Hey everyone! Just coming here to share this app I made since it could help someone. It's an unofficial Twitter/X client for the Apple Vision Pro that's based off of the website but looks native. It's called Dusk for Twitter. Just take a look for yourself!
It has a native tab bar and allows you to customize things such as tab bar items, text size and header behavior (sticky or non-sticky). To celebrate Vision Pro' s international launch, Dusk has also been localized to many different languages. 🇨🇳, 🇯🇵, 🇮🇹, 🇸🇬, 🇦🇺, 🇨🇦, 🇫🇷, 🇩🇪, 🇬🇧.
You'll also be able to choose from custom app icons once Apple enables it in visionOS (the icons are included in the app but Apple doesn't allow for custom app icons on the Vision Pro yet).
The design can be a bit funky in some specific areas but for timeline scrolling it's miles ahead of the X app from iPad aesthetically. Also, the app is constantly being updated for layout improvements I'm offering it at a discounted price of $3.99, but if you think that's a bit salty just follow the app's Twitter profile and stay tuned for giveaways!
It's available on the App Store!
Thanks everyone and have a great Sunday!
A year ago, inspired by the boom of AI, I decided to learn Swift and build an app. It took waaay longer than I planned, but today, I'm excited to share the result: Social AIde!
What is it? An AI-powered assistant that helps you craft replies to social media posts. Here's how it works:
You can customize the tone, or add some specific instructions. And it works across major platforms, and even blogs, or news articles.
As this is my first app I published in the App Store, I'd love your feedback:
Social AIde is on the App Store now. Can't wait to hear (read) what you think!
Hi, r/apple
After years of development, I’m excited to finally be able to share my app: Zesfy. The app is designed to let you schedule your task by integrating them directly to calendar but more importantly you can do it in just seconds. Here’s some key features of Zesfy:
I'm excited to announce that today I released a major update for Zesfy, packed with tons of improvements and exciting new features. Some of the highlights include Focus mode, Target Date, and Task Notifications, with even more features planned for the future. Your thoughts and feedback are incredibly important, and I'd love to hear what you think about these new additions.
To celebrate, I'm giving away 15 promo codes to the r/apple community! Simply comment below, sharing what you're most excited to try in Zesfy or any feedbacks you have. I'll select the winners in 24 hours and reach out with your promo code.

Hey! I'm an indie dev who makes #blockit.
I'm super excited to share this with my favourite subreddit, r/apple!
I made this app years ago to solve my own problem: How can I access university Facebook groups without getting distracted by the rest of Facebook?
And I had similar problems on YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, and so on.
I hacked together a solution, but it was difficult to maintain and sync between my iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
So I built #blockit! It lets you easily block distracting elements of popular websites on all your Apple devices, with full iCloud sync, no accounts, and 100% privacy.
Oh and it also lets you block any site you want. I block macrumors.com cause I'm too obsessed with Apple lol.
Hi everyone!
I have posted about Weather on the Way few times before. It's been a project I have been working on for 4 years now and thanks to Redditors support, which started even before the launch thanks to gracious beta testers, it reached #3 weather app charts in the US during Christmas.
In short, it's a travel weather app that takes into account your speed and route to predict the weather you will encounter on the road to your destination. You can play your route, adjust your time of departure and make sure you stay safe on the road.
Recently, I have added a new feature to the app that took me last 4 months to develop. Everyone knows weather radar – it's how we can observe live precipitation and see where it's raining or snowing. Many apps display a radar loop by showing frames from historical radar to get a better feeling on how the storm moves.
However, what people really care about and want to know is how the storm will behave in the future. I have used data provided by NOAA and applied a machine learning techniques to it to basically create a predicted weather radar view. And it's not for the next hour or two – my data has 48h of high resolution predictions in US and a week of standard resolution for the whole world.
Here is how it looks like:

By swiping along the timeline, you can see how the weather patterns will behave and estimate the risk of encountering a summer storm on the road ahead. Of course, the further in the future, the more uncertainty the forecast will have, but it still gives you a good feeling for how the weather might behave.
Other then that, there are also two new additional summer features:
One thing I would like to mention that unfortunately, because of the amount of expensive weather data needed, I cannot offer these features on the free tier. It's part of PRO, with monthly and yearly subscriptions ($4.99 and $24.99 respectively) and lifetime option for people who hate subscriptions.
But I also wanted to make sure that everyone can try the features and see for themselves if they are worth it, so there is a one week free trial on the yearly tier.
You can try the app for yourself here:

I would really appreciate your feedback and suggestions!

I think they forgot an important reason: the Apple Watch is already one of the best smartwatches and fitness trackers out there.
As someone who spends a lot of time writing on every Apple device, I’ve run out of patience for the low quality spelling correction on macOS, iPadOS, and iOS. The slightest misspelling and Apple has no idea what word I am trying to write. Speed is important to me, and using the technology in front of me to speed up my writing is what I expect. Every time I have a mispelled word that Apple can‘t correct or offer any accurate suggestion for, I can copy and paste that misspelling into Google and get the correct spelling of the correct intended word. 100% of the time. To me, this is one of the most basic and useful examples of AI assisting a user, and Apple’s current offering is dreadful. There is hope with Apple Intelligence coming, but I’ve yet to see this example shown. If Apple Intelligence lands without serious improvement in this area, I will lose a lot of faith in what Apple is doing.
