@tundsdev I am with you on 4 out of 5 of those. I use Ducky instead of QuickType but the others are spot on. Check out XcLauncher Menu Bar as well by @geoffhackworth as well, especially if you work on multiple projects at a time.

I had a feeling @geoffhackworth would appear if I mentioned SF symbols! If you haven't already, go and get his invaluable SF Menu Bar app for macOS

@geoffhackworth Does Adaptivity have the ability to export a list of SF Symbols in certain categories in text format? I’m trying to build a picker for SFSymbols in my app but I want to strip out the symbols that are “restricted use”. Is there a public source list out there I can use? I’m trying not to do it by hand but may have to resort to that.

Very proud that two of my apps have been nominated for the 2022 Swift Community Awards: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/awards

@adaptivity in the Best Developer Tool category and @sfmenubar in the Most Inspiring Indie App category.

There’s a lot of great apps here so I don’t expect to win. If you’re an iOS developer you should check out all these apps. You could find a great tool that helps your development.

SF Menu Bar doesn't get many downloads and even fewer reviews. But those who use it really like it: https://appfigures.com/reviews/334854623728Lt0OVNfBNe7hyvD3-CdBzsQ
★★★★★ SF Menu Bar review on Mac App Store

Easy and Convenient · This is the best kind of app. It does one thing and it does it well. Having SFSymbols available quickly and easily may not change your life but it certainly makes development easier and quicker than digging around in the full SFSymbols app.

In case you missed it, I released a new video on Sunday covering Xcode Preview tips and tricks. The reviews are in. People seem to like it. You might learn something new by watching it too.

My health problems continue and the NHS in the UK is basically unable to help. An urgent referral from my GP to the hospital resulted in a letter saying "we are unable to offer you an appointment currently due to lack of capacity". When I phoned they said it might be a year. So, I need to pay more money I don't really have to see a private consultant.

I can't work and am draining savings. Please buy my apps or leave a tip in Adaptivity: https://iosdev.space/@geoffhackworth/109835456697841046

I’ve been having a lot of health problems recently which make it difficult to do development work, on both client or personal apps. My last client who provided occasional work has just dropped me. I can’t really take on any big client work due to my health. I am screwed unless I can sell a lot more of my own apps. Can you help me? And boost this thread? I will reply to this post with links to some of my apps that I think some people might find useful. iOS developers should love some of them.

Continuing this year of trying many things... I'm going to try publishing coding videos on YouTube. To experiment with the tools and process I created a first video in this style that explains why my videos present code the way they do - no syntax coloring, no live coding, ... well you get the idea. I hope you like it.
