something i’ve been holding back for a while. two years ago, one of my biggest dreams came true: i got to work on interfaces for a movie starring Chris Pratt. together with Alex Bystrov, Slava Yaremenko and Misha Katz we designed Mercy OS, a fictional AI judge, for the film Mercy (2026).

okay, week 2, let's go. here's everything new in Atlas v1.2: → ⌘K menu (for quick navigation between collections, moving items around, and more) → folders! you can now create folders, move folders, move collections into folders, rearrange folders, group, ungroup, whatever (⌘+⌥+⇧+N or file → new folder) → save videos from X. just copy a link with video and paste to any collection. yep, just like that, works like magic, keeps the original post URL in inspector.

one thing i’ve learned from building productivity apps is that everyone’s brain works differently. elements that motivate some people can distract others. that’s why, as we add more features to Joi Planner, we make sure you can mix and match features in a way that works for you.

a few hours before the app release, i realized we didn’t have a landing page because i had been pushing that task further down my to-do list for weeks. so, i had less than an hour to quickly pull something together (i made it, thanks to the magic of Framer) what would you improve here?

eagle is too clunky, mymind is too ugly, arena is too slow, freeform is too buggy, figjam is too web, cosmos is almost perfect, but not local. all i needed was apple photos app, but for collecting references. so i made one. it's native, it's local, and it's blazing fast.

late friday news: atlas will be released on july 9. it’s a fast, native replacement for eagle (or finder, if you’re really old) for designers and content creators. pre-orders are now open with 50% off. macOS only.

since i use obsidian pretty much for anything, including todos and collecting links, i needed a quick way to append any text to existing notes. so, meet markie. i'm too lazy to make a proper intro video, so here's a screen recording with a groovy jazz beat.

started learning dutch a couple of weeks ago, and couldn't find a well-designed app for flashcards to memorize new words. well, had to make my own one.

a few people asked if this is the real app. well, the short answer is no, it's not. the long answer: last year, Andrei Ildiakov and I were messing around with the idea of a social app with short-form updates for small groups of friends. we designed and prototyped a few proofs of concept, but eventually decided to move on to other projects for now. however, if this idea clicks (no pun intended) with you, and you know a thing or two about launching social apps (or your name starts with Nikita Bier) hit me up. →

today Atlas celebrates it's first anniversary (one day old) so naturally, it's time for v1.1 → the #1 request: play videos & gifs right in the grid (toggle it on in settings) → full svg + pdf support (super handy for storing logos and icons) → ⌘-scroll to zoom (great if you're on a mouse + generally app now is way more stable with a mouse) → like badges on thumbnails (hide-able in settings for a cleaner look) → space to open (macos quick look style, also works on hover) → pan the canvas like figma (space + drag, or middle mouse button) → quick-like straight from the grid with ⌥-click → reduced motion (if the bouncy animations are too much) → big performance boost for power users (tested on a 50K item library) and many more. most of these improvements were based on feature requests and feedback from the app. please keep them coming. i’ve made the mistake of not listening to users enough in the past, trying things differently this time. download → (or use atlas — check for updates from the app's menu)

honestly, at this point i think i enjoy working on macOS apps more than on iOS. ✅ proof of concept (1 day) ✅ logic + UI (3 days) ⏳ publish to testflight (in progress) who wants to test it first? → (coming soon)

i know i’m supposed to be working on the Joi Planner mac app, but every weekend i challenge myself to build a side project: something small that can be done in a day or two. mostly for fun, sometimes to wrap my head around a new topic or technology. yet, i never end up sharing anything. so in the spirit of change, i’m putting this one out there. meet Ambie Journal (name pending), an app for daily self-expression through freewriting, that only allows you to create one note per day (just like a paper journal would). no cloud storage, no markdown, no spell check, no AI, no images, just text. everything is stored locally in .txt format. should i release it?
