Tweetbot is still good. Until it doesn't work I'll stick with it.

Loved Fenix on Android but looks under-featured compared to Twitterrific, at least right now.

I'm looking for an app that I can use with Siri Shortcuts to log medication taken. I'd like to be able to say "Hey Siri, I took [medication]" to log it somewhere, and to ask "Hey Siri, did I take [medication] today?" and respond with yes or no. Also, if I leave my home without logging medication I'd like a notification (on my watch) to tell me so. I don't care about saving a history of this or anything, I'm just sitting here today at work wondering if I took a pill or not and I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

I don't care about saving a history of this or anything, I'm just sitting here today at work wondering if I took a pill or not and I'm not sure. The app I was looking for is Streaks in case anyone was looking for something similar. It can't answer the question for me about whether or not I took a pill today, but that's fine. Either way I ended up deleting the app because it was too much of a hassle. But in looking for how to do this I found a way to use persistent variables/parameters in Siri Shortcuts, effectively making it possible to ask Siri "did I take a pill today." It can also be used to set variables that Siri Shortcuts can remember for later on. All you need to do is to use the "Get File" and "Save File" actions and the Files app. You can write a file with a date or parameter value, and Siri can later read it without requiring the phone to be unlocked. The bolded part is a big deal because from what I can tell, the phone needs to be unlocked to access content from other files from like Bear, Drafts, etc. For the pills thing for example, I can write a file called lastpill.txt into my Files/Shortcuts directory, with an ISO date time stamp after triggering a Streaks workflow or whatever. In another shortcut, I can read that same file to get timestamp in it, then compare that date to the current date. If that day was marked as the 15th and today is the 16th then I can have Siri say "no" to me and vice versa with an if/else statement. Another useful thing for persistent variables is say I have a workflow called "Play My Playlist." I have multiple playlists but I don't want to have to choose which one I want to play every time I run the workflow. So I can have the workflow read a Files/Shortcut/myplaylist.txt file which might just contain the word "chill". In my "Play My Playlist" workflow, it can read that file, and if the content == "chill" then it plays my for you "Chill" playlist, or if it equals "favorites" then I can make it plat that instead, and if it's neither of these it can just play a different default playlist and so on. The useful/cool part of this is that I can make another workflow that triggers when I say "Hey Siri, change my default playlist" which will read that text file, speak out loud what it's currently set to and ask if I want to change it, and then I can change it all via voice. One more thing about these text files is that you can pass in dictionaries or key=value pairs as well. They could be useful for eg storing API keys to various services, Dictionary: code:
key=value pairs (more readable by humans): code:
e: You can append or prepend to these files, but you can't update them "directly." You'll have to read the content, make whatever changes, and overwrite the entire file. One more example about why persistent values are awesome: I like to clear my mind in the evenings by doing some yoga and then mindful meditation. And what I want to do is to flow from yoga into meditation without having to look at a phone screen. Shortcuts can't really do this natively because 1) it's not possible to pause a workflow for the 20+ minutes a yoga session would take, and 2) my meditation app can't be opened by Shortcuts because it's not supported. So I get around this with one workflow that writes a file with the current time + duration of yoga (e.g., 30 minutes in the future), and I have another workflow that logs Mindful Minutes into Health starting from that timestamp until the current timestamp when I run this workflow. In my first workflow I send a notification to myself with the url link to run the second workflow. This way after the yoga thing ends I can just close my eyes and go straight into meditating on my own, and when I'm ready I can open my notification and tap the link, and then confirm that I want to add mindful minutes into Health.

So Tweetbot 5 came out and I'm down with all the changes except for the one where it's even worse about notifying me when people mention me. I know Twitter limited access to third-party apps recently and this was also an issue in Tweetbot 4, but 4 felt like it handled this better than 5. I don't think I'm getting any notifications in 5. I didn't turn notifications off or anything, but like sometimes I'll check Tweetbot and someone will have @'ed me hours ago but I was never notified about it. e: lol wait, I checked my notification settings in the app and they were all shut off. I had to turn them back on. I definitely hadn't turned them off though. Does updating to 5 just disable all notifications by default???

Yeah, they're claiming the Twitter API changes sorta forced them to rethink some things. You can still totally pay them money if you liked the app, which I did, because I like the app.

FYI, if you go ahead and give a tip of any amount in Tweetbot 5 you'll get some new themes from doing so. It's really neat.

I just noticed Tweetbot 5 also doesn't show verified checkmarks on the avatars of verified accounts. Like it does if you click through to their profile, but it won't in the timeline. Is there a setting to change that? 4 always showed them. e: Yeah, there totally is, and it's turned off by default. What the hell man lol

Go to settings and hit support Tweetbot on the bottom. As far as I know this is new for version 5 at least in regards of getting themes for tipping. You can do the $1 tip and after you’ll unlock some more themes.

Are the themes worth tipping for? I haven't yet, but if so, I totally would. I mean, I've already bought like 2 versions of Tweetbot in the past anyway haha I use night mode 100% of the time but vintage and console are the ones that interest me the most on that list.

I've been using Wunderlist as a cross-platform grocery list app between myself and my SO, who's an Android user. She's probably going to switch to iOS with her next phone, and I'd like to replace Wunderlist with an iOS / Mac-centric app since some of Wunderlist's interface stuff is really bad, especially on the desktop side (it takes like three separate clicks to delete each individual item, with no key command at all 😑). Is there a recommended iOS / Mac grocery list-type app that is goon-approved?

You can even add groceries right from a recipe!

Replies can be kinda funky sometimes, usually they work perfectly, but especially on threads sometimes I have to open a web view to see the whole thread.

Google Keep supports shared lists. The android app is markedly better than the iOS app because you can see each other typing and have an edit war in real time

CarPlay question: can Waze use voice while connected as it seems when I press the mic and yell at it it has no effect. Is support ever going to be added for 3rd party carplay stuff to get voice support? Otherwise it’s kinda useless a lot of the time.

If your iPhone has suddenly started becoming unresponsive, or going into a reboot/crash loop, it could be GasBuddy's fault. https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/10/22/apple-reportedly-working-with-gasbuddy-after-update-leaves-iphones-unresponsive Seems to affect iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X, and XS Max mostly. I had it on my 7, but deleted it once I saw this cause I didn't want to take the chance..
