[Lemmy Thread](https://lemmy.world/post/23872498 ““Things Themes for Arctic” on the Arctic Lemmy Community”) I’ve maintained a fairly prolific habit of “adapting” the color palettes of Cultured Code’s Things 3 (light and dark) for the various software in which I spend most of my time.
I was excited to have another opportunity to do so, recently, for my favorite Lemmy client! So far, I’m still fiddling with the Light version, but the Dark version is available below!

Long-Awaited, Elegantly-Executed Somehow, this 1.4 MB, virtually inconfigurable, single-use application manages to be one of the most powerful audio manipulation tools on iOS. Those who remember maintaining a GarageBand install just because they occasionally needed to trim audio files will celebrate. One of very few apps I’ve come across that I absolutely wouldn’t change at all but would pay much more for.
Extraordinarily accurate (especially compared to any of its “competition”) and astonishingly robust.

THE solution for those who actually frame As his co-editor notes in MacStories' review of Version 1.0, Federico Viticci’s Apple Frames Shortcut does indeed overlap in functionality with Shareshot, technically, but - more importantly, from my perspective - the two stand together high above any other mockup creation solution (for any platform).
At first, I was disappointed when I tried to use Shareshot’s initial release version. Boy, this could sure use some keyboard shortcuts, I thought, along with there’s no way this system of ‘choosing’ (not choosing) frame sizes isn’t irritating every single user of this app.

Whilst diligently counting the sparse blessings offered by LLMs in 2024… I’m thrilled and proud to offer you - thanks to Google Gemini - a Zalgoing TextExpander Snippet!
…which you can access by joining my Text Fuck Snippet Group or by inputting the source yourself (embedded below.)

features like Screen Time will never help you achieve whatever vague conception of reduced usage you may have. If you haven't yet quantified the figures you'll find within it in mental estimates, you aren't really concerned at all and if you have, Screen Time will only confirm them. Using reminder notifications to optimize your appflow makes no attempt at all to actually escape the mentality of the behavior you seek to lessen from yourself.

With Voice Memos, two tracks can be layered on top of one another. There's also an option to separate layers and edit layer mixes.
Two-track projects can be imported directly into Logic Pro on the iPhone 16 Pro and ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max.

Why/how in God’s name of the fuck would it be limited to (effectively) a single device??
…Voice Memos does not need to be a DAW.

This fucking code
491348
is one of those things I somehow always manage to forget before I ever need it, again, and - naturally - is somehow not fucking documented anywhere but this support page, that I’ve ever been able to find.
Open Things 3. Go to Settings. Tap General → Diagnostics → Enter Code. Enter the code `491348` Tap Send Things Database. The file you’re getting is called `Things Database.

byu/dkmj01 from discussion
inpodcast There's a tedious way to do it, but it worked for me:
•Open the podcast using the Apple Podcast app (I used an iPhone with the latest iOS, didn’t try earlier versions or desktop app)
•Play the podcast and click the circle with three dots inside it, select “View Transcript”
•Now the entire transcript displays on your iPhone. Select and copy a large chunk of text.

Today, Uuganbayar Otgonbayar added astonishingly responsive and (like the rest of the app) quite original CarPlay support to their React Native-based iOS/iPadOS client for Whyp and…
Oh man! I spent nearly an hour pushing it as hard as I could but found only delight.

Aiko Transcript All right folks, it’s your favorite thing, favorite time.
It’s time to play around with the changes to audio capture specifically, an iPadOS 18.1 beta 2.
I don’t actually, I don’t know if this is as a beta 2.
Two things I noticed, the thing that they introduced in 16 I believe, which is called mic modes, where you could switch between standard wide spectrum and voice isolation.

Back in July, 2021, I posted a thread on the Apple Developer forums asking for clarification on the differences between hardware keyboard support on iPad and iPhone.
The response… blew my mind, suffice it to say, but I would like to take a moment to champion ChatGPT, of all fucking things, for its reply when given the same request and asked to respond:
Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question and the context provided.

My absolute favorite Git client… on ANY platform. I had the relatively unique experience of coming to Git, mobile-first, via this very application on my iPhone 8 Plus, almost exactly 4 years ago. Thanks to GitHub’s Education program, I’ve had access to unlimited repository creation since that first day, and it’s honestly quite a testament to the power of Working Copy just how much of a mess I made in those initial few months.

The best compression/extraction utility on the platform. By far the most delightful compression/extraction utility for macOS (imo) is somewhat diminished in delightfulness in its mobile form, though not in its pure functionality. From the perspective of a year one iOS user with plenty of experience exploring what alternatives have been offered since the introduction of the File Provider API in iOS11, Keka for iOS/iPadOS' shear speed is distinct enough from its few platform competitors to warrant the title of Best such utility on the platform.

Whyp Raw File As of iOS17, it would appear that responsibility for synthesizing the Default Greeting preview (locally on one’s device) has now fallen to whichever Siri voice you currently have selected in settings at the time.
Upon noticing this, I verified that the actual recording a missed caller will hear is the same (apparently carrier-side) as its been since before the trees and rocks on Earth and it occurred to me just how much better stock, out of the box Siri Voice 2 sounds than her, so I gave it a shot.

GitHub Issue URL Scheme - taio://actions?action=run&name=Clippings%20Backup WTF This action uses the Get Clippings action step to return the content of all clippings, which is then counted by lines and backed up (by default) in the root of one’s iCloud Drive storage for Taio as clippings.md. (iCloud Drive/Taio/Editor/clippings.md) Before finishing, the action displays the number of lines it has backed up.

The notable boundary-pusher in the iPadOS/iOS local command line. There are now quite a few terminal emulator-esque apps on the App Store, but I’ve been using a-Shell since it was joined only by Blink (from which it was forked) and iSH. As it was then, a-Shell remains the only one of these with which one can actually accomplish command line tasks locally beyond screwing around. I am ultimately not a command line native, and I don’t have the basic theory beneath my use of Python scripts, yet I’ve been able to accomplish startlingly powerful things within this app, thanks in large part to gracious and immediately-available support via the project’s Discord server.

I Am No Longer Afraid of JSON All of Simon’s apps are genius and wholly unique, but Jayson will always have a special place in mine own heart as the single application which finally killed my phobia of JSON, in general. It is by far the most elegant and intelligent means of manipulating JSON dictionaries I’ve ever seen on any platform. I’ve worked with both the iOS and macOS apps, now, and both are - dare I say it - a genuine joy to use.
