As we reach the end of 2019, we take a look back at our favourite Apple releases and products from this year.

Dave Nott is struggling to find a groove with indie app development.

The great wait is over. Dave Nott has his 16" MacBook, and strangely, has been spending rather a lot of time with it booted into Windows. Waiting For Review Dave Wood Dave Nott Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

Dave Nott has been off on a side quest these last few weeks. We discuss what he's been up to, and how easy it is to fall down a rabbit hole.

After months of waiting, and a further two weeks of agonising over specs, Dave Nott has finally ordered the 16" MacBook Pro. We talk about Dave's build to order choices, and his reasonings, which got us to thinking about where things might be going for the Mac... Join us for some Mac and Mac App store discussion. * Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribut...

In anticipation of this week's 16" MBP announcement we fall into a discussion of hardware and some end of year purchases.

Dave Wood explains the new screenshot automation process for his video mixing app, GoVJ.

What do our desktop setups and configurations look like? One of us is thinking ahead for a new MacBook Pro... Meanwhile, Dave Nott has accidentally fallen into making a Mac app, thanks to Catalyst. Side by side with AppKit and UIKit rendered versions of the same app, Dave wonders what makes a Mac app? Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

A single leaked image about the 16" and we're straight into reading the tea leaves for the new MacBook Pro. It's not quite looking like the machine Dave Nott has pined for, but the predictions are still fuzzy as we record. Dave Nott has a wobble with his indie development plans and is second guessing which project he should pick up with the time he has. We get into approaches for getting an idea o...

macOS Catalina is here, which means Catalyst (formerly known as Marzipan) is here! We discuss Catalyst, what it means for the platform and how it may impact how we build apps. Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

While Dave Nott awaits announcements of new Macbook Pro hardware, he's getting deeper into his Raspberry Pi. His commandline expertise is increasing, and this will only pay him back when he's back on the tools for his upcoming iOS app. Meanwhile, Dave Wood is getting back into marketing mode, putting together a new landing page for version 2.0 of his app GoVJ.

In a special episode, our guests are Heidi and Ish, creators of Capsicum App and more. Capsicum is a beautiful daily planner app, chock full of features and a unique design.

Dave Nott installs Catalina on his unsupported Mac to dig into Xcode 11 and Swift UI... Meanwhile we've a bit of an announcement to make.

Until then, you can reach us at our Slack channel, and catch up with us on Twitter. We'd like to give a huge thanks to...

After realising we have little to no plan for this weeks show, we handily remember that we got new MacBooks last week - phew! We discuss the new 13" MacBook Pro, the rather interesting 1.4Ghz CPU that sits within it and reflect a little on the 12" MacBook.

We start the show with discussion of random videos online and deep fakes, before getting into the process of rebooting development on an indie app. Dave Nott's scheduled return to indie development later this year leads us to wondering, what might an ideal indie balance be like, and might full-time, actually be a bad thing?

Jony Ive is leaving Apple, and we reflect on this from a human point of view - what might it have felt like in his shoes? Dave Nott is looking forwards to a 16" Macbook Pro, with the latest rumours doing nothing to dissuade him from dreaming big! Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

One of us has a leaky roof and a poorly car, the other is getting ready to ship an update to AirSynth, and we both have a good rant about real free trials and upgrade pricing on the App Store. AirSynth Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

This week, we go all over the map as we discuss how useful we find our Apple Watches, why Apple should make a consumer level monitor, and how Swift UI changes everything we do. Some fairly big changes are on the horizon for Dave Nott, so we dive into what's going to happen. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)
