@MacBalance @highlights No, thank you for sharing! Highlights does remember the page you were on, but not area of the page and document specific zoom level. However, that should be doable, I’ll look into it😊

@MacBalance @highlights From the question, I assume you are talking about the notes panel on iPad. The panel is hidden by default in portrait orientation and shown in landscape. This makes sense for standard document sizes, but if you always use the iPad in landscape (e.g. in a keyboard case) I can see it being less optimal..?

(On macOS the app remembers your sidebar configuration, but rotating screens are less of an issue there)

@stroughtonsmith thanks for doing this every year!

@highlights is a PDF reader made for researchers or anyone who annotate a lot of documents. Now available in Liquid Glass on iPhone, iPad and Mac✨

@charliemchapman According to to the docs search is included. I think they count PPO impressions differently depending on the test you run. If your treatment includes app icons basically all impressions will count, but when testing screenshots only views showing screenshots will be included.

That’s also why the analytics for the same time period are not 1:1 with the PPO numbers. (Check your unique impressions and filter by “Page Type”)

@matthewcassinelli @highlights is a PDF reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac for research or just people who annotate a lot of documents. It also includes a document scanner that can do OCR (unlike the one built into Files.app). It is done on-device and does not require the Pro subscription.

The latest update lets you launch the document scanner from a bunch of new places thanks to the new widgets & shortcuts in iOS 17✨

Today is a very sad day for the Apple automation community. Alex Hay, the maker of Toolbox Pro, recently passed away after a battle with cancer.

Alex was a rare talent whose apps empowered people by extending what was possible with automation. Please join the MacStories team in remembering Alex during Automation April: https://www.macstories.net/stories/remembering-alex-hay-the-maker-of-toolbox-pro-during-automation-april/

Remembering Alex Hay, the Maker of Toolbox Pro, During Automation April

I have some sad news to share with the MacStories community. Recently, Alex Hay, the developer of Toolbox Pro and other apps, passed away after a battle with cancer. I can’t tell you how hard it is to write those words, and I can only imagine what those closest to Alex are going through. However,
