🖥️ Build a Real Mac App by Describing It

Hey friends!

Anthropic told Claude Code users yesterday it will permanently raise weekly limits by 25% starting September 14.

The temporary 50% increase ends the same day, so the net result is 17% less usage than you have right now.

Developers caught it within minutes. Read the first half of the announcement and it sounds like a win. Read the second half and you lost.

Pricing moves like this are why I built ShortPen, a platform for branded links, dynamic QR codes, and post-click conversion tracking, with unlimited links and QR codes on the free plan instead of held behind a paywall.

The five tools below follow the same rule: clear terms, real output, no fine print.
