as this is, it seems like the names are fairly straightforward (as you'd want!) – did you try using the on-device Apple Foundation model at all? That's actually pretty po…

Review times have already spiked, apparently, although I've never found them particularly good. There used to be a third-party website that tracked this via user submissions, thoug…

I think that's a fair question. For this app I didn't see the harm in releasing it. You have to pay for the account etc. to get it onto TestFlight anyway, so I might as well just p…

That looks great! It's so clearly going to be the dominant way of working with your computer. I was such a cynic, so I was completely shocked at how quickly it became my favourite …

Exactly this. For example the iOS app failed first time as I accidentally used "Free" in the app name, and the app declared support for UIBackgroundModes but they were "unable to l…

I had a go at building both a Mac and iOS dictation app the other day (dictator.robgough.net) thinking that with Claude's input, this probably wouldn't work... but it was a real pr…
