Another good read up for the topic of creating Mac AppStore screenshots, is this blog post it was very helpful.

Vanilla - hide Mac menu bar icons for free Vanilla is a free Mac app that lets you hide icons from your menu bar.

To get ready for releasing Coca 1.3 New screenshots are needed, for this I read up on the best options.

An app I enjoyed right away is Vanilla for macOS, it allows you to clean the desktop and menu bar icons real quick.

I needed to hear this thanks!

The settings pane of Eidetic now displaying also a touch of orange color on it's buttons.

Eidetic is also receiving some attention with accent color! It's such a delightful little touch. ✂️

The settings pane of Coca now displaying also a touch of green color on it's buttons.

Today I added an accent color to Coca, it is a nice little touch ahead of bigger UI changes. 🍃

Now tuning into "Press Start: Games development on Apple platforms", check it out here: developer.apple.com/videos/play/...

I also updated Eidetic's icon!
An update is also in the works. It is never too late I guess. 😃

Coca 1.3 is getting ready, can't wait too ship it soon!

- Updated icons
- Improved stability
- Fixed some bugs

Reviving my old projects with new life feels right. I was suprised too see so many people still using them.

There was also a leak fixed in the way I checked for the connection and disconnetion of charges to a Mac!

Components are a thing as well now. :)

Working on Coca is fun:

- Launch at login working again ✅
- Settings window is not showing unasked anymore ✅
- Icon composer is used in the project ✅

I'm contemplating making a small release with these changed or reworking the Settings UI and interval select for a bigger update.

I'm considering a pro but then I wonder if it will improve that much over my PS5 Fat. Anyway you got a friend. 😃

In my opinion doubling down on what the app does best could work. New stuff needs to be simple, old stuff further simplified.

In the business of keeping your Mac awake, if you can call it that, there is plenty of alternatives. Today even more so than back in the day. What could differentiate my Coca leaf from the Coffee or Amphetamin based neighbours? The substance name arms race is real in this niche btw.

So turns out it got a loyal fellowship and even tho there is plenty of alternatives people don't want it to disappear.

This motivates me to do a 10th anniversary Coca update! It does deserve love after all. First a 1.3 release to prepare and fix some bugs.

After that I want to add some features!

Coca Coca is a small tool that makes it easy to prevent sleepmode on your Mac. Keep your system awake with one click.

So my app Coca is a little menu bar helper. It keeps your Mac awake with one click.

One of the first software projects I ever did. It is small and does not have a ton of features, but it was polished for Yosemite.

Sorry for the old ass website:

A coca leaf icon in black in front of a gradient sphere in green with a black circle border and black background.

I have to admit though the old macOS icon style was rather charming and will be missed.

A coca leaf icon on a grean gradient app icon with classic rounded corners, before a black background. The app label says Coca.

Today I played around with Icon Composer a bit, pretty decent so far.

This could be a new icon for my app Coca using liquid glas.

Using modern Xcode 26 with an LLM made the task certainly a little less daunting.

Back then most of the code was just written in one file, rookie mistake haha. Bringing structure was suprisingly easy with some LLM help.

We will see, I will be cleaning up and fixing ancienct bugs soon.

I opened an old codebase of mine, almost 10 years since inception. It still compiles!

I fixed all four warnings and started trying to understand what it was, 10 years ago, that kept me focused at night on this.

The wintergarden was flooded the other day, so I had to remove all the furniture and retro gaming stuff. 😭

At least I can continue my Fallout 3 run in the living room for the time beeing.

Lately I did try some new games, namely Under the Waves, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" and Stellar Blade.

Stellar Blade worked best for me and close up is Indiana Jones. The music of Stellar Blade is amazing. The enemies are disgusting. 😃

A cozy corner of a modern winter garden with a wooden lounge chair, a small cat toy on the cushion, and a tall wooden plant stand filled with various vibrant houseplants. LED grow lights illuminate the foliage, and soft evening light filters through the glass walls and partially closed blinds. A cardboard cat castle and humidifier complete the relaxed atmosphere.

Today I also finally got around to fix my plant lights, then inspiration hit me and I attached them to my plant shelve! 🌱

Winter is coming and the light around these parts is insufficient for this halve of the year.

Update for the retro corner, I added an older Apple TV via an HDMI to RCA converter, it looks pretty decent. Now I'm watching Indiana Jones.

Youma the black cat sitting on my lap getting pets, with my pc and work in the background.

Today I will be pairing with my co worker. 💻🐈‍⬛

Thank you! I like it much more than the modern big screen lately

A CRT with Xbox Kinect on top, sourrounded by plants in a cozy space with a wodden table. The table has game controllers of N64, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii U and Super Nintendo, also two glasses of water. In the background a light orb and a light strip illuminate the space while a huge begonia plant looms over a shelve.

Here you can see the general vibe of the retro corner with more light. 👾

A retro tv in a room dimmly lit with dark green light, a retro crt tv is seen on the left. It displays a game called Fallout 3. A wanderer through the capital wastes is seen resting at an outlook. The view reveals the skyline of the scarred wastes of what once was Washington DC. The washington monument can still be seen, sticking out like a broken tooth.

Lately as part of my hobby I set up a bunch of old school game consoles. There I have been obsessing over a Fallout 3 rerun on Xbox 360.

The atmosphere often hits me hard, I hope this shot can give a glimpse.

You have a typo in your legacy gray folder, but the naming is going strong
