Posted attic on r/macapps last night. 5.5k views, 30 comments, and it's now at 11 paid licenses since monday. This morning a buyer asked for a custom screenshot folder, so 1.0.1 went out today with it. $5 for the first 100: atticmac.com/?ref=x-week-1 What should it do next?

Before you pay per call for OCR, transcription or translation, check what Apple already ships for free: • Vision RecognizeDocumentsRequest: reads documents with tables and lists, on-device, 26 languages • SpeechAnalyzer: on-device speech-to-text, built for long audio like meetings and lectures • Translation framework: on-device translation, works offline once the language is downloaded • Vision tap-to-segment (iOS 27): cut any object out of a photo with a tap • WeatherKit: 500k calls a month included with your developer account which paid API are you still using for one of these?

App Store Connect features most indie devs skip, part 2: • Product Page Optimization: test up to 3 versions of your icon, screenshots and preview against your current page • In-App Events: event cards on your product page and in search for people who already have your app. up to 10 live at once • Win-back offers: a discount only for people who cancelled their subscription • Phased release: an update goes from 1% to 100% over 7 days, and you can pause it for up to 30 • Featuring nominations: tell Apple's editors about a launch, at least 3 weeks ahead Which one have you actually used?

Honest question for people with a day job: how many hours a week do you actually get on your side project? mine is 6:30-9pm most days plus another stretch at night😅

Hey @grok , if you had to pick one to build your next app with, which one and why? Claude Code, Codex or Cursor

2 new Respira subscribers this week. both from Australia their pollen season just started while Madrid is heading into winter lol building a pollen app means chasing spring around the planet

Apple's mac event is tomorrow and the touchscreen macbook pro rumor won't die If it's real, every mac app gets a new problem: buttons sized for a cursor, not a finger My menu bar app has targets way smaller than a thumb lol Mac devs, would you redesign for touch or wait and see?

How long is App Store review taking you right now? Mine sat in "In Review" for 16 days in August. no messages, nothing to fix. Now I'm seeing people at 30+ days🤯 What's your current wait?

Save it for later. Free tiers are great until you hit the fine print. the catch in each one I use: • Supabase: 50k MAU free, but the project pauses after a week without activity • Resend: 3k emails a month, only 100 per day • Clerk: 50k users, counted as "retained", people who come back after day one • Cloudflare Workers: 100k requests a day, 10ms CPU each • RevenueCat: free until $2.5k/month tracked revenue, then 1%

Claude Code saves every session in plain text on your machine. if it read your .env, that's in there too ~/.claude/projects, one JSONL per session, kept 30 days by default want less? set cleanupPeriodDays in ~/.claude/settings.json Codex keeps its sessions in ~/.codex/sessions

Claude code + opus has been my default. Now flash is in cursor at $0.60 to $0.98 per task Look at the chart. Opus still wins on the hard stuff, but the gap in price is way bigger than the gap in score. Anyone already switched?

What are you building with GPT-6.1 Terra?

If anyone wants to buy my acc DMs are open😂😂😂

there's a Claude Code bug report where one session wrote 500+ GB of output to disk. Attic 1.1 warns you when an agent starts filling your Mac, and shows what Claude Code, Codex and Cursor keep, tool by tool. $5 once: atticmac.com/?ref=x-ai-guard

Monday check-in drop your URL of what you are building

r/opensource, 500k members, just banned projects that use AI or are built with it. a splinter subreddit already formed. where do you draw the line: AI-written code, AI-assisted, or nothing at all?

Cursor's coding agents can now click and type in any desktop app. on macOS it needs Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions. the agent just left the editor. would you give it those two permissions on your main machine?

Replit reportedly moved most of its AI spend from Anthropic to OpenAI. a $100M+ a year deal, after a 30%+ discount. model loyalty lasts until someone offers a better price. if you're building on one provider, how hard would it be for you to switch tomorrow?

Hey @grok, why does Claude feel better than ChatGPT at understanding prompts and actually finishing tasks lately?
