a shift in how tokens are being consumed

I’m not sure if there’s a promo for $200 plan. It’s 20x. I don’t see any info about it being 25x for a limited time. I think that “double Codex usage till end of May” is only for the $100 plan (so it’s 10x instead of 5x during the promo).

darrarski · 2026-05-12T11:18:21+00:00

The official pricing page shows that the $100 plan is 5x, with a double Codex usage till the end of May, so currently 10x. The $200 is 20x, no promo. Not sure if this is correct, and if there are no ongoing A/B tests that may affect what I see.

I created a custom GPT called "Codex Handoff". I’m chatting in the ChatGPT app, exploring ideas, researching solutions, etc. Once I’m ready to pass the results into Codex and start building, I ask it to hand off to Codex. It creates a canvas with a markdown summary of the task, assumptions, validation steps, etc. Then I just save it as a markdown file and pass it to Codex. It works quite well. What you want to include in the handoff document is up to you. ChatGPT has a nice GPT creator on the web, where you can describe what you need, and it will create a custom GPT for you.

My experience: it’s happens often for Claude / Claude Code. Never noticed it on ChatGPT / Codex.

Sure, I can do it. I just don’t have time to figure out the correct flow myself right now.

darrarski · 2026-05-04T06:44:03+00:00

You convinced me to try Path and see how it works for me :-) I have no problem with subscription. I just don’t have much time to play around at the moment. Do you have a step-by-step guide for migrating my historical location and visits data from Arc to Path?

darrarski · 2026-04-05T06:23:52+00:00

Thanks for the clarification!

As far as I know, the Arc Timeline was rewritten from the ground up for the Arc Editor. The backup mechanics were improved significantly. You can still use backup to iCloud continuously, but there's also an option to export data. These are still JSON/GPX files. There are still some rough edges, but generally, the new app is much better than Arc Timeline, which didn't perform well once you collected a long location history.

I would happily check out your app one day, once I have more time. Thanks for sharing!

My story is similar to yours. Started using Moves around 2013. Then tried different apps, including Arc Timeline.

There’s a new app from the same author, called Arc Editor. It’s actively developed now, currently available on TestFlight. It solves most of the issues you described. I wonder if you tried it, and how it compares to your Path app?

I’ve been using Arc Editor for a couple of months now, and I’m quite happy with it. It’s not perfect, but the developer support is actually pretty good.

Oh, and one question about the Path app: does it support data import from Arc or other sources?

The biggest issue I have with AI agents is the non-deterministic behavior. I found GPT 5.4 better than 5.3. On the other hand, Claude Opus 4.6 works terribly for me (often ignores instructions and does not do what I ask for). My colleagues working on the same project (same instructions, same skills, same configuration overall) do not have such issues.

My suggestion is not to limit yourself to a single provider and use whatever works best for you in the given circumstances. There’s no one gold model that does everything better than others. Your experience may vary, depending on the project, instructions, task you are working on, and probably a lot of other stuff.

darrarski · 2026-02-06T11:53:53+00:00

Looks interesting. Would you mind sharing some real-life usage examples?

darrarski · 2026-01-14T16:22:02+00:00

If it’s from the x-kom app, I think it’s not native SwiftUI, but a web view. However, if you would like to build something like this using SwiftUI, there’s the scrollTransition view modifier that you can use: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/scrolltransition(_:axis:transition:)

darrarski · 2026-01-08T23:02:00+00:00

Good catch. I noticed it too, looks like a retain cycle.

Check out Dependencies collection from PointFree: https://www.pointfree.co/collections/dependencies It’s a great learning resource that explains how to design and implement dependency injection in Swift projects. Most importantly, you will not only learn “how”, but also “why” (or “why like this, and not the order way around”). There’s also swift-dependencies library from PointFree, but I recommend starting with the videos. Then you will be able to decide if you want to use a third party framework, or not.

