So so so stoked to release my very first Mac app!
Nameshot:
A tiny app that solves a big problem: naming your messy stash of "Screenshot 2025-12-15 at 06.59.24" nonsense entirely on device via Apple Intelligence.
Your first desktop Tidy-up is on the house and I would love to hear all your feedback! RTs appreciated!

Deep dive on our AI iOS Designer workflow 🧵
Before Quest, I worked on Stitch and spent hours trying to understand how designers' jobs would evolve with AI.
Now I'm working with @premiumtantan every day on Quest, and I think we finally figured something out.
Let me tell you a story about how unethical Anthropic is.
In April, the Anthropic team began heavily courting our engineering team to tell them corporate secrets, technical details, and future plans for @cfosilvia.
They pretended their interest was due to our exploding popularity and accelerating compute usage, but it quickly became apparent that Anthropic was fishing for details on how we built our product and why it was so popular.
This included the Anthropic team trying to wine-and-dine our engineers, including a infamous steak dinner where someone told our team "don't worry about it, this is on Dario."
Our team was not born yesterday, so we quickly realized what was happening and refused to share sensitive information and technical details with the Anthropic team.
As we suspected, Anthropic was trying to get information from us, so they could build a competing product. Some people on their team must have a guilty conscious because they messaged us a few days ago to give us "a heads-up" that they were launching a competing product.
Thankfully, the Silvia engineering team has been aggressively working to get off the frontier models for the last ~ 6 months. That effort has been highly successful, because our compute costs are ~ 97% lower when we use our own model & hardware, the latency is lower, and the accuracy of answers materially increases as well.
The sad thing for Anthropic is they have now released an inferior product and they had to sell their soul to do it.
The only thing worse than being a trillion-dollar company that can't beat a 10-person team is being a trillion-dollar company that no one trusts and everyone knows is unethical.
Serious investors continue to choose @cfosilvia over ChatGPT, Claude, and other frontier companies because these products are not optimized to solve the actual user problem.
Today, Anthropic launched a Claude wrapper that is masquerading as a personal finance product. Best of luck to them.
But I will take the Silvia misfits vs the Anthropic losers any day of the week.
if you want to support people trying to do things the right way, and help investors be more informed, then consider signing up for Silvia today: https://t.co/4LyYZFRC4m
I've gotten tired of dealing with local servers slowing down my laptop, so I built https://t.co/NR1BAHZRwG to:
- see what local servers are running
- how long they've been running
- their resource use
- notify me if one spikes
- auto-kill old servers
- give easy ways to launch the local urls
- add shortcuts to the @vercel preview url, or Codex/CCode sessions that created it, and shortcuts to resume in my terminal of choice
- charts to see spikes (of course)
Open source, totally free
a lot of you guys really loved parrot.
and it's no wonder, bc why pay for wispr flow when it should be free?
thousands of you freed yourselves from that unnecessary subscription already.
thousands more deserve to do the same, and we are still a long ways from the general awakening that such software is now free and abundant.
so today, i'm releasing an app that even your grandmother could install. just drag it into your application folder.
this release also adds:
- multilingual support: for all my global friends out there
- choose your hotkey: fn by default
- faster transcription: up to 20% faster now
as always, completely free.
send to grandma. send to gramps.
let them all enjoy this new freedom from lame subscriptions.
