Nice app! Can't wait for the iPhone version :) It looks like you're using Paperfold ( https://www.cocoacontrols.com/controls/paperfold ). Mind adding it to the list of apps that use it on Cocoa Controls? Also, I'd love to know if you use any other OSS components. I'm always looking for apps to highlight as my 'app of the week'.

Cant wait for droid!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Developers writing new apps see two things: - High adoption rate of iOS6 - Cool iOS6 APIs (Autolayout, UIKit attributed text, indexed subscripting, etc) and they decide to write for iOS6 only. They could support iOS 5, but the work is not worth the reward with the adoption rate of iOS6 being as high as it is. For developers with existing customers, it is a different story.

Indexed subscripting is available down to iOS 4.x I think — definitely available on iOS 5. It's a compiler technology, not related to the SDK.

No, declaring literals is a compiler technology that works with any SDK.

Subscripting requires runtime support in the form of `-[NSDictionary objectForKeyedSubscript:]` and pals , available only in iOS6 and above:

I live in a city too and don't have a car. I plan on adding public transit support soon, because I really want it too.

Walking estimates too? Actually... I mean, I know how long it takes me to walk to work, but it'd be good to just be able to punch a number in. (Maybe automatically multiply by 1.1 or 1.2 when it's raining).

I guess there are a lot of things you could factor in for walking, but an average speed would probably get a close estimate in most cases.

I really like the idea and I will be checking this out, particularly since I have a long-ish commute to the office. I will say, though, that I think for the way my morning routine tends to go, it would be more useful to me as a Mac app. I almost always look at my MBP in the mornings before leaving for work, but rarely make a point of checking my iPad, so I could see this being really useful for me as a full-screen Ma…

I've thought about a Mac app version of it, just haven't had the time to mock it up and prototype it. I can you keep you posted on that front, but the next thing on the list is iPhone support.

even better - possibly a Chrome app that comes up when you open a new page. Similar to the Currently Chrome app.

Would be great if commute could be either public transport or by bike - I don't have a car, which in Denmark isn't very uncommon for city people. Otherwise great app - now I just need a way for it to be on my TV when i eat breakfast :D

AirPlay Mirroring with Apple TV? That should do the trick!

A Raspberry Pi with RaspBMC has AirPlay support as well, and is a bit cheaper/more functional then an Apple TV ;)

I was just discussing personal dashboards last Friday specifically I was looking for something to run on a Pi. Probably a web dashboard. I didn't really find anything (Kipfolio seems to be the business one) so I ended up registerding some domains. I was thinking of exploring it as my Startup Engineering project. Best of luck with Morning!

I had some fantastic luck setting up custom dashboards with Dashing from Shopify. http://shopify.github.io/dashing/

Great link. Thanks!

Gonna need to start learning ruby.

Thank you for the correction — I was thinking of ARC and weak references when I made that comment.

Actually, I stand corrected, indexed subscripting works back to iOS 5:
