Today: the iTunes visualizer rises from the dead, a teleprompter that stops ums and ehhs in their tracks, and a tool that overengineered screenshots in the best way possible.

Bloop ↗ — Turn any Mac audio into a visual you can actually export
In my humble, 90's kid opinion, the golden era of tech took its final breath in October 2019, when Apple finally decided to sunset iTunes and the visualizer went with it. That was the one thing on your machine that wanted nothing from you and did nothing useful, and it was better for both. Bloop is that, rebuilt on a Mac that can export. Play anything and it draws what's coming out of your speakers live in eight styles, and it moves on the hits so the shapes follow the song. Drop a playlist in and it renders the whole run out as a video you can keep. And yes, my funeral music will be synced to an iTunes blob.
Your agent writes the code, and then something has to say whether it did what you asked. Usually that something is another model reading the diff and forming an opinion about it. Tiden captures your intent as requirements, versioned alongside the code, then checks every change against them using tests that actually ran in your environment, so what comes back is a pass or a fail rather than a second opinion. No model grades the diff. It works beside Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and Codex, and it's built by the team behind Qase, the testing platform 2,000+ teams already run on.

Assist ↗ — Voice annotate your Mac, get screenshots + clipboard manager
If you work with a coding agent you spend a surprising amount of the day taking a screenshot, cropping it, and typing three sentences explaining what's wrong with it. Assist puts all of that on one key. Hold option and it grabs the shot, opens an editor right there in the notch so you can circle the bit you mean, and listens while you talk over the top of it. What you say gets transcribed on the machine and comes out the other side as a prompt you can paste into Codex or Claude Code. Nothing reaches a server, because there isn't one, and it's a single payment.

Scriptly ↗ — An iOS teleprompter app controlled by your voice
Anyone who's filmed themselves talking knows the moment where the words keep scrolling and you don't, and the take's gone, and the 'ums' and 'ahs' begin. Scriptly listens while you read and moves the script to match your pace, so there's no speed to set at the start and nothing to chase once you're going. Stumble and it waits for you. The writing and the reordering happen in the same app you record in, so a thirty-second clip doesn't need a document, a prompter and a camera roll all open at once. It's on iOS, in beta.
