In 2022, I bought my height-adjustable desk that I still use and enjoy every day. One feature that really sold me on it was the USB connection to the desk’s controller. I wanted the ability to integrate it into my smart home setup: moving it remotely, querying its current height, and building logic on top of that information.

Bandwidth Monitor 3.2.0 is here! This release builds on the groundwork laid with 3.1.0 and 3.1.3 and focuses on polish, correctness, and future compatibility. While it doesn’t introduce a new headline feature, it improves some important areas that should make the app feel more robust and reliable in daily use.

In September 2025, I had the pleasure of hosting the CocoaHeads Hamburg iOS developer meetup at the LichtBlick office. As always, it was a great evening: exchanging ideas, talking shop, eating pizza, and drinking beers (or lemonade). Meeting like-minded developers and hearing what everyone is currently working on is one of the most inspiring parts of our community.
