In the fast-paced world of software development, efficiency isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential. Code snippets, those handy pieces of reusable code, can significantly boost your productivity, but only if you manage them effectively. Enter CodeMenu by Extiri, a snippet manager designed not just for storing code but for transforming how you code, design, and even think about your work.
Writing code is easy; writing maintainable code is a craft. As software engineers, we often focus on delivering features and fixing bugs, but maintainable code is the foundation of scalable, long-term success. Code that’s clean, understandable, and adaptable not only saves time and money but also reduces frustration for everyone working with it, including your future self.
Hi! While programming in Swift I have accumulated many code snippets. Some of them are mine and some of them come from the internet. Here I’m sharing 5 tiny quality-of-life snippets. Hopefully you will find them useful.
Hi! In this post I will show you how to write a “screenshot taker” for a Cocoa app. It will allow the user to select a part of the screen, just like the builtin screenshot taking tool on macOS.

In such case you should use ScreenCaptureKit and it’s functions like captureScreenshot. It should work well for most cases. Well, let’s start!
