Two trends are converging: two-way sync for iOS/macOS task/calendar apps and cross-device AI workflows that span iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac.
Two-way sync on iOS/macOS task/calendar apps
Users want a single app that fuses Apple Reminders and Apple Calendar in a true two-way loop—changes in the app should reflect across Reminders and Calendar, and vice versa. Post 1 highlights this demand for iOS and macOS together, noting GoodTask is close but lacks a Mac app, while BusyCal is floated as an alternative [1].
Cross-device AI chat and cloud-sync across devices
LLMConnect bills itself as one inbox for all AI models across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with multiple providers, support for local models, and built‑in OCR for attachments. It also offers a prompt library, image generation, and optional iCloud sync; the Mac version is built and in App Review [2], with pricing tiers including a free tier and Premium options [2].
NoPhone across iOS/watchOS/macOS
NoPhone adds digital-detox tooling with Lock Screen Widgets, Live Activity and Dynamic Island support across iOS, watchOS, and macOS to help users stay screen-free at key moments [3].
Closing thought: developers are trying to fuse reliable two-way syncing with smooth cross-device workflows, but real Mac task-app availability and evolving AI-chat sync are the next big tests to watch [1][2][3].
