Apple has announced iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 (Tahoe).
Good news: these updates haven’t introduced new issues with my existing apps (phew)!
Daily Sage
Version 1.6.2 continues to run smoothly on iOS 15 through iOS 26 (iPhone and iPad).
I still plan to ship new features, but I don’t have an ETA. (Yes, I know; I’ve been saying that for a while.) Between life’s detours and a companion project in the works (keep an eye out, or sign up for my newsletter 👉🏻), I’m aiming to deliver an update within the coming months. 🤞🏻
TimeCruncher
The current release remains incompatible with iOS 15 and newer, including iOS 26.
Version 2 is still in the works as a complete rewrite with a fresh design and support for Apple’s latest standards. Unfortunately, I don’t have a timeline to share (yet).

Apple’s iOS 18 Update: What’s New with My Apps?
Apple dropped its latest version of iOS, the software that powers your iPhone and iPad: iOS 18!
Thankfully, the update didn’t cause many issues with my apps.
Here’s the current compatibility with iOS 18:
Daily Sage:
Version 1.6.2 operates normally on iOS 15, 16, 17, and now iOS 18 (on iPhone and iPad).
While I hoped to introduce new features in 2023, things didn’t go as planned. However, I’m optimistic those updates will debut in 2024! 🤞🏻
TimeCruncher:
Unfortunately, the current version remains incompatible with iOS 15, 16, 17, and now iOS 18. 😒
I’m still working on the update, but it’s taken a backseat to some other priorities.
Version 2 is being completely rewritten with an all-new design. TimeCruncher 2.0 will comply with Apple’s latest standards and include some of the most requested features when released. 🥳

Last week a few of you may have noticed that some of Daily Sage’s morning notifications failed to arrive on your iPhones and iPads. This resulted from some unexpected changes made to the backend server we utilize to handle and distribute our app’s notifications worldwide.
We are working with our provider to fix the issue, but could use your help.
If you have a moment, please fill out this brief survey. Your participation will help us better troubleshoot any ongoing issues and will improve the user experience, overall.
Thank you, in advance.
This morning, Apple formally announced the release date for iOS 12: September 17th.
Below is a list of all of our apps and their compatibility with iOS 12.
Effective 9/13/18:
Daily Sage:
We are finishing up work on v1.5 (a critical update). We hope to have it released and on your iOS devices by the end of this month. 🤞🏻
TimeCruncher:
Additionally, we’re working on a major update to our popular TimeCruncher app. Until it’s ready, the current version (tho not optimized for the iPhone X series) is 64-bit and will run on any iOS12 compatible device.
Knowtify:
Knowtify is also fully 64-bit and iOS12 compatible!
We’re working on a cosmetic update to make it shine on the iPhone X series.
Spam Alert:
Our original flagship app is not yet 64-bit compatible and therefore not available on iOS 12. Tho disappointing, anyone who previously installed the app (in iOS 10 or earlier) will STILL be able to take advantage of the app’s primary feature: warning when spam is calling.
Until we’re able to update the app, new numbers cannot be added to the system and therefore, new submissions cannot provide our advertised warning. All previously added numbers (more than 1,500) will continue to be blocked.
POPtorious! & POP Jr!:
Unfortunately, POPtorious (our first app!) and its sister app, POP Jr!, both need a few adjustments before they will be ready to take advantage of iOS 12. We hope to make those adjustments soon so that we can get them back in the app store for existing users to continue playing and for new users to discover.
As always, we thank you for your support and appreciate your patience as we update our existing apps.
We have lots of exciting updates and new apps on our roadmap and we look forward to sharing them ALL with you!
If you’re one of the iOS users who upgraded to iOS 11.2 (for new emoji’s) and have been hit with the “I️ ” bug, here’s a quick workaround until Apple gets it fixed:
- Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement > +
- then, type “i” (no quotes) in Phrase
- and “I” in Shortcut (no quotes)
- save and exit. 🙌🏻📱
Proud to announce that our latest update is fully compatible with iOS 10, starting today (v1.0.5).
Grab it before Apple releases the update, tomorrow!
Hello, everyone! Thank you, AGAIN, for downloading Daily Sage and joining us on this inspired journey!
A few of you may have noticed the inability to (directly) rate the app through the settings panel.
We noticed the bug too and have repaired how the app communicates with the App Store!
Sorry for the inconvenience! Please let us know if you uncover any additional glitches! We’ll get them patched ASAP!
I’ve got some good news and bad news…
The bad news:
When Apple released the latest public build of iOS 9 (9.1) it inadvertently broke some functionality in our app SPAM Alert! At present, if you are running iOS 9.1, you will (likely) be unable to launch the app to report new numbers.
–face palm–
The good news:
Since the SPAM Alert! app doesn’t need to be running on your iPhone to work (it just needs to be installed), you are still actively protected from unsolicited calls. A visual warning will still appear if/when you receive a call from an offender on our master list.
We’re actively working to get the bug fixed and will let you know when an update is approved and available.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
Happy Friday! Have a great wknd!
