Audiobus Preset store

I thought I’d like to capture some Audiobus presets for myself and store them somewhere. So I found a way to capture the presets to a Google spreadsheet and then embed the sheet in a web page. The page you can find here. I’ll be adding to it over time, so it’ll grow and more and more Audiobus presets will get added. Obviously, to get them to work you’ll need to access them from your iOS device and not a desktop.

Updates coming to Pythonista and Editorial

This is of course amazing news. These two apps are incredible powerhouses of iOS automation and the new UI module and its associated features will take both apps into new directions for automating text using iOS devices. The developer’s extensive description of how it all works and what’s behind the release is brilliant too.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the new versions. I just hope it won’t be long.

What I think that iOS automation needs right now

I was thinking about this today whilst reviewing some links on general automation stuff. One of the best tools for automating stuff on iOS is Editorial. I love its workflow generator. It’s great but it doesn’t go far enough. What’s needed is a simple editor for creating iOS workflows that span multiple apps and even incorporate web services like ifttt. Perhaps that’s too far. For a start anyway.

But something that could just help you use the available building blocks and get things moving would be amazing. Rather than having to use loads of URL encoding and stuff like that. It’s a thought. I would certainly buy it anyway.

Disappointed at the Reporter App

I bought this app as I liked the idea of it recording information during the day and acting as a form of journal. However, after a few days or maybe even a week of using it I found that it was asking me lots of questions but not giving me much back in return. It’s a shame really. I was hoping it would give me much more and maybe show me what I did with my time etc.

Perhaps I missed the point of it, and maybe I should give it another go, but I’m not sure it’ll happen soon.
