I put some time into Bunch this weekend. It’s been a little while since I’ve worked on it — I haven’t needed it to do anything new lately, and the current release hasn’t had any major bug reports. So it’s been happily humming along. But there was one feature request that I did keep receiving and decided to take another look at.

Thanks to TextExpander for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! TextExpander will be one of the very first apps I install when I get my brand new Mac Studio!

I’ve added some stuff to Doing lately. Like, a lot of stuff. To be fair, I’ve also done a lot of jobby job stuff. And worked with Fletcher on nvUltra. And started a rewrite of Gather as a menu bar clipboard web Markdownifier with integration with multiple apps (that one’s going to be cool if I finish it). And some time on Bunch. But as I’ve said before, the one thing I use when working on all of these is Doing. And I always want it to do something new or better, so it…

I’m late getting my “Top Apps of 2021” post out. I almost wasn’t going to do it this year, mostly out of just being frequently and excessively tired of late.

This is not a Christmas post. I kind of forgot it was Christmas Eve until my mom called just now. So I edited this post to start with “Merry Christmas.” I hope that brings cheer to your life.

You’ve probably heard me mention fzf before. It’s an amazing command line tool created by Junegunn Choi. It takes a list of data and turns it into a command line menu with fuzzy searching, multi-select, and can even preview each item in whatever way is appropriate. I’ve been using it in all kinds of scripts — where I used to have rudimentary numbered menus, I now have much friendlier and more flexible terminal navigation.

Bunch 1.4.6 is out now for automatic update (Bunch->Check for Updates) and for download . It’s been in beta for a couple months, and I’ve added some cool new stuff in the process. See the changelog for a full list of new features, fixes, and improvements.

Thanks to TextExpander for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! I hate posting two sponsor posts in a row with nothing between, but I’ve been working hard on a few projects and haven’t had time to write any of them up since the last sponsorship. Fun updates coming soon! In the meantime, here’s a word from my favorite sponsor with a fresh new release to share.
