 I turned AirPods into a gesture input device for my Mac. It’s been a hands-free bliss.
I built Headway, a Mac menu bar app with Claude that turns AirPods head motion into nods, tilts and glances to scroll pages, switch Chrome tabs, go back and refresh, hands-free.
Apple finally brought custom EQ to AirPods. It isn’t perfect, but makes a world of difference.
With the arrival of iOS 27 and macOS 27, Apple finally added a tri-band custom EQ to the AirPods. It's not the most fleshed out implementation out there, but it makes a huge difference in the listening experience.
Claude redefined my bond with Macs. I am building my own apps and it’s a bliss.
Over the past two weeks, I have built more apps and utilities for myself than I have downloaded software in months.
I hated sleeping with my Apple Watch, but science just changed my mind in two ways
A new study just found a link between bedtime disciple and two serious ailments. Turns out, my Apple Watch has been logging it automatically for months.
I found a Mac app to take care of my health, and it’s a godsend for all desk warriors
An app to fix your posture, gaze, stress, and water intake – in the most minimalist way possible? That's what Loook is all about.
I found a Mac tool that you’ll love as a sleeker dock with extra tricks
If you're ever wished to replace the Mac's dock with something more functional and less drab, Loopty is the free app that will answer your productivity prayers in impressive style.

There's a smarter way to save important nuggets of information, and the iPhone already offers the fundamental stack to do it with some AI assistance.

Live Photos is one of the most controversial iPhone camera features, but there's a rescue side to it that can help you click better quality memories in challenging scenarios.
I used AirPods for navigation on my Mac and it was an effortless bliss
ScrollPods lets you scroll up and down on websites and local files by simply using the vertical head gestures as motions cues. It works surprisingly well, too.
I put a sidebar on my Mac for focused work, and it also fixed a huge Safari gap
SideTab puts a cluster of frequently-used utilities in a collapsing edge panel. It's fantastic for focused work, but also supercharges the Safari experience if you love Apple's browser.
AirPods Pro are nice, but I tweak these hidden settings to push them even further
The latest generation AirPods Pro sound terrific, but they lack audiophile perks. There are, however, a few tools buried in the Settings app that came as a revelation for my listening experience.
