Indie devs are threading Mac and iPhone growth through every update. Pomidor exploded with 1.4K downloads in a day and is nudging a Mac version, while delivering sharper iPhone updates. The creator also insists Pomidor stays 100% free. [1]
Unchecked Fitness drew 3K new users in under 8 hours during a promo, with feedback pouring in as the team read every note. The plan explicitly points toward iPhone support now, and Apple Watch support is in the pipeline for future updates. [2]
Macscope is a modern rethink of window management for macOS. It augments Cmd+Tab with a Unified Search & Switch, Live Previews, and Placement Modes, plus Scopes to lock and restore workspaces. Built in Swift for both Apple Silicon and Intel, it ships with a 250-action free trial. [3]
Air‑Drop style transfers dominated a Mac↔Android thread. The discussion surfaced cross‑device options beyond traditional sharing, with standout mentions of CtrlV, Local Send, and Neardrop as practical text and file transfer tools. [4]
CopyMagic positions itself as a private, semantic clipboard on macOS. It stores locally, enables blacklist controls, and surfaces past copies by meaning rather than exact words, reducing mental friction. [5]
Across these posts, indie Mac/iOS apps are stitching together cross‑device flows, on‑device privacy, and faster context switching to keep developers and users in sync across platforms.
