Opening the app and getting a new sparkle update dialog everytime is getting very annoying…especially for updates that are relatively minor.

just today its gone from 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5 -> 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 -> 1.1.8 -> 1.1.9 -> 1.2 -> 1.2.2 (skipped 1.2.1?) in under 5 hours. A lot of these could wait until theyre put in a relatively bigger release!


Hi there, are you not able to just uncheck “Automaticly check for updates” in settings?

I already have, but I wish I didn't have to...I don't see a reason for updates to be this granular especially when the only release notes are the diffs and the commit messages in between tags.

I understand "shipping at the speed of inference", but it makes the people who opt into updates more like testers on a "nightly" release cycle. At that point, I'd call it a nightly.


Yeah I get it, I mean to implement a better release system moving forward, allowing users to only choose large releases if they want, and include release notes. For now i’ve been focused on meaningful quick improvemnts until the app feels more finished.

not the design per se (however you are right that theres a lot of swiftui usage here that is only available on newer macos’) but mainly because it is using the new @Observable observation macro that is only available on macOS 14+

Thanks for the info! I'm tracking so far behind the Swift "state of the art" in my apps. But, if it ain't broke...

Texas? :(

Oh wow, just tried it and youre right. This is a regression, pre-launch after you finished recording with the global hotkey, the icon in the dock would bounce and it would bring up the main window to start editing. Ill fix this in the next minor release


I would still use Audio Hijack when it comes to recording long-form internal audio like zoom meetings. RM2000 Tape Recorder is meant for shorter, "music-like" recordings.

here is what I would want the average Sample Library for RM2000 Tape Recorder to look like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJXwCcAR6uw . Its more of a tool like PureRef, Pinterest & Are.na (for grabbing quick ideas) rather than Audacity or Audition.


Very close to Garamond! Its "Instrument Serif" - i wouldve put Garamond but I don't know if i have the rights to that.


version 1.0.1 does keep a cached file undeleted (due to an oversight)....and has a lot of other bugs. version 1.0.2 doesnt!

On the other note - right now RM2000 Tape Recorder uses the ScreenCaptureKit API. This is the worst API i've ever used - every app i've tried out that uses it (Polycapture, QuickRecorder, Ayazaka) has had EXC_BAD_ACCESS problems with it, and sometimes it causes `replayd` to consume 5% of cpu even after the recording is done. I plan to move all the recording into a CoreAudio API, which is not only stable, but also has the added benefit of being more privacy conscious - it only uses the "record system audio" macOS permission instead of the "record the ENTIRE screen" permission.

right now, the app does the bare minimum of trying to record the screen. it captures a 2 x 2 window of the screen, and it throws away all the video buffers regardless. i've always felt like im actually doing something that apple wouldn't like and they just didn't see it. moving to the new API is one of my top priorities, and it still lets me keep the minimum requirement at macOS 14.6+


Amazing, thank you for the insights!


I wouldn't do it until I can get a proper iPhone port out - and even then ill still have to think about it :P


I plan for more skeuomorphic themes in the future (i got very tired of looking at the same design for 3 months!)

but yes this is more of a "remember when..." kind of design. i do have some drafts for easter eggs that tie more into "real world problems" :P


Currently a bug in 1.0.1 - there's a fix in 1.0.2, and it should be approved by App Store review team shortly :)
