If you're one of the lucky people who have preordered an #iPhoneDuo this morning, @chroniclingapp.com is ready 🎉 I wrote a bit more about this on the website, along with an updated press kit: chroniclingapp.com/2026/10/ch...

Here's how @chroniclingapp.com looks before making any changes for #iPhoneDuo. Landscape needs a bit more love!

👋 Life has been very busy recently, but I'm emerging from under my rock with some @chroniclingapp.com news! I'm now working on some big additions for v2 to coincide with iOS 27, including ❤️ HealthKit integration for workouts, nutrition, daily metrics and symptoms

New in v1.9 of @chroniclingapp.com: pin your most-used categories to the top and archive old ones without losing any data. If you've been around for the nearly 3 years(!) since Chronicling launched this could help keep things tidy 😊

🌈 A rainbow of tint colors is now available in @chroniclingapp.com - apparently not everyone loves orange 😅 This update also includes a light/dark override alongside matching system default #IndieDev

Inspired by @snazzylabs.com, I picked up an Xteink X4 ereader and I love it. I was tempted by a BOOX Palma but this is smaller, cheaper and less capable which is exactly what I wanted. Shown next to my Kobo Libra Colour at max brightness for comparison, loaded up with Standard Ebooks #BookSky

I was kindly gifted an Ooni oven for Christmas, and I've been having a great time experimenting with wood-fired pizza 🍕 Learning a slow, hands-on skill feels especially rewarding in the age of LLMs, even if the careers survey I did at school suggested I should never do anything using my hands 😅

In case you missed it, the last few @chroniclingapp.com updates have added several most requested features - emoji support, customisable reminders, and the grid view. During December, you can also see your year Chronicled 🎁 #IndieApp

☕️ Looking forward to diving into the lovely ebook versions of the @macstories.net OS reviews after a very busy few weeks updating @chroniclingapp.com (thanks for the mention in the Foundation Models section!)

One of the key things for a tracking app is reducing friction. I’m working on extracting events from natural language in @chroniclingapp.com with Apple’s new Foundation Models in #iOS26 and it’s looking really promising

A couple of before and after views of @chroniclingapp.com on #iOS26. Given I use #SwiftUI native elements, most things do pretty much "just work", but I'll be thinking more about the future of the design over the beta season

Jumping back into #Nintendo gaming for the first time since owning a Switch pre-baby in 2021. First impressions really positive - for me the size and weight is the sweet spot between the original and the Steam Deck. Open to game recommendations for things to catch up on! #Switch2

I set up four menu based shortcuts on my Home Screen - mostly opening apps to particular views, or asking for text and sending it somewhere, and it’s really helped make my habitual phone pick ups less wasteful

After several months of cold, dark training runs, it was a surprise to run the Cambridge Half Marathon on Sunday in beautiful sunshine and 18°C! While the sun was lovely afterwards, I think around mile 8 I was pretty desperate for a classic British grey cloud 😅

After a brief hiatus while doing my taxes (yay!), I’m now exploring adding timed events to @chroniclingapp.com. This uses the existing count field to save minutes or seconds tracked, with an optional target 🍅

Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a play on the @chroniclingapp.com app name... 2024 Chronicled coming soon
