Where Can I Watch? 1.2.0: Episode Tracking and More

Where Can I Watch? started off as an app with a single purpose: tell me what service is streaming a show or movie. But the more I used the app (and the more a few users contacted me), the more it made sense to also track all of the shows and movies that are being watched. And with shows, there are obviously multiple episodes and, for most, multiple seasons.

BurnRate 1.4.0: It Updates Itself Now

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).

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.
