sure - I'm still going through a few changes, but will DM you the test flight link in a few days once the next build is ready :)

yes - A Shortcut automation that runs 3-4 times a day, and triggers the "Live Activity Toggle" (twice - to turn it off, and then on again) shortcut will do the trick to ensure it stays on at all times.

(iOS auto-removes any live activities that have not been interacted with in 8 hours)

yes, will allow for the first line to be used as the file name.

yes - you can use the "Live Activity Toggle" action, and place it on the control center or in the lock screen (replacing the torch or the camera buttons) to toggle the "sticky" mode on/off.

hi, for the moment it's not. But more customizability in filenames for Obsidian is currently in the works, and will be added soon.

Capturing to daily or existing notes (and to specific header sections within them) is currently supported for local Obsidian Sync vaults.
This was done mainly due to issues with iCloud sync being unreliable when working with files across devices.

hi :) yes, it is on my list. Will look into adding support for it soon.

Are you intending for dates to not be recognized when sending to Things?

hi, yes Funnel does natural language date recognition when sending to note taking apps.

When this date is recognized, it is shown above the horizontal scrolling list of destinations (and tapping on it will disable 18/02 from being a due date set in Things)

Thanks a lot :) and yes, will have a look into both these apps.

Funnel supports Live Activities (Dynamic Island/Lock Screen), and since watchOS 11, Apple Watch mirrors those on the Watch too :) So if you start capturing, and switch out of Funnel mid-way to another app, a Live Activity is triggered.

A better watchOS app is planned (but after the iPad version).

I've started putting together a Starter Pack with folks from around the Swift / iOS community. If you see someone who's missing, tag them here, and I will add them.

Bluesky is built to make social more like the Web again, so we will never suppress links. Link to your writing, your art, your personal site β€” this is the social internet, designed from the ground up to be open and interoperable.

yes, they both point to the same (if at all, stagging will likely get the new features first)

Thanks! :) Yea, I used staging as previously the regular Bluesky website (without staging) was not working, and so this was the only option.

hi!

The extension is working fine for me now. App passwords should work! Does your settings look something similar to this? Can you also try uninstalling and reinstalling the extension again?

I haven't implemented link cards in the compose dialogue yet, will look into it :)

Raycast is a quick launcher for the Mac - with lots of customizability and extensions :) In a way, a more powerful alternative to Spotlight.
