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.

If you wanted it to persist on a display, you could always airplay an iPad to a tv screen.

Nice! I wake up every day around 5:30am and try to get up and going as quickly as I can. You nailed some of the key things I already do in the morning: - check the weather - figure out what meetings I have for the day The other thing I look for is if there was anything interesting for me that happened while I was sleeping. The best example is how I check to see if there are emails from specific people or internal mon…

Interesting idea. Are you thinking something along the lines of Mail.app's VIP feature where certain e-mails are propagated to the top or are you just talking about the content of mailing lists you subscribe to?

I hate not having any other comment to make but I think you would benefit from trying to optimise the size of the main banner image [1]. It's currently clocking in at just under 800KB, and loading it was like downloading an image on dial-up on my very reasonable 30Mbps. Even after reloading a few times it took me 16.8 seconds to download. Good luck with your app and congratulations on shipping. [1] http://images.tamp…

Yeah we should fix that ...

This reminds me a lot of windows live tiles, but in an app. I think the concept is great, but it would be better if this could somehow integrated into the lock screen.

I'm not an iOS user, but I agree. This reminded me of the sort of one-screen dashboard I get from my Windows Phone home and Surface start menu.

It looks really clean and professionally designed. Bravo to the OP for a job very well done.

Not being an iOS user, I'm not sure how readily you can extend the lock screen, but I agree with joeblau. It's really handy to have a subset of these data points on the lock-screen. I'd like to have TSLA right there before I even swipe the lock screen away. :) That's not possible (to my knowledge) on Windows.

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'.

How have I not heard about cocoacontrols.com until now? Many thanks for excellent site!
