Scripting & Automation - Pockity

A new beta (v2026.4) is now available for Pockity for #macOS which brings #AppleScript support to the app enabling powerful automations.

Here's a video demo of what this looks like.

All ledgers, entries, accounts, and categories are queryable.

Schnell via #Raycast eine neue Journal-Zeile in die tägliche Notiz von #NotePlan reinfeuern, ohne dass NotePlan dazu in den Vordergrund kommt. So kann ich ablenkungsfrei möglichst schnell weiterarbeiten. Wurde möglich, weil NotePlan in der neuen Version den #AppleScript-Support auf einen völlig neuen Level gebracht hat.

NotePlan ist immer noch mein PKM-System (Personal Knowledge Management), kommt mit integriertem Aufgaben-Manager und Kalender.

Nørdnotizen von Dr. Markus Jasinski
Modern LLMs are incredible. Yesterday in the course of 2-3 hours I was able to have it code a simple Numbers App MCP server based on the #Apple #AppleScript .sdef definition file and enable #claude to interact with #numbers documents directly!
Dialog Toolkit, InDesign and paste peculiarity

Good old Pashua will not survive when Apple ditches Rosetta in next OS. So I am rewriting all dialogue boxes. When scripting InDesign and putting my scripts in the Script Panel I have this: a) If saved as an App I am allowed to paste text into the text field of the script b) If saved as a script I am NOT allowed to paste into the text field. Using the “Simple Sample” script from the Dialog Toolkit as example (as below) I have seen some beachballing on Tahoe when saving as an app, so I was pl...

Where does the SD Notary app look for developer ID?

I am trying the SD Notary 2 app for the first time. It looks great. However, it doesn’t seem to find my developer ID, which blocks the app from doing the good stuff that it does. Any hints?

I alluded to automating my screenshot creation for Octavo's website and App Store page. I finally got round to writing a blog post about how I did it!

It's a combination of #XCUITest automation, #AppleScript for setting up the Mac, and a bit of scripting to run the tests and post-process the images.

Problem with System Events

Hello I’m on Sequoia 15.7.4 and I’m having a problem with “system events” in Script Debugger that doesn’t seem right. According to the error message, Script Debugger, and all the scripts that use it, don’t have permission to use “System Events,” but only intermittently! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Are you experiencing this problem? I’ve obviously reset the permissions in the Mac’s system settings, then restarted, and run Onyx for a cleanup. It hasn’t changed anything. It’s rand...

NSLog neutered in the Unified Log in macOS 26 Tahoe - Options?

As of macOS 26 Tahoe, NSLog entries in the Unified Log are now redacted and treated as private. (The full entry is still reported in Xcode and to stdout.) Apple actually referred to this a “New Feature.” Apple is pushing people to use OSLog in Objective-C. It is my understanding that OSLog is not available in AppleScriptObjC. If that is not correct, I would appreciate some information about how to do so. As a replacement for NSLog, I have been using logger via a do shell script. I am curious i...
