Paying for more Claude

At 1:05 a.m. I bought the Claude AI Max plan. I did not want to wait five hours every time I needed a new round of programming. The video recorder app was going well, and I wanted to keep working on it in the background. I hope all these apps will help fund the work I do.

Tidying the settings

The settings screen had grown into a long list, so I asked Claude AI to group the settings into boxes so you can see what belongs to what. I also asked for a small round floating button that saves your settings and closes the screen. I asked for a few other changes to the recorder at the same time.

The trim tool was still the plain version where you type seconds. The screenshots from this day show that screen, the main screen with its start and stop buttons, and the permissions the app asks for now that it uses the camera and microphone.
