Very excited that Primary Technology, a show about how tech affects all of our lives, launched today. I'm especially excited to co-host with @stephenrobles, who is really one of the best there is.

“Everyone as a kid has built something in Lego," @LandoNorris said at the announcement. "It's nice, especially when it's your own project, and you get to know that people are going to be building this at home. That's pretty amazing."

I was in Monaco for @LEGO_Group and @McLarenF1 roll out of a pair of helmets co-designed with Norris and Piastri. Story here: inc.com/jason-aten/lego-desi…

He estado probando la beta de esta nueva app de notas llamada Contextly y, sinceramente, merece la pena echarle un ojo.
Esta app tiene algo especial: le da contexto a tus notas integrándose con el calendario.
Audio, IA, temas… y mucho más.

Yes, I made a Notes App. No, the world probably doesn't need another one.
The thing is, every notes app I've ever used is very good at letting you take notes, but they aren't great at all of the context around your notes.
That's why I made Contextly.

Además, @JasonAten ha hecho la app el solo, con la ayuda de Claude code. Es el claro ejemplo de cuando se tiene una idea y se lleva a cabo. El enlace está aquí:

I built Contextly for me because it works the way I do. It turns out, a lot of other people wish they had something that worked this way as well. So yeah — another notes app.
But this time, it's one that works the way you do.

The iPhone version of Contextly has been out for 4 days and I've pushed out 3 updates already. The latest adds a ToDo tab to aggregate those in one place, and make it easy to either send them all to your favorite task manager, or send them individually.

On the iPhone, it has to be easy to very quickly capture a note and then review what you need to do.
Each is meant to feel intuitive and useful in its own environment, and I think these updates help accomplish that.

It's built natively for Mac--as well as iPhone and iPad-- and includes on-device Apple Intelligence. Nothing leaves your device for a server unless you turn on iCloud sync. There is an optional OpenAI integration if you want to summarize larger notes, but--it's optional.

I also wrote about the process of using Claude Code to turn my idea for the perfect notes app into a real thing that anyone can now use. tl:dr, it's really hard, but for different reasons than you think.

And, of course, here's a link to the app in the Mac App Store. It's free forever, with a subscription for additional features. There's also an iPhone version coming shortly!

Hypothetically--and hear me out--what if your little Perplexity or Claude or whatever little robot just got tired of watching that button and just rewired the whole thing instead?

Whoever updated Podcasts Connect at Apple to allow hitting publish before a file finishes processing…THANK YOU 🫡

hypothetically, if I needed some beta testers for the notes app I talked about on the most recent episode of
Primary Technology, would anyone be interested in helping me out?
