Dude, Where’s My iPad? Bill Selak Talks… About Custom macOS App to Solve School Inventory Location

In this episode, I talk about a new idea for identifying misplaced devices. We often find ourselves asking, “Whose device is this?”


Join me as I share my journey of creating a solution using ChatGPT and Codex to build a macOS app for device lookup. I discuss the process of developing the app, from brainstorming to coding, and how leveraging technology can streamline our inventory management.

The wild thing is that building this app took only a couple of hours! Codex 5.5 (very high reasoning) is incredible!


Whether you’re in tech management at a school or just curious about the intersection of education and technology, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice on how to solve recurring problems with innovative solutions.
