Essayist was mentioned in Apple’s Newsroom article about Foundation Models for its ability to create references from PDFs, alongside so many fantastic apps. We’re very happy with this feature, which serves as a foundation for much more to come. www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

Finalist 3 is out after nine months of coding 😅 It's a daily planner that manages your calendars and reminders better than your Reminders app. I'm running a crazy launch special: get a lifetime license for $5 (five!) dollars

Thank you Apple for a fantastic WWDC! And thank you so much for showcasing Essayist in a STATE OF THE UNION slide!! 🤯🤯🤯 It was an incredible experience and so inspiring!

Finally! This took a bit longer than expected, but we’re really happy with the result.

Thanks to @essayist.app new Title Page Editor, we will officially support APA Professional, complete with Author Note. We’re also expanding support for Chicago and Turabian styles — both will support notes and author-date formats. All part of our next update, launching April 30th, 2025.

@essayist.app is about to get more flexible! You’ll soon be able to customize title pages, headers & footers, and manage sections with ease — giving you more control over your documents than ever before. And there’s more. We’re on track for an April 30th release.

Thrilled to spot Essayist’s app icon in the iPhone 16e announcement yesterday! Big thanks to Apple 🙏 We are fully focused on a significant update and look forward to sharing more details soon.

Is there any way to replicate the built-in Drag-and-Drop behaviour of List, where I can tap on items to add them to the current Drag after a drag has started (iOS, #SwiftUI)? Related to this: is there any way to get notified about a drag being started?

Semi-regular plea to devs: please have press kits. I’m writing end of year round-ups and it does make things ever so much easier when I can just grab an image and whack it in a feature. (A plain image – not one baked into an iPhone or with lots of writing over it.)

Had a similar approach with the Paper app—in-app settings to adjust every aspect (positions, lighting, shadows), state buttons to test transitions, and a way to send all values off to my team. Only way to dial in so many interdependent values and get things just right. (Paper, 2012)

I started a starter pack specifically for indie apps available on Apple platforms. Let me know if you have an indie app account that you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/HD3MfQF
