I recently wanted to start covering start writing all my new app code in Swift, but hit a big problem: I use CocoaLumberjack everywhere and its not ready for Swift yet.

I am very pleased to be able to say that my first iOS app Soundproof is now available in the App Store. It is a music player designed for people who need to repeat any kind of audio track for practice.
