It is time to spotlight even more indie apps for iOS 27. Here's our second roundup of some excellent app updates for iOS 27, and what you can do with them using Siri AI and widgets: https://www.macstories.net/reviews/our-favorite-indie-apps-for-ios-27-vol-2/

@viticci

When I switched to Omarchy, this was one of the things that was stopping me: I really want my (latest) iPhone pictures available from a native Omarchy app. Mostly because the website for iCloud Photos really sucks.

@jankeesvw

Who wants to try the new Notion Calendar on iOS? Unlike the main Notion app, this one is a RN→Swift rewrite. Good news! We've now offended all technologists equally. Web view lovers, RN lovers, and (historically) Swift lovers. 😅

@mschoening

👋 I'm looking for my next role (open to contracts too). ~20 years of Ruby/Rails, plus Swift/iOS and lots of hands-on LLM work. Co-founded Hello Weather; previously 37signals, Clearbit, IFTTT. Chicago or remote. DMs open, or [email protected] ✨

We're kicking off a new series on MacStories today: Our favorite indie apps for iOS 27. Check it out: https://www.macstories.net/roundups/our-favorite-indie-apps-for-ios-27-vol-1/

If you're going to buy an Apple product now, NEVER choose: ・iPhone 18 Pro Max ・MacBook Pro ・iPad Pro ・Apple Watch Ultra Instead, choose:

@colenoxrage

Costco is insane I just traded in an iPhone 14 for $1200 off and iPhone 18 pro + $100 costco gift card AND my bill went down $20 a month. How does that even make sense 😂

@Ebatez_

A guy will buy the iPhone 18 Pro Max this month. He'll transfer his data from his old phone. He'll set a wallpaper. He'll arrange his apps. He'll open Instagram. And for the next 2 years, he'll use the most advanced smartphone ever built to scroll social media, send texts, take photos on auto mode, and check email the same 5 tasks he performed on the iPhone 13 Pro he's replacing. He won't discover the variable aperture camera that gives him DSLR-level depth-of-field control for the first time in iPhone history. He won't configure the Action Button that replaces 3 daily app-hunting routines with a single press. He won't set the battery charge limit that adds 2 years to the battery's lifespan. He won't use Back Tap to launch shortcuts by tapping the back of the phone twice. He won't adjust the flashlight beam width from spotlight to floodlight. He won't activate the keyboard trackpad hidden inside the spacebar. He won't turn on StandBy mode that transforms the phone into a bedside smart display while charging. His coworker a former Apple Store Genius who spent 4 years watching customers use 20% of their iPhones told him the iPhone 18 Pro Max ships with iOS 27 and approximately 400 features most owners never open. "The phone doesn't need to be more powerful. You need to explore more than 20% of what's already there." She showed him 11 hidden features that transform the iPhone 18 Pro Max from a $1,499 social media scroller into the device Apple actually built. Here's the full playbook 🧵

@jackcoder0

Shopify is moving from React Native to Native

@mustafa01ali

1. Native acces to Instagram DMs seems valuable for a lot people. WhatsApp inbox in the future? 2. They already have a version in WhatsApp. Instagram -> Threads distribution potential.

@dwr

Sharing a few of my personal "skills" publicly because why not… https://joebell.studio/skills Nº 1: apple-web-app I've wasted years of my life getting web apps to feel native in iOS Safari, so you don't have to

@joebell_

RIP Android.. Apple has finally launched iOS 26.4 This is iOS biggest upgrade in history. Here are insane features you won't believe in the new update: 👇

@Alokkumarzz

Holy macaroni, a few hours ago I wouldn't have thought it's possible. Running omarchy quattro on my pinephone. It's beautiful. All the basics are working: touch, wlan, mic, bluetooth.. just needs tons of UI optimizations @dhh

@simonschubert

Drop your homescreen setup.

@adityjpg

We redesigned Superhuman Mail for iOS and Android 📱

@rahulvohra

I made https://infiniteslop.ai yesterday completely on my phone with @TermiusHQ on my @Hetzner_Online VPS with @claudeai Code in the sauna while in a group chat of my friends with @marcantoinefon in it

@levelsio

I don't want to pay for Sentry. So I built a tiny, self-hosted alternative that uses around 8 MB of memory with an open-source iOS app that sends errors straight to my phone. No Slack. No Telegram. No subscription. It’s called Boop and it's 100% free & open source.

@codestirring

ChatGPT Voice on watchOS 27 beta:

@keleftheriou

Question for ChatGPT iPhone users: have you figured out when to use Chat and when to use Work yet? What kind of tasks are you switching to Work for? Have you made Work your default?

@simonw

One of the best third-party demos for Siri AI I've seen on iOS 27 yet.

@viticci

this guy is on track to make $30k/month if you have a mobile app, you can definitely learn something from this

@andilosing

Yes if you update ChatGPT iOS you can finally do this!

