Managing New Shortcuts with an Experiments Folder

This week, Federico and John clean house, deleting old apps, screenshots, half-built shortcuts, huge downloads, and more. A look at the workflows and apps we use to stay organized and clean up our digital messes.

On AppStories+, Federico’s Typing Mind experiments continue, while John shares his experience of Claude Code to build tools to run MacStories.

We deliver AppStories+ to subscribers with bonus content, ad-free, and at a high bitrate early every week.
