I am thinking of upgrading to Notion AI and I was blown away by the interstitial! First of all props for sending a reminder email 5 days (FIVE DAYS!!) ahead of the actual charge. The way that it is laid out with the timeline makes it very easy to understand how long the trial will be.

I just discovered “A tiny Mac app that converts song links between Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more.” The app, Relinq, has one of the best icons I’ve seen in a while. https://relinq.app/

In the MacStories Weekly: Issue 478, John and Federico are taking a couple weeks off to recharge before the new OS and iPhone releases are announced this fall.

"As much as we dislike pausing our regular publication schedule, years of doing this have taught us that a well-timed break keeps us from burning out and makes for a better fall season when we return."

I am so happy that these guys are publicly stating this. ... https://tuckerchastain.com/2025/08/08/in-the-macstories-weekly-issue.html
