I spent the last week or two working on a CLI for EasyMQTT and managed to get it to a point where I feel comfortable releasing, so here we go https://easymqtt.app/cli

For now it supports basic MQTT operations publishing, subscribing as well as accessing EasyMQTT data. This will make it easy for AI tools or assistants like OpenClaw and Hermes to interact with your MQTT setup,
I'm to see what people come up with!

EasyMQTT CLI

A macOS command-line companion for EasyMQTT with publish, subscribe, broker diagnostics, app data access, and local MCP server mode.

Reviving this idea I had for EasyMQTT widgets to be displayed as live activities and… it’s looking very promising! All that work I put into the background connection keeper is paying off. Looking to ship this with 1.26.0

Working on shipping some location features in EasyMQTT. Also planning to include a “connection keeper” feature that keeps the MQTT connection open in the background, which is something users have asked for for years.
It’s using the location APIs to keep the app active in the background, this is how other apps like Prompt 3 are doing it. Could be tricky to get through app review but fingers crossed! If anyone has any tips, let me know.

Really happy to finally open source *Ghostwriter* today.

I built it because I wanted a calmer way to keep up with feeds, newsletters, podcasts, YouTube videos, and saved Wallabag articles. It pulls everything together, cleans it up, can summarize with AI, and turns it into readable EPUB digests.

Self-hosted, Raspberry Pi-friendly, and something I’m genuinely proud of.

Teaching OpenClaw to design 3D models to print and it worked even better than expected! Here’s a skill for it https://github.com/LucaKaufmann/gridfinity-generator-skill #openclaw #3dprinting #gridfinity
I spent the last couple of months building up a pile of fun side projects, using various technologies. In the age of AI coding tools it's incredibly easy to step outside your iOS comfort zone and branch out into cross-platform/flutter/backend.
The hard part: getting things over the finish line and actually shipping some projects

My micro side project app Guess-a-tron, a human vs AI guessing game is now available on the App Store.

Go up against different algorithms and AI models (GPT and Gemini with own API keys), and try to out-smart them. My preschooler already gave his stamp of approval by spending a solid half hour playing it 👍

‎Guess-a-tron

‎Step back into the retro Gameboy era with Guess-a-tron — the ultimate AI vs. Human showdown! Pick your answer, face off against the AI, and race to see who can guess correctly first. Can you outsmart the machine, or will the Guess-a-tron prove it knows your mind better than you do? With a classic…

App Store
It's been a while since I last submitted a completely new app to the App Store, but here we go đź‘€
The whole repository is now public as well https://github.com/LucaKaufmann/Guess-a-tron

A couple of vibecoding prompts later and the AI guessing game looks like this

I took my kid to a science museum where they had an AI exhibit. There was a machine learning mind reader game where players went up against an algorithm that tried to predict the players next move.

I thought this would make a fun little side project, I did some research and wrote a specification for it, fired up VibeTunnel and after a couple of iterations we had a working game.
