Keep It 2.7 is updated to support Liquid Glass in macOS 27, iOS 27, and iPadOS 27. In addition, Keep It supports the main menu on iPad, support for actions in Spotlight on Mac, and all versions sport new app icons. Other changes include a redesigned Share extension on macOS, and various improvements for thumbnails, extracting item information, and iCloud.

Operating System Updates

Keep It now adopts Liquid Glass on macOS 26 Tahoe, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. Sidebars and toolbar buttons now have a raised, rounded appearance, menus have icons, and the redesigned app icon can adapt to your appearance settings.

Actions have been rewritten to appear in Spotlight on macOS 26 Tahoe, and text-based actions can now handle rich text. On iPadOS 26, Keep It provides a main menu for the Stage Manager and window multitasking modes.

On iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, a search button is shown above the items list, and status information such as progress or the number of items has moved to the navigation bar at the top of the screen.

Other Changes

On macOS the Share extension has been redesigned to show more information and reduce visual clutter. There are efficiency improvements to iCloud, thumbnails, and extracting information from files, and improved reliability when checking changes to files.

Tim Chaten interviewed my for the iPad Pros podcast, which is all about getting work done on iOS.

In the podcast we discuss Keep It: what it can do, some of the thinking behind the app, plus a little about its history and its future. We also talk a little about the non-existence of Feeder for iOS.

I have seen Steve Jobs as an inspiration for my entire adult life. Obviously, in the industry I am in, I am far from alone in that. That Stanford speech he made? I’m living it, and I was when he made it, but I didn’t know back then whether I was just kidding myself. That speech didn’t just inspire me, it validated my life and helped me appreciate how fortunate I am. Watching again earlier, I felt the same. The message can apply to anyone.

“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”

I take nothing for granted. You can have all the ideas and talent and work as hard as you like, but success in any area of life always comes down to some measure of luck and timing. When you set out on the long road to make something happen, you have no idea if it will work or what people will think, but when you know your intentions are good, how could it ever be wrong?

I love what I do. Every day is potentially amazing. I owe that to him.

Reinvented Software’s apps will be submitted to the Mac App Store for its launch, whenever that might be.

It’s somewhat interesting as developers need to create custom versions of their applications for Apple, mostly to exclude things such as built-in software updates, to use Apple’s secuity and copy protection and any other changes required to conform to the store’s submission guidelines.

With those two versions of the apps also comes two licensing schemes. A license bought through the App Store will not be transferrable to one bought directly from Reinvented Software or vice versa and, as things stand, the App Store will lack free trials, education, bulk and upgrade discounts and refunds, while new releases may be delayed by the review process (but available immediately for those who purchased directly).

Free trials and (assuming the Mac App Store is 10.6 only) versions to run on Mac OS X 10.5 and PowerPC Macs will continue to be available through this site and the trial limitations removed by purchasing a license directly from Reinvented Software.

Even with its compromises, I’m confident the Mac App Store will benefit Mac users through its ease of use and Mac developers by providing increased exposure for their apps. It’s also good that everyone will be able to choose whether to buy through Apple or directly from a developer.

This time last year, Give Good Food to your Mac’s kitchen opened for the first time, presenting allowing you to cook up your own bundle of Mac apps by choosing the ones that suited you the best, and the more apps you bought the more you saved with a progressive discount rate. In the summer, there was a developer special.

Today, the promotion is back for another fortnight. While the recipe is the same, you can now choose from around 70 apps from independent developers across the globe. Together is included in this promotion. Discounts start at 20% when you buy three or more apps and rise to 50% for five or more apps. The promotion runs from Nov 17th to Nov 30th.

So, to create your own bargain bundle, head over to the Give Good Food to your Mac store.
