TextSniper: easy, quick way to extract plaintext (macOS)

One app I use pretty much every day is TextSniper, which makes it easy to capture text that is often non-selectable, including from YouTube videos, PDFs, images, etc. I mainly use it for quickly capturing text that I want to paste elsewhere (an email to share, for example) without the fancy formatting. I know that Option+Shift+Command+V is supposed to do this in macOS, but I find it doesn't always work. Personally, I've always disliked reading emails that are full of multiple fontfaces and forma...

Goodbye Focus app. It seems like Focus has been abandoned, the app no longer displays a UI when I click on it, so I can’t control focus sessions, and it pops up errors when the automation I had set up is supposed to run. The website doesn’t seem to have been updated since 2004, and...

When I find it hard to focus, I use the Pomodoro technique (& why I use Focus Tomato 2 app)

For those not familiar with the term, the Pomodoro technique is a time management technique that breaks work down into intervals (traditionally 25 minutes), separated by short breaks. Goal: to maintain high focus, and prevent mental fatigue. I started using this technique during the pandemic, when I was finding it incredibly difficult to focus on creativestuff for more than a few minutes before feeling compelled to doomscroll headlines or social media. I started with an embarrassingly short inte...

Paprika app for storing recipes (no subscription fee! at least for now)

I've been using the Paprika Recipe Manager app as my main tool for collecting recipes because: Lots of other features I like, but one of the most attractive for me: NO SUBSCRIPTION MODEL. I just paid once for the app. However, with the ongoing open beta for Paprika 4, I believe that while the app remains free to download, new premium features will require a subscription after the beta period is over. According to this Paprika 4 FAQ, existing users will automatically be upgraded to the new app BU...

SimurgArray going public: what it takes, and a calendar

Part 4 of 5. Right now SimurgArray lives in a private repository on my own Git server. It has a license, a changelog, a user guide, wheels, a Docker image and a version number that just became 2.0.0. In other words, it looks public. It is not, yet. Publishing code is easy. Publishing it responsibly...

SimurgArray: What good could it do?

Part 3 of 5. "Benefit to humanity" is a big phrase for a tool that mostly reads binary files. I will try to keep this post the right size. SimurgArray will not cure anything. What it can do is lower a few barriers that currently decide who gets to do genetics research and how much...

Are there SimurgArray alternatives? Yes. Why build it anyway?

Part 2 of 5. Whenever someone tells me they are writing their own genotype caller, my first instinct is to ask whether they have looked around. So it is only fair that I answer the same question about myself. I did look around. There is a lot of good work out there. Some of it...

Why SimurgArray should exist?

Part 1 of 5. Every genotyping array tells a small story before it tells you anything about DNA. A glass slide goes into a scanner, the scanner writes two IDAT files per sample (one red, one green), and a few hundred thousand bead intensities wait for someone to turn them into genotypes. That someone is...

There’s an App for That. I’d Rather Have a Button.

Dean Hochman, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons In 2009, Apple launched a major advertising campaign entitled “There’s an App for That”. No matter how far-fetched the idea, there was bound to be an app available for it. Since then, apps have come to play an increasingly significant role in our lives. Now, in 2026,...

Moment Pro ii and getting back to "real life" photography

I was doing some spring cleaning recently and came across old photos from the pre-mobile-phone-camera days (2000-2004 to be exact). These were photos taken with a very basic digital camera and then developed into actual, real-life photos! On paper! As I went through these “old” photos, there was feel to them that’s just not there with current iPhone photos. My iPhone 17 Pro takes amazing photos, but they come out looking good with little effort because of the computational photography. Computati...

Obsidian Reader

I was excited to see make this announcement last week: I use GoodLinks for saving most things I find on the web because it does great saving most things (and parsing text from most news outlets, including Apple News), highlighting is very easy in it, and I can easily export my highlights in Markdown to Obsidian (although in my desire to cure my digital hoarding disorder, I’m trying to do that less). However, this new element to the Obsidian web clipper app is really cool and I’ll probably use it...
