I’ve brought my apps together under a new home: Microapps Studio.
MicroNotch, Kordra, Sashiko Grid and what comes next.
The individual app sites are staying. This is where the whole collection lives.
I’ll keep sharing what I’m building here.

Hold Fn. Speak. Release to insert.
MicroVoice transcribes English on your Mac. Code mode keeps supported AI coding sessions and input requests in view.
A 60-second look at both in MicroNotch:

macOS 26+. Local model download required.

MicroVoice just got faster in MicroNotch.
Short or long dictation now reuses the same prepared on-device engine.
You’ll also see:
🟠 Orange while listening
🔵 Cyan while transcribing
✋ A fix for quick Fn taps when using hands-free dictation
100% on your Mac. Update in the app

I launched @micronotch 5 days ago with 359 followers. Today there are 404 of you.
The best part hasn’t been the number. It’s the conversations with people building Mac apps, local AI tools and indie products.
So, what are you building?
Tell me below. I’d love to follow along.
@asaridarr @micronotch Clipboard history, files, music controls, on-device dictation (hold Fn), and code mode for Claude Code/Codex/Cursor sessions that need you. 20+ tools in the notch, works on external displays too. 3-day trial at micronotch.app
Hold Fn. Say your piece. Let go.
MicroVoice transcribes on your Mac and can paste the words into the app you're using.
English for now. Needs a model download of about 345 MB. No more Subs

Everyone's building apps to run more AI agents at once.
Nobody's building the bit that tells you which one is stuck waiting on you.
I run 3-4 Codex Code sessions at a time. The bottleneck was never starting them. It was knowing when to come back.
So I built that into my Mac's notch. It watches, you don't have to.
Someone asked which replies actually grew my account after launching @micronotch.
Not "great post". Not emojis.
The ones where I answered a real question or shared something I learned building it.
Useful beats fast. Small accounts, try it for a week.
Shipped MicroNotch 1.1.0 🚀
Smaller panels. Clearer settings.
Settings now live in their own resizable window with a sidebar. Compact notch panels, activity bubbles (so music stays in place), and 8 interface languages.
Still shipping. Lifetime licence = lifetime updates.

Even with a cold, it will not defeat my productivity. Beanie, Jumper, Lemon and Honey drink and carry on!

Day 5 of MicroNotch. The most asked question under my replies post: did 309 replies turn into downloads?
Honest answer: some. I can see installs from X, and sales bumped on my other apps too, but I can't trace one reply to one install yet.
Tagged links next. @micronotch
I just launched MicroNotch on @launchesapp: Notch toolkit with local dictation for Mac users launches.app/p/micronotch
Working on unifying all my apps under one umbrella brand with a new site to boot. I will keep main sites live for the apps themselves, but will be merging my personal portfolio under a new identity.
Never a days rest lol

No ads. No big audience. I just replied to everyone.
Small accounts: the replies are the growth hack.
Then vs now ☕
Missing mornings at Bar Kalifornia in Jandía ☀️ Tonight it's my garden in Nottingham, a cuppa and a bit of quiet after a big launch week. Slightly different weather, same idea 😅
Where do you go to switch off?
Shipped MicroNotch 1.0.3 today 🚀
I kept losing time hunting for the Codex window that was waiting on me, so now you can answer it straight from the notch. Pick an option or type a reply, and it goes right back to the conversation.
4 days since launch, still shipping. Lifetime licence means lifetime updates.
