This works fine, but if I move the extension to another file like “Person+Update.swift”, it stops working.

Is there a way to allow this, similar to protected in Java, so members stay accessible to the class and its extensions in other files?

This is beyond annoying. Apparently, Apple Mail skipped basic math class, because it clearly can’t count. Happens all the time, such a reliable app, truly.

SF Symbols is great, but I always felt something was missing.
So I started this as a little side project.

Of course, you can (and should) keep using Apple’s SF Symbols, it’s fantastic.
But there are some symbols I never touch, and others I wish existed… so I’m making my own 🙂

✨ Something small, simple, and kind of magical is coming.

Think of it as a lite version of SF Symbols, but with a twist.

What features would you love to see in a minimalist, focused SF Symbols companion?
Maybe… faster search? Tags? Symbol previews? Something secret? 👀

I can’t say too much yet.

🧠 Swift 6.2 lets you assign a "switch" directly to a variable ✨

let score = Int.random(in: 0..<100)
let grade = switch score {
case 90...: "A"
case 80..<90: "B"
default: "C"
}
print("Your grade: \(grade) (\(score))")

Clean, expressive, and beautifully Swift 💫

The SF Symbols app for macOS is a great database, and Apple keeps adding more symbols and features, making it more powerful each year.

Still, I miss a few things that would make it more useful in daily work:

✨ Playing with the new glass effects in macOS Sequoia (macOS 26)

Using GlassEffectContainer and glassEffect, I created animated “bubbles” that float and overlap while sharing the same glass surface.

The result? A smooth, living glass playground powered entirely by SwiftUI.

I’m looking for my next role as an iOS or macOS engineer. With 10+ years of experience, I’m very experienced in Swift and have worked with Objective-C in the past.

I’m only considering fully remote positions. If you know of an opening, I’d love to hear from you. A share would mean a lot 🙏

🚀 I’ve open-sourced a small macOS tool I use to extract .icns files from apps, files, folders, disks, and other locations.

Built with SwiftUI + AppKit, it lets you preview icons and export them as .icns

Change App Shortcuts from the Terminal

Did you know you can change the keyboard shortcuts of almost any Mac app?

Every app that has a menu (like Safari, Finder, or Xcode) lets you run actions from there, and those actions often have shortcuts.

🚨🚨🚨 Lynfo 0.9.0.1

☛ Lynfo now supports both .xcodeproj and .xcworkspace.
☛ Configure Xcode formatting shortcuts directly in Lynfo.

How Lynfo Works - Step by Step

1) Open your Xcode project in Lynfo so it knows where to apply formatting.

From 0 to hero in SwiftUI 🦸‍♂️

I built an app just for myself… then decided to release it into the wild.
Entirely made with SwiftUI, because apparently I enjoy pain.

I’m noticing an odd behavior when using NavigationSplitView on macOS 26.0 Beta (25A5327h).

Even with the simplest possible split view code, window resizing feels unusually choppy.
