Crop images to any ratio. Added a cropping feature to TinyPixy.

TinyPixy, a Mac app featuring compression, background removal, and AI upscaling, has added a fourth feature, "Crop," in v1.2.0. By simply selecting a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9, you can batch-crop multiple images into the same shape. For images that require precise alignment, you can adjust them individually by moving the frame in the editing screen, which opens with a double-click. All processing is performed entirely on your Mac. With this update, the four essential tasks for image preparation are now unified in a single window.

Image compression, background removal, and AI upscaling in one Mac app. TinyPixy has been released.

I have released TinyPixy, a Mac app that combines three common image preparation tasks—compression, background removal, and AI upscaling—into a single tool. Processes that previously required separate apps or cloud services can now be completed within one window by switching tabs. Since all processing, including AI upscaling, happens on-device, your images are never sent to external servers. It is available as a $19.99 one-time purchase rather than a subscription, and all features can be tested in the free version.

Run tens to hundreds of sub-agents at once with Claude Code's Dynamic Workflows

Dynamic Workflows, added to Claude Code as a research preview, is a mechanism where Claude writes orchestration scripts on the fly and coordinates dozens to hundreds of sub-agents in parallel to tackle large tasks. You can start simply by typing "workflow" in the prompt. We will organize the details step-by-step, covering the differences from sub-agents and Skills, specific usage, and the often-overlooked considerations regarding cost.

Claude Opus 4.8 Released: Towards Long-Term Autonomy and More Sincere Behavior

Introducing Anthropic's new model, Claude Opus 4.8. With improvements in judgment, honesty, and long-term autonomy, the probability of it missing flaws in its own code is now about one-fourth that of the previous generation. Fast mode is 2.5x faster and 3x cheaper, while standard pricing remains unchanged. I have also organized how to leverage it for work from a practical perspective.
