It's been about a week since Tunelapse launched on the App Store.
One thing I've learned: Building the app was the easy part. Getting people to discover it is the real challenge. Still, seeing complete strangers download something I built has been an incredible feeling.🚀

[Steve @Steve_D_T]

We are live and you're officially invited to see what's new. Download on the App Store today.

A year of hard work, lots and lots of revisions and a tremendous amount of help from my beta testers, and now we're live!

We're live!
Tunelapse creates perfectly timed music + podcast experiences that fit the time you actually have.
No dead air. No cut-off songs.
Thank you beta testers!!

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

🚀 It's official!
After months of building, testing, and refining, Tunelapse is now live on the App Store!

Huge thanks to everyone who beta tested and helped shape the app.

@JoannaStern Is everything back? Projects and Pinned convos?

[Steve @Steve_D_T]

@MacRumors Financing a phone through Verizon and expecting them to give you an unlocked phone was always ridiculous. And AT&T has always been this way regardless. Anyway, buy your phones from Apple.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Some news: CommuteVibe is now Tunelapse. 🎧

Same app, same perfectly-timed audio for your drive — a name with room to grow. And we're just getting started.

Beta open now (Works with Apple Music)

@JoannaStern Totally destroyed it. Not to mention all of my Pinned conversations and Projects are totally gone now. Unless you use the website….

[Steve @Steve_D_T]

The new ChatGPT app on Mac is a disaster. @OpenAI you can't install the same app side-by-side... What happened to all of my Pinned chats and Projects? Now they're only available on the web??

@CBSMornings You mean this doesn't just happen to EV's??

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Building CarPlay support for CommuteVibe hit different. Your commute is basically the only time you're forced to just listen — no skipping to your phone. So the queue has to be right the first time. That's the whole bet: last song ends as you pull in.

Apple's adding a new mini-player + Siri AI to CarPlay in iOS 27. Better controls for your drive.But your car still doesn't know how long your drive is. CommuteVibe builds a queue sized to your exact commute. Beta's open — drop a 🚗 for a TestFlight invite.

Current status:
✅ Week 4 of TestFlight
✅ CarPlay support
✅ Beta feedback rolling in
Every week the app gets a little smarter.
Getting closer.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Most audio apps ask:

“What do you want to listen to?”

CommuteVibe asks:

“How long is your drive?”

Turns out that’s a much more interesting question.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Week 4 of TestFlight.
One thing I’ve learned as an indie developer:
The first version of your app is built from your ideas.
The next version is built from your users’ ideas.

CommuteVibe is getting better because people keep telling me how they actually commute.

Confession:

I’ve definitely driven around the block once more just to finish a podcast episode.

Please tell me I’m not the only one.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Current status:

✅ Week 3 of TestFlight
✅ CarPlay support live
✅ Real user feedback rolling in
Getting closer every week.

Most audio apps ask:

“What do you want to listen to?”

CommuteVibe asks:

“How long is your drive?”

That one question changes everything.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

One of the coolest milestones so far:

Seeing CommuteVibe running on CarPlay for the first time.

That was the moment it stopped feeling like a side project and started feeling like a real product.
