how are you using AI to learn? i feel like i'm losing something with the gained efficiency.

Just ask it to teach you. The hard part is to figure out when to slow down and pay attention. Still learning that myself

Not a question, but Moves is a fantastic app, it's the only WM I use on my Mac and I don't know what I would do without it, thank you so much for making it. Also wanted to let others know that Excel/Telegram seem to work fine for me, I think sometimes it doesn't work because of the shortcut used. I use Cmd+Ctrl to move and Opt+Ctrl to resize and this seems to have solved my problems with it

We recently tried fixing it by falling back to active window. Maybe that's why it's working for you now

Will Tuna be released on homebrew?

... it is

brew install mikker/tuna

How can we contact you for support on Tuna?

support at tunaformac dot com or the Discord

Curious what made you get multiple domains like brainbow.studio, brnbw.com, and this site. I'm new to this space and thought that was neat, but not sure what's the purpose there. Is it just because it's cool?

Oh I have and have had soooo many domains. So what might look fancy is just chaos + time.

whats you're go to mac app coding setup?

Codex and Claude. It might be over for Xcode

Hey, how far do you think you could throw a grape?

About 3/4ths the depth of BREMEN as viewed from the stage

I've alway been very inspired by the way you build products. It seems like the right way to build. Trying to do something like it myself.

Any advice specifically for logo design? I think you've nailed yours :)

Logos are hard. Simplify then simplify some more. Like with anything: practice.

You need to make a lot of bad logos before you start making decent ones so get cracking on those bad ones.

any source for project ideas? i feel like i can build anything but i really do have anything in my mind lol

Just build one. Or copy something existing. Inspiration will hit you but it has to find you working.

Hey Mikkel!
Just downloaded the Moves App and I love it. Thanks for your work. But the ignore list is not working properly. I've added Photoshop/Illustrator because I need the shortcuts there but I still move the Apps. They don't get ignored. I'm on Tahoe. Do you have any tips or is this a common problem?
Thanks again!
Best regards
Julian

This should be fixed 🤞

Any advice you'd give for someone wanting to start their own software business? I have good product sense and like to think I'm good at building things of quality, but the increasingly terrible state of the software industry makes me worry that attention to detail is not something valued in the current environment...

More need than ever.

When everyone can build, the good builders stand out.

The only and best advice I will give you is go. You'll have to fake it until you make it. And then keep faking it. It never gets easy, you just go faster.

Hey! Any chance Leader Key will have a feature for pasting text?
Incredible app btw!

Tuna has this!

you're the weirdest angel i've seen today, may your days be the brightest

👼

Hello! This is really stupid of me, but i can't figure out how to access the 'actions' pane in Tuna (the verb as you called it). Also, it would be really appreciated if you used something like KeyCastr while making videos, it would really help some of us out.

tab!

Advice on managing time for personal projects with the office(22)?

Every little moment counts. Stop watching Netflix and TV shows and you'll have time.

What phone are you using? If iPhone - have you considered using android?

Do you use smartwatch?

iPhone since 2009. Never seriously considered Android but I have tried Android phones. I like the convenience of Apple ecosystem.

Used to use an Apple Watch but now I only do when I'm running or skiing. Dumb watches are better.

Hi, is there a fix for Moves not allowing me to resize Excel ?

Nope.

Hi! What template are you using for Obsidian? Maybe a tour of your setup?

Obsidian tour? I'm very normie (by choice) in Obsidian. I think this is the Minimal Theme with macOS color scheme.

Hey, what is the decorative little light on the shelf in the background of your Aerospace and Leader Key video? Thanks ;)

It's an Aputure Mini facing upwards. So actually not that decorative on its own 😅

Would you mind sharing your blueprint wallpaper? It looks great!

My friend Rasmus made it – get it via his website

Hey mikker, I’ve been using LeaderKey, which is a really cool app! But lately, it hasn’t been working—it always shows ‘ConfigError’ when I try to use it. I wasn’t sure how to report this bug or ask for help, so I had to post this here. Would love to know if there’s a fix. Thanks!

GitHub is the best place for issues like this. I suggest backing up your config file, then deleting it to start over.

Just wanted to say that I love LeaderKey very much ♥️

❤️

moves are so lagging with some apps

Yes, Tahoe made it even worse. Sorry, there's no better api than the one I'm (hackishly) using

What does this website do

It's here to confuse low iq people

Howdy! Love Moves.
Is there any potential to fix Excel in a future release? I assume Microsoft is using some strange window method. Moves is only able to move and resize it from the toolbars.

