4,000 Google clicks in a month for my local file converter

That means people converted their files without uploading anything to a server 4,000 times.

Hopefully that keeps growing

I made an app to make screen recordings like an Apple Ad

Just crossed 200 users!

ShotGlass makes filming your product demos easy. Like this

No editing skills needed. Just hit record and get cinematic 3D shots of your screen

Just shipped v0.2.3 with cropping (after recording) and way more reliable recording on high-res external monitors (8k)

You can now use keyboard shortcuts to instantly start recording in ShotGlass

No clicking through menus. Just hit a key combo and you're recording a cinematic demo like this straight away

Just fixed a bug that's been destroying me for 6 months Only 1% of users hit it, but when they did, the app was completely broken for them Almost everyone wanted a refund Spent weeks trying to reproduce it. Finally nailed it today Feels incredible

Made a local file converter app that handles almost anything (docs, images, video, audio, email, comics)

Drag in a file, pick the format you want, done

No uploads to sketchy sites. No command-line BS. Just works offline

I build it in public here 👋

I love my new app update screen :)

Just shipped some insane noise cancellation for ShotGlass (powered by a local neural network)

Now I can record while my vacuum runs right next to my mic

Or just get clean audio anywhere

I’ve been building an app to convert almost any file to any other file for 16 months now

And it just crossed 2,555 users

Good for images, audio and video
But also documents, emails and comic books.

Recently added vector graphics and working on Apple office app support now!
