I'm hosting the Apple Intelligence Automators meetup in exactly one week – I hope to see you there! My thanks to Apple for featuring it on their WWDC Community Events page 🙏

Solid discounts on these bundles (and other Warner Bros movies): matthewcassinelli.com/apple-t...

In the past month, I've spoken over 86K words to my Mac using Monologue, a smart dictation app. Highly recommended – this is the biggest change to my workflow in years

@defenders.org Do you have policies for how your volunteers engage with the public? Alexander Rhyson just snidely remarked “You seem nice” when we didn’t interact with him and acted like he was being friendly when I asked him, and was indignant about it. Great work hiring such a nice guy.

@pbotinfo.bsky.social One of your vehicles just performed 3 traffic violations in front of me – blew through two Right Turn Only lanes and then stopped in the third in the road without signaling. License plate E303911. Either follow the rules yourselves or change these lanes

@pbotinfo.bsky.social Blocking the only parking garage near Powell’s for the entire pre-Thanksgiving week & weekend is absurd and shouldn’t be allowed. Please do not allow this permit to continue

The design has actually evolved from a more-complex interwoven design all the way to actual popsicle sticks in Liquid Glass. @selig.bsky.social's model is still cool as heck, and demonstrates the point – the App Store logo is made up of app icons

Here's a handul of linked posts I shared on my blog today: matthewcassinelli.com/blog

Just published a new podcast for my membership program covering Shortcuts news from the last few months: matthewcassinelli.com/members-only... Here's my workflow – Audio Hijack, Logic, Forecast, and Transistor. Using an @elgato.com Wave DX / Wave XLR combo + Elgato Noise Removal

Portland needs a downtown/midtown Streetcar loop to connect the Waterfront, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and Powell's. Start at Salmon Street Springs, connect to the main Streetcar line, and back through the food cart corridor. Make Downtown Portland one destination, not three.

Is it just me or do none of these keyboard shortcuts work in #Shortcuts for Mac? They took away the Command modifier and these just don't work at all now.

Plus, Sky can integrate with your Gmail, check Google Maps, and add tasks to OmniFocus – Built-In Tools go beyond system features to third-party integrations too.

Sky is more than an AI chat app and leans on the capabilities of macOS, with the spirit of getting things done like Workflow and Shortcuts. Digging into the platform, Sky comes with Built-In Tools to read the current window, access any file, send messages, and more.

Pressing ⌘⌘ to grab your current context is delightfully natural interaction. Sky saves the current window or file as well as its metadata, so you can ask AI about it right away.

I’ve been testing Sky, a new AI layer for Mac from folks behind Workflow & Shortcuts. ⌘⌘ captures on-screen content, then the AI both answers & gives actions to take. Sky uses both built-in & custom tools – so you can add anything to your AI. Thread of my initial thoughts:

This was cool

@viticci.macstories.net Shortcuts does not use Diffbot anymore, they switched it to Safari Reader after a while

I taught 300 people how to build for Apple Intelligence yesterday!

Apple Intelligence might be coming sooner than we think… Apps can now securely tell Siri what's on-screen – the key functionality for Personal Context: matthewcassinelli.com/personal-con...

If you're bored with your rectangular screenshots, try wrapping them with device frames to show what it looks like in real life. This new app Framous for Mac makes it easy – and you can automate it:

Finally got the gear to show both myself on camera as well as a top-down view of what I'm working on – simultaneously. My thanks to @elgato.com for the Cam Link 4K set!

My accessories have accessories

There are these alarm automations so it’s definitely possible, it’d take some fine tuning to get right probably
