Callouts (as popularized by Obsidian and GitHub) are one of those features that seem simple until someone really puts them to work. One user did exactly that. He sent me a document with callouts nested inside callouts, with tables and task lists tucked inside those, and asked why it didn’t render the way he expected.

Howzit has always split build notes into topics using Markdown headers. What it didn’t do was care which header level you used. A level 2 and level 3 header were both just “a topic,” and they all got flattened into one long list. As of version 2.1.46, that’s changed: deeper headers now nest under the header above them, and that nesting affects both how notes display and what happens when you run them.

I built a new app because I was tired of scrolling past jokes, quote-posts, and the same article six times on social media. I also didn’t want to miss great articles from sources not in my RSS feeds when I wasn’t plugged in for a while. When I’m ready to read, I want the links. Just the links, and all the links.

I’ve been working on Apex for a while: a unified Markdown processor that pulls together the good parts of CommonMark, GFM, MultiMarkdown, Kramdown, and Marked itself. With Marked 3.2.6, Apex lands in the app as a built-in processor (beta), so you can try that whole stack without leaving the preview.

Marked Share finally has folders. Not collections pretending to be folders. Actual places a document can live in your library, nested the way a notebook app would nest them.

Web excursions brought to you in partnership with CleanShot X, the absolute, hands-down best app for Mac screenshots. Get one of my all-time favorite apps here.

Bunch is back under development. Not a grand relaunch, just me picking the project up again, starting with the unglamorous work of making it run on macOS 27 (Golden Gate).

Public posts, profiles, and collections on Marked Share now get their own share card. Paste a link into Mastodon, Slack, iMessage, or a blog comment and you should see the title, byline, and date on a Marked-colored card instead of the generic site image.

I built a little Conway’s Game of Life toy for myself, mostly because I wanted something calm and oddly hypnotic on my phone and Watch. Somewhere along the way I named it GoLlyGee, shrugged, and thought: what the heck, put it on the App Store for $0.99.

Busy day on Marked Share. A pile of rendering fixes landed with Apex 1.0.20, front matter stopped leaking into the page, Mermaid diagrams and MathJax math finally draw, and highlights can now turn out a shareable quote card. Here’s the tour.

I write a lot of scripts that grab screenshots with , fire CleanShot X’s URL handler, or shove rectangles into AppleScript window frames. The annoying part has never been the capture itself — it’s getting the exact coordinates for the region I care about. I’ve eyeballed them, measured with Digital Color Meter, typed numbers into a calculator, and still gotten them wrong more often than I’d like.

You can put Terminal Widget on the iPhone Lock Screen now. Same targets, same sync, same CLI — just a tighter layout accessible without unlocking your phone.
