Hey! 👋
I appreciate you reading and supporting the newsletter.
Another Thursday, another issue with the latest tools to help you with daily tasks.
Let’s dive in!
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝
Collects public iOS app data, search results, top chart apps, and reviews. Use it when you need app metadata, ratings, prices, developers, genres, versions, screenshots, and review text - all in one Apify dataset.
Why you will like it:
Find iOS apps from App Store keywords like photo editor, habit tracker, or budget planner.
Build datasets for ASO research, category research, and mobile market maps.
Track competitor app metadata, ratings, pricing, versions, genres, and storefront availability.
Collect public App Store reviews for product feedback, support triage, voice-of-customer research, and feature requests.
Pull top free and paid chart data for market monitoring.

Brings true second-display functionality to your Android tablet - over USB-C for the lowest latency, or wirelessly over WiFi after a one-time QR pair. Something macOS doesn’t natively support either way.
Why you will like it:
Create a true virtual display on your Mac. Drag windows to your tablet like a real monitor - not mirroring, but extending.
Hardware-accelerated H.265 encoding on Mac and decoding on Android. An async pipeline architecture delivers frames in under 30ms.
Use your tablet’s touchscreen to interact with macOS. Touch prediction compensates for network latency, making taps and drags feel natural.
Enable HiDPI mode to render at 2x resolution internally - text and icons stay sharp at any logical resolution, just like a MacBook Retina display. Perfect for 2K/4K tablet users who want a readable workspace without sacrificing sharpness.
Enable Gaming Boost for optimized settings: 1 Gbps bitrate, ultra-low latency encoding, 120 FPS.
Configure resolution (up to 4K/8K), frame rate (30-120 FPS), bitrate (20-5000 Mbps), and quality presets from the Mac app.

A static site generator written in Swift, driven by AI agents through an installable skill (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Xcode 26, and more) - hand the whole job to an AI that scaffolds, themes, writes, and deploys your site for you.
Why you will like it:
Posts and pages in Markdown with YAML frontmatter, no Swift or HTML.
Layouts adapt to desktop, tablet, and phone out of the box.
A client-side index on a static site, full-text for docs.
Canonical URLs, Open Graph, JSON-LD, hreflang, sitemap, robots, and llms.txt.
Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, WCAG-AA-tuned colour schemes.
Critical-CSS ordering, responsive images, inlined icons, minification.
Multilingual with hreflang, fallback, and UI chrome in 36 locales.
Unlisted URLs to share for feedback before publishing.
Built-in writing guides keep drafts on-brand.
Deploy to Cloudflare Pages; you pay only for your domain.

Mimir - Keeps track of AI coding quotas across Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Antigravity from one place. Real-time usage data, reset countdowns, and clear status indicators.
Hold My Lid - Hold My Lid keeps AI coding agents running even when your MacBook lid is closed, with smart battery safeguards to prevent unwanted drain.
OpenUsage - Track your AI coding subscriptions from the macOS menu bar, built natively in Swift.
Amnesia - A macOS menu bar app for people who open X, YouTube, Reddit, Slack, or analytics dashboards and forget why.
BLEUnlock - A menu bar utility that locks and unlocks your Mac based on the proximity of your iPhone, Apple Watch, or any Bluetooth Low Energy device.
