Colder Weather Arriving - New Mac App Bloom - Running Work Trees In Parallel - Open Source On GitHub - Herd App URL Fix - AI With Built-In Browsers - Apple September Announcement - iPhone 18 Pro…

The jumper is on, it's getting colder.

Spatie / Bloom - GitHub repository

Worktrees in parallel

Setup and startup scripts

Icons showing the states

Keep an eye on all projects

Open Source - free to use

Limitations - Herd app didn't work due to hard coding

Devs fixed the issue

Agents able to now view their work and check it

Lots of alternatives, but this is being used by the company developing it so it should continue development

Apple News - September Announcements

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max announced

I have been upgrading every 2 years, and so am looking at the 18 Pro

Look after the iPhone so you get a better trade in value

Trade in is safer than selling it privately

AirPods 5 and Apple Watch 12 and Ultra 4, plus the big reveal which looks interesting but not something I want to purchase at this time

Making sure you know is available and what they can do

Researching the upgrades to see what benefit I will get

Knowing if the upgrade will do what you want in the future

Software updates that give you new functionality

Checking software compatibility so you don't have to downgrade

Know the capabilities of your existing and next gen hardware and software

I'll let you know what I decide
