The Sad State of Mac Calendar Scripting
mjtsai,
AppleScript support with popular Mac calendar apps is surprisingly limited. With Apple Mail, it’s easy to write a script that operates on the selected e-mail messages, and I’ve written many such scripts. I’d like to do this same with calendar events. For example, sometimes I want to make the same change to one of the […]
Qbix Calendar Apps and the Mac App Store
A reader shared a story about the confusing and unfortunate situation with Qbix’s calendar apps on the Mac App Store. There are two separate apps: Calendars (which used to be called Calendar 2, previously discussed) and Calendar Plus. Calendar Plus hasn’t been updated in 10 years but is still for sale as a $9.99 up-front […]

ToothFairy 2.8.5
ToothFairy 2.8.5 is a maintenance update of my Bluetooth menu bar utility. It fixes a bug where sometimes ToothFairy wouldn’t auto-launch at login. An interesting bug was: ToothFairy uses SMLoginItemSetEnabled(), which, instead of launching the app directly, launches a helper app that can launch the main app. Originally, it did this using NSWorkspace.launchApplication(_:), but then […]

ScreenFloat 2
Matthias Gansrigler (Mastodon): ScreenFloat powers up your screenshots by allowing you to take screenshots and recordings that float above everything else, keeping certain information always in sight. I’ve known about this app for a long time, but I’d never used it or thought much about it because the description doesn’t speak to me. I just […]
Are There Any Tetris Games for Mac?
John Gruber: Not much has changed from 2018. There is an officially licensed game in the Mac App Store now: Tetris Beat. It’s part of Apple Arcade, so most of you can probably download it and play it. It’s not just plain Tetris — and whatever it is that it wants to be, it sucks. It doesn’t […]
