Upcoming Apps I’m Excited About
Very few things give me a dopamine hit as checking app updates/releases. So much so that my main habit stacking this year is: only allowing myself to check for AppStore updates when I read a couple of pages of whatever I’m reading. With that in mind, here’s the apps I’m currently looking forward to:
- Tapestry: After a successful kickstarter campaign, it looks like launch is imminent. Alongside Flipboard Surf and the new Reeder, the open web unified timeline concept is something I’m excited about. And this will surely bring some great UI/UX gold nugget.
- Micro Social: still in development, but this Swift rewrite of the micro.blog iOS client is going to be a nice update over the current one.
- Quick Reviews: you might know the Webapp, but Matt is working on an iOS version and it looks sweet. When he does add books to “Magic Mode”, I’ll have some decisions to make.
- Pieoneer: a pie menu launcher thingy for the Mac that looks beautiful. Although the concept has already been done by Ryan Hanson with Charmstone, this new approach looks great.
- retroStrip: a re-imagination of the original Control Strip, I love this sorts of Apps. Still in development, but will download for sure if it sees the light of day.
Update 2025-01-27: added retroStrip. I was looking for a link when posting this but couldn’t find one, luckily Mario Guzman shared one today.
