The 2018 Mac Mini – Marco.org
Watch the video review I hardly ever think about my Mac Mini, but it serves a vital role for my family as our home-theater mixer, Plex server, ScanSnap server, Apple Photos backup, and Backblaze host for our NAS.1 Almost every port on the back is in use, and it runs 24/7, reliably, in total silence. Until last week, I thought it would be the last Mac Mini that Apple ever made. And when rumors star
Overcast 5: Watch, Siri, search, and redesign! – Marco.org
I apologize for the low battery level. Busy day. It all started with the watchOS volume widget. You see, Overcast’s previous Apple Watch app really sucked. I did my best with the capabilities of watchOS 1–4, but I couldn’t give people what they really wanted: Standalone podcast playback on the Apple Watch without an iPhone. I briefly offered it through some bad hacks, but had to remove it. Volume
Low Power Mode on the Mac – Marco.org
Laptop battery life is decreasingly relevant to me as more airplanes offer power outlets. But sometimes you lose that lottery, as I did on my latest 8-hour daytime flight. Apple’s “Up to 10 hours” claim doesn’t apply to my work,1 which is usually a mix of Xcode, web browsing, and social time-wasting, so I knew I’d have to seriously conserve power. Sometimes, you just need Low Power Mode: the switc

February 22, 2018 ∞https://marco.org/2018/02/22/your-app-was-copied App developers sometimes ask me what they should do when their features, designs, or entire apps are copied by competitors. Legally, there’s not a lot you can do about it: Copyright protects your icon, images, other creative resources, and source code.

May 20, 2013 ∞https://marco.org/2013/05/20/one-person-product In 2006, I moved to New York and started working for David Karp doing web development for various media companies. That fall, in a brief gap before starting a new client, David said that we were going to make a prototype of an idea he’d had for a while. He h

November 14, 2017 ∞https://marco.org/2017/11/14/best-laptop-ever Apple has made many great laptops, but the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro (2012–2015) is the epitome of usefulness, elegance, practicality, and power for an overall package that still hasn’t been (and may never be) surpassed. Introduced in 2012, less than a y
The impossible dream of USB-C – Marco.org
I’m Marco Arment: a programmer, writer, podcaster, geek, and coffee enthusiast. October 14, 2017 ∞https://marco.org/2017/10/14/impossible-dream-of-usb-c I love the idea of USB-C: one port and one cable that can replace all other ports and cables. It sounds so simple, straightforward, and unified. In practice, it’s not even close. USB-C normally transfers data by the USB protocol, but it also suppo
What we need from Apple to make standalone Apple Watch podcast apps – Marco.org

September 24, 2017 ∞https://marco.org/2017/09/24/what-watch-podcast-apps-need The Apple Watch desperately needs standalone podcast playback, especially with the LTE-equipped Series 3, which was designed specifically for exercising without an iPhone. Believe me, I’ve tried. But limitations in watchOS 4 make it impossibl

I’m Marco Arment: a programmer, writer, podcaster, geek, and coffee enthusiast. August 10, 2017 ∞https://marco.org/2017/08/10/removed-send-to-watch I’ve spent many months of development on Overcast’s Apple Watch app, especially implementing standalone “Send to Watch” playback. Unfortunately, I now need to remove the “Send to Watch” feature. I’m sorry to the people who used it. While there weren’t
