Club MacStories Town Halls are part of the monthly and other special live audio events we hold in the Club MacStories+ Discord community. The show is a recorded and lightly edited version of the Town Halls that we produce, so Club MacStories+ and Club Premier members who can’t attend the event live can listen later. To learn more about Club MacStories+ and Club Premier, visit our Club plans page.
Federico and John are joined by Joe Hribar, the creator of Timery, the Toggl time tracking app, to talk about magic and declared variables, action parameters and how Timery makes use of them, automation triggers, and our hope that Apple will allow third-party apps to act as triggers in the future.

Kolide is a SaaS app that sends employees important, timely, and relevant security recommendations concerning their Mac, Windows, and Linux devices, right inside Slack.
Kolide is perfect for organizations that want to move beyond a traditional lock-down model and move to one where employees are educated about security and device management while fixing nuanced problems. We call this approach Honest Security.
For example, Kolide can:
- Instruct developers to set passphrases on the unencrypted SSH keys littered throughout their devices.
- Find plain-text two-factor backup codes and teach end-users how to store them securely.
- Convince employees to uninstall evil (yet allowed) browser extensions that sell their browser history to marketing companies
You can try Kolide on an unlimited number of devices with all its features for free and without a credit card for 14 days.
Our thanks to Kolide for sponsoring MacStories this week.

At Kolide, we believe the supposedly Average Person is the key to unlocking a new class of security detection, compliance, and threat remediation. So do the hundreds of organizations that send important security notifications to employees from Kolide’s Slack app.
Collectively, we know that organizations can dramatically lower the actual risks they will likely face with a structured, message-based approach. More importantly, they’ll be able to engage end-users to fix nuanced problems that can’t be automated.

Honest.Security is one part guide and another-part manifesto that defines a user-first approach to security and IT compliance. It’s not just Kolide’s north star but also an aspirational roadmap. It’s our positive contribution to counterbalance the worrying upward trend of human-hostile cyber security, device management, and workplace surveillance philosophies that we’ve seen reach a fever pitch as organizations adapt to the long-term term prospects of remote work.