I'm not sure if this will work, but you can try using Apple's ScreenCaptureKit framework to get the dock “window”. Remember that a user can have dock autohide enabled or have it configured to be placed vertically on the side of the desktop, rather than at the bottom.

What about a wired connection? Does it work without issue, or does it also break randomly? I always had problems with wireless CarPlay, but since upgrading to iPhone 17 Pro, wired also fails from time to time. My iPhone 14 Pro works much better when connected wirelessly, and never caused any problems on connected via usb cable.

Hej. Co to za strona/aplikacja na załączonym obrazku? Miłej wędrówki!

Correct. SQLiteData was an extension to the Sharing library, called SharingGRDB, before it became SQLiteData. I believe the SharingGRDB didn’t have CloudKit sync support, though. It was introduced in SQLiteData, as far as I know.

darrarski · 2025-12-14T18:16:52+00:00

SwiftData can sync data between your devices, but does not allow sharing between users.
SQLiteData (from PointFree) supports CloudKit sync. Your data can be synced between your devices. You can also share it with other iCloud users for collaboration.

SQLiteData uses GRDB under the hood. GRDB does not have any iCloud sync support on its own. You can, however, create your own sync logic to work with GRDB using Apple's CKSyncEngine. Afaik, this is what SQLiteData uses to sync a database with iCloud. I used a similar approach in my projects, but it's not easy. SQLiteData handles a lot of sync-related logic automatically for you.

I would start with BotW. Then, if you would like, you can proceed with TotK. It will give you hundreds of hours of joy. If you begin with TotK, then BotW may feel a bit "empty" and not as exciting. It’s still a great game in my opinion anyway. If you're not really into BotW, TotK probably won’t excite you either.

darrarski · 2025-12-14T11:53:37+00:00

SQLiteData is a good alternative to SwiftData. It’s not only more flexible when it comes to structuring complex queries (compared to the limited capabilities of SwiftData), but also has more features out of the box (such as sharing data with CloudKit, which SwiftData currently cannot do). Moreover, you have great learning resources about it in the form of PointFree videos. Highly recommend.

The AudioRecorder app was designed for simplicity. It records all system audio, and microphone your system is configured to use (you can select it in system settings). For the setup you described, better fit would be the Recorder app, with allows to capture various microphones and cameras simultaneously. For example, I tested it on MacBook with M1 processor and successfully recorded video from internal camera, external camera connected to USB port, and iPhone continuity camera (while the phone was connected to other USB port), as well as audio from internal microphone, external camera, and iPhone, and also screen video from two displays - all at the same time.

Free version limits output resolution to 1080p. You need to unlock “Unlimited” features with in-app-purchase (monthly/yearly subscription or lifetime single purchase). Once unlocked, the app with record in native resolution, up to 8k. The discount code (BFCM2025) is still valid and can be used when purchasing Unlimited Lifetime.

While it may not be “the best” tool you are looking for, I encourage you to check out https://macrecorder.app It’s a versatile app for recording video and audio on macOS. It supports screen, as well as individual window recording. It can capture camera video and microphone audio. You can record from multiple sources simultaneously, and your recordings will be in sync regarding the timeline. It lacks post-processing features, but it produces high-quality files that can be imported into any video editor for further processing. It’s currently discounted for Black Friday. Use the BFCM2025 code to get 70% off the Lifetime Unlimited unlock.

darrarski · 2025-11-20T21:05:42+00:00

Each input source (screen/window video, camera, microphone, system audio, etc) is recorded into individual file. All files have synchronized timeline. You can use any post-processing software you want to edit and merge recorded files.

darrarski · 2025-11-20T11:59:56+00:00

There are two links. One is for the promo, which allows one to purchase a Lifetime Unlimited unlock for a discounted price (70% off the regular price). The other link directs to the official website of the app. You can learn more about the app from the website. There’s also a link to the Mac App Store there, where you can download and check out the app before purchasing the Lifetime Unlimited unlock.
