The only reason I want an openclaw setup is just so I can send x posts to my kindle 😅

I love that this a native Mac app
Benji Taylor@benjitaylor
Readout is a fully native macOS app I’ve been building for myself. It provides a real-time overview of your dev environment and Claude Code config. All local, no account required. It's still very much a beta, but now available to try: readout.org

I’m hate that I can’t get used to see my diffs or code changes in the terminal… I’m so used to see my code in Xcode and its diff views ..

Take action on your X BOOKMARKS.
You see a lot of new things everyday, but only 20% are valuable, and of that 20% of the 20% are great ideas.
This is the UNLOCK you need to sort through the noise to find that KILLER IDEA.

Some professional news: I decided to take March off for Pokémon Pokopia and Crimson Desert, while focusing fully on App Store Connect CLI
Let's see what the future holds for me after March

Some professional news: I have been working for two months as an iOS engineer (Claude Code prompt engineer?) at a stealth startup, making the most out of Apple's Foundation Models!
English
I added (Claude) App intents for Widgets and spotlight actions for an app with two prompts in 5 minutes. I think @mattcassinelli would be proud 😆 … now more than ever is super easy to have them on your app.

@Jonathanff It’s just a straight dictation tool on the Mac into the app
English
I used the Mac app to dictate multiple projects this weekend.
My favorite is just rambling on an idea and having an agent go build it.
Will be great to capture on the go now too.
Monologue@usemonologue
Monologue for iOS is here. You talk 3x faster than you type. Prompts to Claude. Brain dumps to Notion. Grocery lists. Midnight epiphanies. First drafts that sound like you. Now in your pocket. Follow, like, RT—50 annual subscriptions are up for grabs.
English
@mattcassinelli So, talk to monologue then copy paste to agent?
English
@mattcassinelli Im confused I thought it was only iOS, even checked the website and shows only iOS app…
English
The Dictate button should be an App Intent and any third-party app should have native access to the dictation slot.
Apple should add this in iOS 27.

@drewcoffman I’ve Been thinking a lot about doing a custom firmware for the steink that focuses not only in functionality but in good UI… just a shower thought 💭
English
it’s wild that no one has made a truly beautiful ereader
we put so much design effort into phones, headphones, even thermostats, but the devices for reading all look the same
English
I wish I didn't need an app to do this...I mean I would love to just talk to Siri and just works tbh...
I started using Monologue and looks cool but I'm not sure if the friction of a 3rd party app would survive the hype personally.

I was excited to try Openclaw during the weekend and spend several hours troubleshooting dumb issues (some on my end) I ended up frustrated trying to do simple task… will give another shot later… I don’t have much time to waste …

@jacobtechtavern I might be missing something but isn’t xcodebuild Cli can be used by te agent to build and run test ?
English
One of the most critical missing links in an AI workflow, especially on iOS, is a way for the agent to autonomously verify its work. You can verify via compiles, running unit tests, or manually on the simulator.
Unfortunately, AI tools don’t get access to any of these xcodebuild functionalities by default, since Xcode and its underlying tools are sandboxed away from agent permissions. That’s where XcodeBuildMCP (by camsoft2000) comes in: it enables agents to interact with Xcode tools, including compiling your code, testing, and even interacting with features in the simulator (though recently agents have learned to at least compile).

Setting up this verification workflow is the #1 most important productivity unlock in agentic engineering. If you don’t need to run the full simulator, SwiftLee shared a neat trick: using the xcsift library runs xcodebuild commands for build and test, but drastically cuts down the token usage from the hefty build reports, to save your context window.
And, naturally, I have to mention the biggest, hot-off-the-press-the-paper-is-still-warm announcement: Xcode 26.3 and agentic coding.

Xcode 26.3 introduces its own first-party MCP support for verification, as well as introducing a support for Claude Code and Codex agents directly inside the GUI. I can only hope their harness doesn’t suck. You can set up the MCP for any agent using these docs.

Sometimes.. I just feel like we are doing a handover to the robots... lol

This reminded me of when @fromjrtosr told me that a version of Xcode was built with Xcode…. In 2012 .. time flies…
Andrew Ambrosino@ajambrosino
Today, we’re introducing the Codex app, our flagship Codex experience. Work on multiple things in parallel, extend Codex with skills, and automate repetitive tasks. The most exciting part for us has been using the app to build itself. This is the first of many new things coming to Codex– more to come.
English
@mattcassinelli @FloWritesCode I’m guessing (hoping) Siri will do that orchestration and even “transformation” of data
English
I can as a user, you cannot as a developer. If you provide your on-screen entities and someone asks Siri about it, it can transfer to any other intent that accepts that content type (or a subtype).
You can’t randomly pull in my personal context, but I can and it works across all my apps.

So many hooks for AI that people think Apple hasn't thought about are already implemented within App Intents: x.com/mattcassinelli…
Matthew Cassinelli@mattcassinelli
@Dimillian Universal Links in App Intents could enable AI "browsing" across all apps and websites from Apple. All just identifiers and URLS. Actions are linkable too.
English
At this point… does it even matter?
