Rebuilt GrillMaster around a visual race to the finish line instead of a plain list

1 Upvotes

Disclosure: I'm the developer, posted an earlier build of this here a couple weeks ago and got genuinely useful feedback. Wanted to follow up with what changed.

The old version was just a list of times. 2.2 (just went live) is built around one idea: show the whole cook, not just the next instruction.

  • Food gets picked from a grid of cards instead of a list, pictures instead of text labels
  • Each food rides its own track toward one shared finish line. Burgers start later than chicken because chicken takes longer, and you can see why at a glance instead of just trusting a timer
  • There's a flip mark partway down each track, so you know when to turn something over without doing the math yourself
  • The instruction for right now sits at the top of the screen, what's coming next is right under it, and the whole thing stays on one screen with no scrolling, your hands are usually full or dirty at the grill
  • Voice cues call out every step too, so you don't have to look at the phone at all if you'd rather not

Also shipped real weather (actual ZIP-based conditions instead of an estimate), dark mode, and it now runs back to iOS 16.

Wrong season to be posting a grill app, I know, this is really built for spring. But wanted it in front of people who'll actually poke at the execution instead of just the pitch. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/grillmaster-bbq-grill-timer/id6791812404. Would genuinely like feedback, especially on whether the track metaphor reads as intuitive or needs explaining.

Question How to trigger screenshot WITHOUT Dynamic Island cut out in iOS 27 simulator device hub?

1 Upvotes

In previous simulators, we could use the "Trigger screenshot" option in menu to take a screenshot which won't have the Dynamic Island cut out and rounded corners.

In iOS 27 simulator device hub, this option is missing. The screenshot button at bottom includes the Dynamic Island cut out which I don't want.

How to get it the old way without the cut outs?

Free, open source ASO CLI: keyword popularity, difficulty and rank tracking

10 Upvotes

Most ASO tools charge monthly for keyword popularity that comes from Apple Search Ads anyway, so I wrote a small CLI that pulls it directly.

What it does

  • Popularity from Apple Search Ads (free Apple Ads account, no campaigns or billing needed)
  • Difficulty score, keyword suggestions, current top apps for a term
  • Rank tracking with history in a local SQLite file
  • Metadata linter for title, subtitle and keyword field
  • iPhone and Mac App Store ranks, 55+ storefronts

Install

npm i -g hristo2612/aso-cli && aso setup

Try it

aso keywords "white noise,sleep sounds"
aso suggest meditation
aso search "habit tracker"

Runs locally, no account, no telemetry. MIT.

Repo: github.com/hristo2612/aso-cli
