He is best known for MarsEdit, the long-running desktop blog editor he bought from Brent Simmons in 2007, and for FastScripts, a scripting automation utility. For 16 years he co-hosted Core Intuition with Manton Reece, one of the defining podcasts of the indie Apple-developer scene, and he runs the long-form interview show Bitsplitting.

He runs the two-person studio TLA Systems with his wife, having earlier worked at Apple on the Mac OS X Finder and Dock. A fixture of the Apple developer community, he is also a podcast pundit on Relay FM and The Incomparable, a conference speaker, and a Dungeons & Dragons player who photographs squirrels on the side.
Jeff Johnson
Jeff Johnson is a longtime independent Mac and iOS developer who runs Lapcat Software and the Underpass App Company. He is best known for StopTheMadness, a Safari extension that wrestles control of the browser back from hostile websites, and for being one of the sharpest public critics of Apple's privacy decisions, including the 2020 'OCSP appocalypse' that revealed macOS was phoning home unencrypted every time you launched an app. A philosophy graduate turned code archaeologist, he writes a widely read blog dissecting Apple's broken promises and has racked up a long list of CVE security credits across macOS, Safari, iOS, and WebKit.
