behind the scenes: how Chat Comics actually writes your narration 📖

it doesn't just caption individual messages. the AI reads the whole arc — who's winding who up, where the running jokes live, when the drama peaks.

then it writes a proper narrative. like a comic book editor who's read every message and decided what the story *actually* is.

you pick the mood. it finds the story.

Shipped something I needed myself: SaneSales 📊

It pulls from LemonSqueezy, Gumroad, and Stripe — all in one dashboard. Revenue charts, order history, home screen widgets.

The interesting technical constraint: all API calls go from your Mac directly to those services. My server is never in the loop. You can verify this in the public code.

github.com/sane-apps/sanesales

$6.99 one-time. Free to try first.

Hot take: "on-device by default" is the minimum bar for trustworthy software, not a premium feature.

Every SaneApps utility runs locally. No API calls to my servers. No clipboard data leaving your Mac. No usage telemetry.

Not because I'm legally required to — because it's the right way to build.

The code is public. Verify it yourself.

You asked, we listened!

The number 1 request since launch has been more control over voices, so we got to work.

Xarra 1.1 introduces Voice Management, a new setting that lets you choose your preferred voice for each language, not just the default.

We've also made it clearer how to download Premium or Enhanced voices in iOS Settings for a much more natural sound.

Thank you for the feedback! Keep it coming!
