Quick Resizer 2.0: Claude ported a 12-year-old Mac app to Swift

Jeff Geerling@geerlingguy

It's been 12 years since I last updated Quick Resizer, a Mac App that... quickly resizes images.

I built it because I hated waiting 10s or so to launch Photoshop just to scale an image for my blog.

I let Claude fix 3 bugs and port it to Swift (under my guidance), and it's now hit 2.0, and works better than it ever did before (and waaaay faster on modern Apple Silicon). Plus it still runs on Intel, at least macOS 13+!

It's still $0.99 as it always was: t.co/R632yw7wrs

And now I can again stop launching Photoshop's monstrous husk of an app just to scale down photos for my blog.
