Big news!
I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺🔍🤏

 It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!

Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.

Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.

Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!

also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:

For #wwdc26, I had the privilege of leading a team to ship a major update to the developer docs for the App Intents framework. I'm immensely grateful to work with SO many smart and kind people. I still can't believe THIS is my job.

Here are some essentials:
1. Getting started with the App Intents framework: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/getting-started-with-the-app-intents-framework
2. Apple Intelligence and Siri AI: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/apple-intelligence-and-siri-ai
3. App Intents updates: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/updates/appintents

Please leave feedback, be kind, and build amazing apps!

Re: why set an alarm type reminder

It allows you to set an alarm more than 24 hours in advance. In my job, I often have deliverables for other countries, leading to tasks that must happen in the middle of the night. Previously, I had to set reminders for the night before that told me nothing other than “set an alarm for this time”

Now I can set it and forget it, many days in advance. Not everyone has this use case or anything similar, but it is crazy useful for me.
