You'll need an M1 or better to run the next release of macOS.

Apple's keynote at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference was a big one. After months of delays, Apple reintroduced us to its AI-upgraded Siri, which will go beyond what the existing voice assistant can do by offering more personalized help. We also got a look at many other updates coming across the operating systems powering the […]

Apple's OSes come with Liquid Glass tweaks and performance optimizations.

Apple's biggest event of the year is nearly here. The company's Worldwide Developers Conference will spotlight updates to iOS, macOS, and all of Apple's other operating systems, and this year's event could also include a major overhaul for Siri. Here's how you can watch along live. When WWDC will happen and where you can watch […]

All tests run on an 8-year-old MacBook Air. All results from shipping 7 Mac apps as a solo developer. No sponsored opinion. You plug in your Android device. A few seconds later, you unplug the cable. The connection stays alive — wirelessly, automatically, without touching a single setting. That's Seamless Link. The Problem ADB over USB is reliable. ADB over Wi-Fi is convenient. But switching between them manually is friction: Plug in USB Run adb tcpip 5555 Find the device IP Run adb connect <IP>:5555 Unplug cable Every. Single. Time. If you're working with multiple Android devices, or doing this across multiple sessions per day, it adds up fast. What Seamless Link Does The moment you plug in a USB cable, Seamless Link runs that entire flow automatically in the background: Detects the USB connection Runs adb tcpip 5555 Grabs the device IP Establishes a Wi-Fi ADB connection By the time you've sat back down, the device is already connected wirelessly. Pull the cable out — everything keeps working. No manual steps. No IP hunting. No re-running commands every session. Working with Multiple Devices This gets more useful the more devices you have. Plug in Device A → Seamless Link connects it wirelessly. Plug in Device B → same thing, simultaneously. Each device goes through the full handover flow independently, in parallel. The more devices on your desk, the more time this saves. Android 16 Compatibility Android 16 changed how wireless debugging ports are assigned — random ports instead of the fixed 5555. Seamless Link handles this automatically. You don't need to know which port the device is using. If you're on an older Android version, it works the same way it always has. Why This Matters for Daily Workflows If you're an Android developer on Mac, you probably already have a USB cable on your desk. Seamless Link just makes that cable optional after the first few seconds. It's one of those features that's hard to go back from once you've used it. The cable becomes a "char

Aerospace completely revolutionized my workflow after 15 years of using macOS the way Apple intended. I no longer hunt for apps and windows in Mission Control or drag them around spaces to organize. I can open as many windows as I need and have them all under my fingertips. And instead of swiping around to find one, I instantly teleport to where they are. This incredible software is technically aimed at advanced users. It’s installed from the command line and offers extensive configuration options. For basic use though, you don’t need to configure it at all, and if you have opened the Terminal application before and know what running a command means, you should be good to go. Rest assured, I will not show you how to configure Aerospace with Vim, or show you how to create an elaborate but useless dashboard! Just the essentials to get you started. How to set up Aerospace Aerospace is a menu bar application, but you can’t download it from an App Store or get it as a DMG file. You need a package manager. Go to the Homebrew website and follow the installation guide. Make sure to accurately follow the on-screen instructions. This may include any of the following: A prompt to enter your password. When you type passwords in Terminal, you will not see stars or anything. Just make sure you’re typing the correct one and hit Enter. A prompt to install XCode Command Line Tools . Somewhere around the end of the installation process, you may get a prompt to run some extra commands, which depend on your system. Make sure you run them as instructed. To test if you have correctly installed Homebrew, run which brew in Terminal. If you see a path printed out, like /opt/homebrew/bin/brew , you’re good to go. If not, something has gone wrong. Try searching for other, more focused guides on installing Homebrew. With Homebrew, you can install applications from the Terminal app using the brew command. For Aerospace, you would run the following command: brew install --cask nikitabobko/tap/ae

The MacBook Neo is Apple's cheapest laptop, its most colorful, and its easiest to repair in years. That means owners can buy replacement parts in all four of its available colors and swap them in on their own. So that got us thinking: What if we bought a Neo just to see how funky we […]
