That’s a wrap on our second ever Software Sommelier! Many thanks to everyone who made it a success. 😜 We had a great time seeing all the things folks are working on right now, and we hope everyone left with some useful suggestions! 😉 #NewYorkAppWeek

And HUGE thanks are in order to @RevenueCat.com for including us as a part of another successful #NewYorkAppWeek!

We collected a list of some apps whose major iOS 27 updates really impressed us. These could be design changes, new features, integration of new iOS 27 behaviors, or a mix of everything! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Peak — apps.apple.com/us/app/peak-... As quoted from one of our engineers: “ @harshil.net is great and put a ton of work into this release,” and it’s plain to see: with added support for larger devices (iPhone Duo!) and incredibly robust widgets that can go full screen!

SolarWatch — apps.apple.com/us/app/sunri... SolarWatch is already stuffed with amazing features, but its iOS 27 update gives it a matured Liquid Glass look and integrates with Spotlight and Siri AI. Or, to quote SolarWatch creator Engin Kurutepe: “Hey Siri, wake me up at sunrise.”

We’re back from another successful summer retreat! These are so valuable every year, and we’re excited to show you what came from a few days of close-quarters, collaborative fun. 👀 Oh, and it’s not a true iOS-centric dev sprint without the nest of MacBook charging cables… 😝

👋 Hey! We’re having a busy summer, but we wanted to highlight 2 more apps we’ve been using since people seem to enjoy learning about things we’re finding useful and fun! One is iOS native/works on MacOS, the other is a web app, and both are art and design-centric.

An extra-special footnote: this awesome print media project, using dither garden during the creation process, by a friend of the team: @ky.fyi bsky.app/profile/ky.f...

First is tone, a freemium app for iOS and MacOS by Shikaka, Inc. apps.apple.com/us/app/tone-... There are a lot of great solutions for “solving” printed aesthetics using shaders, but this is a great, lightweight, standalone option with good accuracy!

Sam is awesome and so is this new project from him. ❤️ 😝 Archival work is important and often thankless. Equally important are the efforts people put into presenting archived content in a way that's easy for others to interact with and learn from! legacystore.app

I was talking with Tom, our Client Partnerships Director and resident golf guru, and the subject of “single-serving apps” came up: ones you rely on heavily during certain events and then don’t open the rest of the year. He cited The Masters app as a perfect example.

“It peaks the charts every year and is hailed as being the ‘best app in all of sports.’ It supports live activities, widgets, and had a brand new Vision Pro experience this year. But once the Masters is over, people obviously aren’t talking about it much.”

Happy Friday! We wanted to shout out two satisfying MacOS projects we’ve had some fun using. Henrik Ruscon’s Alcove tryalcove.com and Dominik Kandravy’s Monocle heyiam.dk/monocle

Next is Monocle, the aptly self-described “noise-cancelling for your screen.” It’s a perfect lightweight focusing tool for chronic multitaskers and is elegantly simple in its execution! www.heyiam.dk/monocle (One-time purchase @ $14.00)

techcrunch.com/2026/06/28/f... “Mistakenly we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence...that would produce a high-quality product.” Companies keep learning the same lesson: AI is an incredible accelerator, but is at its best when paired with experienced professionals.

Happy Thursday! We wanted to shout out another quality app made by an independent studio that many of us on the team use: @halideapp.bsky.social! iPhones have great cameras, but Halide lets you take full control over your images in a sophisticated way. halide.cam (📷 @mbbischoff.com)

Honored to receive this praise from Jacob Eiting on the work we’ve done for the wonderful team at @RevenueCat.com! 😽
