Cross-device workflows have become the baseline for Mac and iOS productivity apps. The chatter centers on seamless syncing across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and beyond, driven by fresh updates and prototypes.

iCloud-powered syncing — The standout is Lettera22's Markdown editor with iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The app supports offline work and real-time editing feedback, keeping docs in sync as you move between devices. [1]

Reminders and sharing across devicesWakeMinder powers cross-device reminders and sharing: reminders appear the second your Mac wakes; it can open your browser to pick up where you left off and lets you share from iPhone or Apple Watch to your Mac instantly. [2]

AirSync+ cross-platform syncingAirSync+ highlights cross-platform syncing, with features like notification sync, clipboard sharing, and end-to-end encryption. It even includes iPhone/Android mirroring and a “continue browsing on other device” flow. [3]

Deft prototypes Watch and Mac supportDeft prototypes target Apple Watch and Mac support, with plans for on-device AI processing and a Mac app/extension roadmap that could deepen the ecosystem. [4]

LinkLock Mac expansionLinkLock plans a Mac version to extend its ecosystem, keeping voice notes and contextual links tightly connected in a local-first approach. [5]

Closing thought: across Lettera22, WakeMinder, AirSync+, Deft, and LinkLock, cross-device syncing isn’t optional anymore—it’s the foundation of next-gen Mac/iOS apps.
