What is everyone using for Podcast apps lately? I've tried them all, over the last year; I've been glued to Castro, however...the sync between devices can be finicky sometimes which is not a deal-breaker, but would be nice to pickup where I left off without thinking about it.

It's honestly concerning how randomly on it's own Google Gemini's macOS app just...launches itself on its own out of nowhere. Time for it to go, PWA is more than enough.

El Gato finally fixed the login items bug for the stream deck software in macOS, in their latest update! Been a long time coming but it is appreciated

What does your Raycast dictation prompt look like, and how are you using styles. Looking to start testing this out as my daily driver for voice dictation over another similar tool. I don't necessarily want to swing over all my prompts, but maybe it's a good idea to do it.

On Raycast V2, what is your favorite Light & Dark theme? I've honestly been enjoying the Raycast Light/Dark.

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Anyone been using the Raycast beta as their daily? It seems to be pretty dang stable, I guess my biggest concern with using it as primary is some extensions not working on new versions? Not sure if that is a thing or not, or if there are other issues I'm not aware of.

I’m at the point where I truly hope Apple makes some significant strides when it comes to Apple Music on macOS specifically, but across all devices as well. If things remain the way they are, audio quality or not, I may swing back over to Spotify. Yes, the UI is a nightmare, but it’s fine. #wwdc

@hazels.garden Picking up AirSpace license now. Stumbled on your post on reddit, and was instantly sold. I will say, it has been a while since I purchased a license before tinkering/downloading the trial first. Appreciate the hard work you put into this! Looks great.

Got my access to Raycast Beta 🙃 Time to put this thing through the ringer!

Finally swung the axe and got rid of my Adobe CC subscription. I really do enjoy Lightroom...etc, but there are so many equally powerful apps out there that don't cost nearly as much.

I really wish smart mailboxes on macOS Mail, synced to iOS/iPadOS. Seems like a truly missed opportunity with such a simple but very powerful feature.

The developer(s) behind BetterTouchTool (BTT) have been on an absolute burner lately. I swear I login every morning to a fresh update with bug fixes and feature rollouts/refinements. Absolutely killing it.

How are we feeling about 26.5RC — good to go? ;-)

To those of you that have moved away from Logitech Options+, and are using BTT (BetterTouchTool) with their MX Master Mouse... How are you updating your mouse without Options+ Installed when that time comes? I mean, I know it's a rare occasion, but...it will happen.

I seriously think the days of needing a search engine are coming to an end. Do you still active use search engines or lean on AI Search or just AI in general when searching for something?

What MCP servers do you use for your AI Agents that you cannot live without?

Really enjoying the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2’s. Getting the transitions was definitely the right move.

Even though most of my life is digital, I still get a weirdly satisfying kick out of putting pen to paper for some note taking. Are there any old-school habits you keep reaching for in your everyday, too?

000

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

I’ve been exploring how small timing tweaks can improve the feel of everyday apps. Even something as simple as triggering an action—like an app switcher—benefits from being more immediate.

Looks like Google finally listened: Gemini on macOS now lets you remove it from Login Items (it used to be on by default) and fully disable hotkey shortcuts. Progress!

Really considering just moving my Claude account to Max 5x…

Made a quick python tool that converts screenshots of table views, into a usable, comma-delimited CSV. This utilizes locally installed AI models through Ollama, so your data never leaves your machine; but also gets it done quickly. Hope someone else gets use out of it!

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I had OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic generate “about me” MD files so I can create a profile file to use across all models. It’s actually really interesting to read what they came up with about me. If you haven’t done this, give it a try!

WWDC can't come soon enough. But I'm really hoping this isn't just another year of features that sound incredible on stage...only to ship months late or get quietly shelved. Apple, surprise us. Actually ship what you announce. 🙏

Apple… Let us save a single CarPlay icon and widget layout and sync it across every car—not one setup per vehicle.

There's nothing like checking-in and optimizing all your backup jobs/workflows to be more efficient and effective. Now the other question is, do I scrap Backblaze Personal, and just go B2 Storage for my off-site...

000

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

I’m genuinely excited that the Gemini app finally landed on macOS. But it still needs a lot of work. Right now, it feels less like a finished release and more like a public alpha meant to test the waters.

What’s everyone working on today ;-) Hump Day! Woop woop

Loving how many apps are embracing CLI integration—it’s genuinely transforming my workflows for the better.

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Remotely controlling Claude Code on my Mac—even running local models—from my iPhone or iPad is unreal to watch. What a time to be alive.

000

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

To streamline my Mac setup and clean up my list of running apps, I’m consolidating wherever I can. Today’s experiment: ditching Hyperkey/Superkey entirely and moving that functionality into Karabiner Elements, since it’s what I use most. We’ll see how it goes—so far, so good.

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

To all my fellow Greeks... Χριστὸς ἀνέστη!

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Honestly, even models like Gemma4-24B are blazing fast and lightweight for quick local tasks—plus MCP access and more. Not too shabby.

000

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

In iPadOS, after having an app in window mode (like Messages), then going full-screen, this is what we get… On a native app, Apple really has to do better. I expect this from a third party app.

000

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I cannot, for the life of me, get the Fantastical MCP server to work on macOS & Claude Code... Has anyone had a similar experience, and got it working? Everything else works no problem; drafts...etc.

Falling into a deep deep rabbit hole with Claude Code 🧑‍💻

000

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Have you added any new tools or apps to your workflow lately that you wish you’d found sooner? For me, it’s Karabiner-Elements. Not exactly new, but I was ridiculously late to the party.

000

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

I’m really eager to see what the Raycast team has cooked up for the latest Raycast version! Counting down the days! ;-)

Dean Amiridis @deanfx.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Gemma4 really impressed me. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a spin—its speed is genuinely remarkable.
