Timeline (last 90 days)
Stephen Robles is the co-host of podcasts such as Mac Power Users and Primary Technology.
Stephen Robles uses Claude Code (with the Fable 5.1 model) as his preferred AI coding tool rather than Codex.
Robles handed both the App Store Connect API key and his Cloudflare account to Claude, so that the entire release pipeline—from writing code, packaging the DMG, and uploading to the website to generating App Store screenshots and filling in the changelog—can be completed within a single window.
Can Do is a new to-do/video project management tool with a kanban view and support for rich-text notes and attachments, developed by Robles and priced at a one-time purchase of $3.
Robles's starting point for developing Can Do was his liking for and dissatisfaction with Apple Reminders' kanban view: fast enough and native enough, but lacking rich-text notes and multi-attachment support.
Robles made Leveler because he had to manually adjust the volume every time after downloading a video from Riverside; he threw the "raw audio" and the "fixed audio" to Claude together and had it rebuild an audio engine, which was up and running in twenty to thirty minutes.
When Robles was integrating Siri AI-related features into Can Do, Claude repeatedly insisted the feature was already built in, but it did not work when he tested it on his phone, and it was only solved in the end with an instruction file sent by a listener.
When Robles produces Primary Tech Daily every day, what runs RSS aggregation in the background is precisely a shortcut.
Robles has started using LM Studio to run local models to save tokens, and has made shortcuts that can call local models.