Can't, sorry.

What's your desk setup in your YouTube videos. What equipment do you use

I have a /uses page but it's not updated. I will!

Hi! Really like LeaderKey and how you approach making videos for it. Did you know that "connoisseur" is misspelled on your /apps page? 🤓

Thank you!

For the person asking about making the navbar transparent: use Ice (https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice)

@Mikkel: is it possible to make my own LeaderKey theme?

Ice is good 👍 Yes, you'll have to fork the app and make a PR but I love themes.

For "Leader Key" - before I install it - I was wondering if it's possible to:
* cmd + t (shows Terminal iTerm)
* c,d + t 1 (opens Terminal and ssh's to server 1)

I'm sure AppleScript can launch iTerm then run commands. Ask ai to help you build it.

what's your top 3 claude code tips?

For any agent, current best tips:

1. Spend more time planning. Make it ask you questions to align on approach.
2. Give it a way to check its work. Unit tests, integration tests, Playwright MCP with browser access. Basically, if it can read the errors by itself it'll go longer without asking you.
3. Lean in. Use them a lot and you'll learn your own ways. Like with anything it takes practice.

Leaderkey for windows?

Nope, not me at least

Hi! Somehow I've banished Moves from my menubar, and I've tried everything to get it back, or at least reach the preferences window. It may have shown me a message before I banished it, but I have since forgotten how to forgive the app of its sins. The FAQ seems not to mention my predicament 😓

Here are some things to try

What is wrong with you?

good q

Hey there! Thrilled to found you cause I've been very enjoying your content, keep on the good work!
And I have one question regarding your website, how did you make it?

It's Next.js. React, TailwindCSS. Sqlite db for the AMA, static files for posts.

Leaderkey app for macos, is it available for previous versions of Macos...

I forget what the minimum version is but basically my stance is that Leader Key is free and open source and I'm not going to be held back by backwards compatibility. Onwards.

Thank you for the Leader app. I just installed it and it made navigating multiple VS Code windows so much more easier. I'm yet to use it to it's full potential.

What did you use to build your AMA section on your website? Looks interesting

The whole website is Next.js. It's good. I wish it was Rails but this will do for now

Is this still on? Super cool idea :)

Have a nice day!

It is!

What’s your biggest source of income?

Currently: my job

Can you give me random life advice like a fortune cookie?

Try. You can do it, but you have to try.

beginning.new

Are you ready for one?

How did you slap my ass work from across the interwebs? I felt it spiritually (/jk nice website).

You deserved it, you rascal

does it jiggle?

it folds

Is the misspelling of connoisseur in the Apps page intentional?

Haha, no. It was not.

thanks for all of your hard work. leaderkey has been one of the best things i've ever added to my mac, can't express how helpful its been. what's the best way to support you? kofi, github sponsor, etc.

❤️ I'd love subs, likes, GH sponsors.

please leaderkey for windows?

Sorry, can't. Happy to link to it if someone ever does it.

Hi there! I tried to use Sprinkles to apply local polyfill. E.g. safari on macos Catalina doesn't support `Intl.ListFormat`, but some sites require it, but have no polyfill. So I can overwrite server response locally using Safari dev tools and add polyfill there. But in some cases its hard. So I tried to use Sprinkles, but without luck. Looks like it adds polyfill too late — site js crashes earlier.
Is it possible to fix?

Probably not? Not sure. Sounds like something you could do in a custom extension.

Hello!
I love your Moves.app - I've been using Zooom2 since time immemorial, and like that you took the time to write something modern! It works great, with the single exception of the mac store Telegram.app, unless I have my pointer on the title bar at the top - any idea why that might be?
Thank you for an awesome bit of software!
anonymouse, erhm, touchpad

Thanks! Yes, Telegram does something weird to their Window so it doesn't respond to the macOS accessibility APIs properly and so Moves can only handle it when on the titlebar.

Hi, I love Moves, great app. 2 small questions:
1. Are you planning on open sourcing it?
2. Is it possible to have it resize based on the corner that the mouse cursor is closest to instead of always the bottom right corner?

Thanks! 1. Yes, I'll open source it soon. 2. Quite a few people have suggested that. Might be a good idea but I don't need it so it hasn't happened yet.

Do you know why Moves doesn't work with the Kitty terminal emulator specifically (at all, nothing happens when trying to resize)? Also, is there a timeline when Moves will be open-sourced?

Usually it's because some apps implement their own custom, non-standard Window objects. If they don't adhere to the macOS Accessibility APIs then Moves can't handle them.
