Apple's April Spring Loaded Event

Spring awakening at Apple's product presentation

What a fantastic Apple event that was! A well-trained Tim Cook presented a whole series of new products one after another. Starting with the new Apple Card Family, which is currently only available in the US, to the iPad Pro 2021.

First things first, there really was something for every Apple enthusiast:

What is on my computer

Tools and apps I work with - today: Antoni Cherif

Hello, my name is Antoni Cherif and I am part of the ProjectWizards team since 2008. I mainly support and train architects working with our macOS and iOS apps, test, blog, create tutorials and take care of the content marketing of our products.

For my daily work I use various applications, including the apps that come with macOS like Mail and Safari ...

Employee impressions from the home office

Always a good place to work - for me already since 2008

At ProjectWizards, we work remotely from home. Always have. With the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the discussion in Germany about working from home became more and more urgent. We can only smile tiredly about this, after all, we have been doing this for years and very successfully.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, for example that you only have a few steps to work every day, but you can still see your colleagues directly and contact them in a short time. Thanks to modern work devices and apps, we are all connected and can concentrate wonderfully on our work. We don't know any disturbances caused by the noise of an open-plan office.

We even have a set up virtual coffee kitchen where people can discuss and laugh apart from work. But that's not all. Every now and then, as just happened this week, there is also a nice surprise that is not virtual in nature.

The parcel carrier rings the doorbell and a black package with a Merlin Project sticker is handed over. Inside is a "Corona Care Package" containing everything needed for survival in these days. Two small bottles of Prosecco for the good mood, many small chocolate bars for even more good mood and several FFP2 masks, so that all colleagues come through the pandemic unharmed.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this team. Attention like this is what has set us apart for years, a sworn community working on great products and the customers out there appreciate it!

An iPhone App and a Blog Entry

Time flies. Since the first version of telephone memo a felt eternity has passed. Back then in 2003 Frank Blome had written the app for the Mac.

Eventually, dust grew over the matter. After a period of archaeological proportions, at least in the digital world, Frank Blome revived the idea in early 2020.

Phone Memos, the new app by ProjectWizards and is now available for iOS.

An old friend, Stefan Kremer, posted a nice review in his blog about the app. The talented in learning languages among you, who can read and understand German, can dive into the history of the app there.
