BurnRate 1.4.0: It Updates Itself Now

April 13, 2026 / Tom

A few weeks back I shipped BurnRate. It’s a small macOS menu bar app that shows your Claude Code usage limits at a glance. It had a solid enough response and a some people dug it enough to use it daily (myself included, of course).

But there’s a problem: how do those people know when there’s a new version?

The answer, until now, was “they don’t.” They’d have to check in with me or the product page or just stumble into it.

Not exactly ideal

Now Playing Notify 1.1.0: Act on What’s Playing

April 6, 2026 / Tom

Version 1.0.0 aimed to solve a single problem: knowing what track just started without switching to Spotify. Occasionally though, there are times throughout the day I want to share a song with someone.

So in the latest build, I added a couple of additional features the most significant of which is to make it easier to grab a link to the currently playing song.

TuneLink: Easily Convert Music Links Between Spotify and Apple Music

March 30, 2026 / Tom

A friend sends you a Spotify link. You’re an Apple Music subscriber. You tap it, Spotify opens (or the App Store depending no your setup), and now you’re searching for the song manually. Or someone in a group chat drops an Apple Music link and half the group can’t use it. It’s a small friction, but it happens (at least in my group chats).

TuneLink fixes this. Share a link from one service, get the equivalent on the other and it’s automatically added to your clipboard.

How To Find Missing More Tags in Your WordPress Posts

March 23, 2026 / Tom

If you’ve been running a WordPress blog for any length of time and you use – or used to use – the more tag, you’ve probably got some of your posts with the tag and some without the tag.

That’s how most of my archive pages are at this point, anyway.

I chalk it up to my own inconsistency but I got tired of finding a post, manually editing it, then moving on.

So I built a plugin to find them all at once.

Where Can I Watch? 1.1.0: Smarter Sorting, More Providers, and a Bunch of Fixes

March 16, 2026 / Tom

A couple of weeks ago, I released Where Can I Watch? launched on the App Store, and I recently shipped the first update. Version 1.1.0 includes four new features and six bug fixes most of which came directly from things that either bugged me while using the app every day or feedback from those using it.

That’s one of the nice things about building something you actually use. The feedback loop is short. Something feels off, you fix it. Something’s missing, you add it.

Here’s what changed.
