Hey People of r/edbangerrecords!

I made a free iOS synth/sequencer app called Digital Worms Attack, inspired by Mr. Oizo’s Analog Worms Attack. That album really drew me into the world of electronic music and IMO is an all time classic.

The app has two mono synths emulating the MS20, an 808 style drumkit, a kit made of drum samples from my friend Dylan, and a Mic Sampler, along with a bunch of effects, filters on filters, all kinds of fun stuff on a 16 step sequencer. You can record yourself playing it and export too.

It’s iOS only (sorry Android folks) and you can snag it here - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/digital-worms-attack/id6760602698

I also made an EP entirely using the app to demonstrate what you can do with it - https://musicisadirtyword.bandcamp.com/album/digital-worms-attack

I hope some people here enjoy it!

Hey r/filemaker — back in March I posted introducing FMS Detective, a native macOS app for analyzing FileMaker Server logs. The response was great and I've been heads-down shipping since. I shipped v1.4 this week and wanted to highlight some of the features and improvements since my original post.

DDR Import — One of the things I floated as a "maybe" in the original post. It shipped in v1.2. Import DDR XML to resolve cryptic internal table/field IDs to real names everywhere they appear — Top Call Stats, the Performance Troubleshooter, error messages, etc. I built this using the Database Design Report instead of Save as XML, as I understand Save as XML is still evolving between versions.

Script Timeline (Gantt view) — This was a feature a user had asked for - 24-hour-per-day visualization of schedules, PSoS, and aborts, cross-referenced with the Access Log so you can see who triggered what and when things collided. screenshot

Timelines Drag-Select — Every major log view request/event timeline allows drag-select of a time range. Makes it really fast to zoom in on a spike and filter the data table.

Access Log enrichment — Database Activity Summary, PSoS client type detection, encryption lock indicators, accordion details with per-database filtering. For clients - quickly see their last version of FileMaker, last IP address and last connection.

Persistent settings — Settings now stick across launches. Log Correlation thresholds, custom AI prompts, selected AI model, and Admin API trusted hosts all remember what you set them to, so you can tune the app to your environment once and not have to redo it every session.

AI Assistant overhaul — Still local-only via Ollama (the privacy feedback was clear). But you can now customize the default question for each log type, and I rewrote every default prompt in a neutral-context style that references Claris docs.

Parser Unknowns mode — A developer toggle (in settings) that surfaces unrecognized log lines, with one click to email them to me. This has been great for catching edge cases from real servers in the wild, and extremely useful for nailing down localization/multi-language support.

Stability and polish — Fixed several big-log hangs (Event Log timeline, DataTable string sort, Remote Calls chart on long ranges). Stable chart colors across launches. Numeric sort on duration/byte columns. Rolled log files (fmodata.log.1 etc.) now detected. FAC lifecycle lines now parsed instead of dropped. New stat cards for Server Stats and Client Stats.

What's still cooking:

• More log types — adding support for Debug.log, FMSEScriptErrors.log, and FMDAPIScriptErrors.log.
• German localization is in beta right now — full parser-level support for non-English FileMaker Server logs is my goal. If you admin a server in another language I would love to hear from you!
• Commercial AI integration (OpenAI / Anthropic) is still on the backlog. The original post's feedback was overwhelmingly "keep it local" so it's lower priority. Still considering it as an opt-in. The difference in context window size between local and commercial is massive.
• iOS App - I am testing a beta version of a stripped down iOS version of FMS Detective focusing on the Admin API capabilities. See all active databases, clients, schedules, backups - disconnect users, send messages, close databases, cancel schedules/backups etc. I am planning to release as a free standalone iOS app.

FMS Detective is available at fmsdetective.com with a free 7-day trial. I have reset the trial mode so if you did give it a test drive back in March you can get another test run with v1.4
