Two Cool New Apps
Hyperspace, from John Siracusa:
Hyperspace finds files with identical contents and then reclaims the disk space taken by all but one of the identical files—without removing any of the files.
And Framous, from Charlie Chapman:
Framous is the fastest and easiest way to add device frames around your screenshots.
It’s what I used to make the images for my latest home screen blog post.
My iOS 18 Home Screen
The last time I posted about my iOS home screen was back in 2021. In some ways, not much has changed in how I set up my device, but in other ways, the entire philosophy is new.

I updated my Misc. Recommendations post with some new things and made a few minor website updates.
Made quite a few bug fixes and little enhancements over the last week.
I missed this Sunday (1994) release last year but it's so very much right in my wheelhouse. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
I’m trying to spend my year thinking about how in ten years, that version of me, will be looking back on right now. Am I doing the things that make me happy? Am I living a life that I’ll be proud of? Am I being kind?
Finally got around to listening to this Patrick Stump interview/podcast and it’s got a bunch of stories I had never heard before. Really great stuff: https://overcast.fm/+ABKfnu...
Found a spot for the NFG drum head. The new office is coming together. I probably should do an updated full blog post once I finish a few more things.
