  1. Apple then: “It just works.”

    Apple now: “It doesn’t work—but the price still goes up.”

    #AppleMusic is a disaster. #Siri is an endless source of frustration. #Siri: endless frustration. #AirDrop: failed. #HomeKit: device not found #Shortcuts: action only partially executed. 🤦🏻

  3. Frage an die #wordpress und #apple Bubble: Wie macht ihr denn die Bildbearbeitung, bevor ihr die Bilder in die Mediathek schubst? Gibt es gute #Shortcuts, die schon jemand fabriziert hat, oder Toolempfehlungen? Was mir vorschwebt: alle Bilder in einem vorbereiteten Ordner in Größe und Dateigröße ändern, ggfs. Dateityp ändern. Umbenennen wäre Kür, aber kein Muss…

  4. BarCuts v2026.1.0 is almost ready to ship. Been working on it almost the entire week, so much work, and most of it is not even visible! A major renovation of the licensing stack, lots of tiny bug fixes, and future proofing will do that.

    Good week.

  6. Stuff that just sucks. E.g. has abysmal usability and is very badly implemented:

    #android + #physicalKeyboard + #keyboardlayout + #shortcuts

    Choose any two of the four and the great spaghetti monster save you

  11. While we await proper details about the "on device" #AI models that #Apple mentioned during the macOS segment of the #WWDC keynote, here is what I am most excited about from Apple's 2026 operating systems.

    Cross-OS features:
    - #LiveTranslation (finally)
    - #Polls in the #Messages!
    - #HoldAssist? TBD

    #macOS
    - #Spotlight actions (with #QuickKeys)
    - #Clipboard history
    - New #Shortcuts (and "Intelligent actions")
    - Custom folder colors!
    - Now with the #Phone app!
    - More control center customization

    #iPadOS
    - See post above
    - Mac's red-yellow-green window control buttons
    - Also getting the Phone app!

    #watchOS
    - The #WristFlick gesture? We'll see.
    - Configurable #widgets? Maybe.

    My current workflows probably won't benefit from
    - the "liquid" or "glass" aesthetic
    - a #WorkoutBuddy (no more voices talking to me during workouts, please)
    - the #Games app
    - anything #tvOS, #visionOS, #emoji

    What excited you?

    What disappointed you?

    What surprised you?

    What was missing from your wish list?

  12. Rich menu cheatsheet
    routinehub.co/shortcut/15021/

    This #iOS shortcut is just a cheatsheet of the three ways you can abuse the #vCard and Contact data formats to create richer menus with the #Shortcuts app:

    - Contact with photo (no text to the right)
    - Email of a contact (trade photo by right-aligned text)
    - Phone of a contact (serious restrictions of what can go in the subtitle)

    All merit goes to @gluebyte who published detailed guides in Reddit:
