Cross-platform expansion is heating up among indie devs stitching features across Apple ecosystems. The spotlight: Quotes — now on iPhone, built from the ground up for iOS with OCR capture and reminders [1][2]. Iterable Wallpapers — Mac and iPad, now in TestFlight feedback cycle [5]. monoPlayer — a major release with a tease for an iOS companion [3]. Launchie — a macOS Launchpad replacement previews a 1.1.0 sneak peek [4].
Quotes — From macOS to iPhone, redesigned for capture and rediscovery. On macOS it keeps your growing library; on iPhone it centers on instant capture with OCR, dictation, and a Share Sheet. It’s deeply native across both platforms with Siri and Shortcuts, offline-first, and 33.33% off via QUOTESIOS [1][2].
Iterable Wallpapers — available on Mac and iPad, now in TestFlight feedback cycle. The creator invites input on features as they ship cross-device wallpaper generation [5].
monoPlayer — monoPlayer 2.0 brings Multi-Library, a full tag editor, and ReplayGain. It’s a 30-day free trial, then US$25 as a one-time license. MacApps members can use macapps-20 for 20% off through October 2025 [3].
Launchie — MacOS Launchpad replacement sneaks a 1.1.0 preview, signaling a broader cross-platform mindset among indie Mac developers [4].
These moves show indie makers growing audiences by bridging platforms, turning each Apple device into a connected tool.