@Dimillian

I don't know him but if I look him in the eyes like Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm I think he's telling the truth so he deserves a follow He's switching from mobile apps to web apps!! @willbakerships

@levelsio

The ATC app is one of the best products I've seen in a while. Lovely UI, novel displays, replays, the matching of visual flight tracking with ATC chatter, following a flight and getting ATC / pilot chatter in a chat-like UI, etc. Super, super well done. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/atc-live-air-traffic-radio/id6755132266

@jasonfried

Somewhere on your phone you have the closest thing to magic we have shipped. It does things for you. All day if you want. Go try it.

@thsottiaux

Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM. Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute. I walked around watching the number climb. Found it. Apparently you can just make the tool you need now. Code:

@un1c0rnioz

Vibecoded a silly little tool that transfers files from your computer to your phone air-gapped using your camera at ~50 Kbps. Nice to have when you're offline or on a plane, or need to send something super duper securely.

@deedydas

many people asked me how i keep shipping when on my phone i have my own ios app and here’s a quick clip of how i use it: - ssh to my mac mini - never open the mobile keyboard - it sucks. instead i designed this touch “dial” - voice input for prompts using on-device transcription model - i can also send images directly from phone do you like this kind of interactions? i actually had to design the “dial” myself. both fable and sol failed to come up with this solution - they kept building different button rows. fable called me clever when i showed it this idea :)

@kunchenguid

Claude Code on desktop now works with the iOS simulator. Build and run your iOS app, and the simulator opens in a panel right next to your conversation. Available today in public beta.

@ClaudeDevs

Today we're announcing the completion of one of the largest engineering projects in the company's history: We rebuilt the X Android app from scratch It's faster, smoother and more reliable. But most of all: it will enable us to build new features at lightning speed.

@nikitabier

iOS 27 liquid glass looks so damn clean.

@linuz90

We shipped! iOS and Android apps also got updates and they look great. Had to bump Node to keep things smooth, if the autoupdater doesn't work, run the web installer and it'll take care of that for you.

@steipete

http://knockoff.shopping is functional on iOS Safari! now just need daddy apple to approve it. 🫣

@Shpigford

VERY COOL!! Thanks @jordandotbuilds for the tip, I can now test my iOS app on web I asked Claude Code to set up serve-sim, a web-based iOS simulator that can stream the iOS app my Claude Code on VPS built live to me, because it's on some Mac Mini in the cloud without even a GUI (it's headless) I cannot actually try it on the Mac itself! Before Claude would make me a page with screenshots but I had no idea how the app felt, now with this it works This is hosted on the Mac Mini via SSH (it shows localhost but it's a tunnel via SSH to the Mac Mini), bit laggy but nice!

@levelsio

Claude Cowork is coming to mobile and web. Hand Claude a task at your desk and pick up the finished work from your phone. Close the laptop and Claude keeps going. Beta is rolling out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow.

@claudeai

Introducing Cursor for iOS. Build from anywhere by launching always-on cloud agents. Or remotely control agents running on your computer from the app. Composer 2.5 is 75% off in the app now through July 5.

@cursor_ai

Lightning fast 📸 A new and much improved way to take and upload photos in ChatGPT on iOS.

Mastering Codex (Mobile) for Engineering

@Dimillian

One of the coolest in person demos at #wwdc26 was @lmstudio running massive local models on 4 daisy chained Mac Studios with a total of 2tb memory Then they pulled out an iPhone and chatted with those models remotely over a secure connection I need to find a use for this

@stalman

Lots of potential with the new Foundation Model APIs on iOS 27. Here is a prototype for ingredient substitutions in Crouton. Quickly get replacement ideas, or if you have something in mind, get feedback. Hopefully shipping later this year 😊

@JustMeDevin

Is this really the First Beta of WWDC 26? WHY THIS IS SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD : ) First Beta of iOS/iPadOS 27 > Final version of iOS26/iPadOS26

@balaji_ravada

This is the FUTURE. Local models running on your phone with borrowed compute from your MacBook. 100% free and works with all Open Source models.

@Saboo_Shubham_

More of the iOS app loop, now inside Codex. The Build iOS Apps plugin lets Codex view and test your iOS app in the in-app browser, open SwiftUI previews, and hot reload edits without leaving Codex.

@OpenAIDevs

magicpath slaps (with droid) tested it out h/t @skirano

@bentossell

I am trying to understand why people would want Codex on their phone

@Ekaeoq

Claude Code can now autonomously test your entire iOS app. Every screen. Every flow. Debug logs included. Structured bug report at the end. One prompt. No scripts. No setup.

@oliviscusAI

Drop your screenshots and this Claude skill turns them into animated onboarding

@bidah

This week’s Useful Thing: customize your iPhone’s charging sound. I went with the Mac startup chime. What you going with?

@JoannaStern

introducing Reelful from a camera roll to a finished reel in just 10 minutes live on the App Store now! by the end of the year, all short videos on the internet will be created with Reelful! the ending is so funny 🤣😀
