US changed time 2 weeks early so it's hard to tell what time it will be in other time zones. I wrote a little web app called Time Shifter Clock to help. Try it!

Our dear friends at Apple have been amazing today. Had to submit two minor bug fix releases today and they both got reviewed within hours. Happy Holidays everyone.

Work on “Open Access Helper” is progressing well. Looking forward to releasing this update just before the new year. I might be cheeky and update the version number to 2025.1 :)

Busy weekend. My app “Spesensatz” is ready for 2025 and will release just after midnight on 1 January.

Open Access Helper is a really cool tool that helps you find free research papers. Sometimes you find an interesting paper, but it's behind a paywall. Open Access Helper checks to see if there's a free version of that paper available and then gives you a link to it.

I might have found the single most important toggle switch in iOS. When traveling with limited data, make sure to turn off cellular data in Photos app. What difference does it make? 4GB in 3 days vs 1GB in 3 days…

I am very excited for a little vacation I might finish a rewrite of my iOS app to Swift Data :)
