Was thinking about dropping support for iOS 18 in my apps, but around 10% of first-time downloads still come from devices running iOS 18 or earlier. Guess I'll be supporting it a little longer.

I wonder whether toolbars will also receive the new navigation bar appearance to improve legibility. Right now they haven’t, and they’ve lost the edge effect, which actually makes them less legible. Probably a bug...

One of my favorite new features so far #wwdC26

All of my apps appeared in the WWDC keynote this year!

Preparing the latest updates to tie everything up before WWDC! 👀

Today I’m rolling out a new version of Play with upgraded AI Assistant features: - Concise, detailed, and simplified video summaries - Ask any questions about the video - Progress indicator for AI requests - Better context handling for longer videos apps.apple.com/us/app/id159...

The redesigned artist profile is now live in MusicHarbor! apps.apple.com/us/app/music...

Now that my iOS 26 updates are mostly ready, I took some time to summarize everything new and share my experiences integrating Liquid Glass and Apple Intelligence: marcosatanaka.com/blog/os-26.h... Can’t wait to finally release these updates in a few days!

News summaries powered by Foundation Models, coming soon to MusicHarbor on iOS 26!

Taking some time before next week’s announcements to clean up a few things in Play: The video details view now has dedicated tabs for each section. It’s now easier to switch between attributes, chapters, transcript, recommendations, and actions.

I was having this issue where the Mail app showed an incorrect badge, but I hadn’t stop to look into it. It turns out there’s a new setting under Notifications → Mail → Customize Notifications to only counts unread messages marked as “Primary”

Some YouTube creators are so great, we never miss a new video. For those, Play will soon let you automatically add their new uploads to the watch later queue!

MusicHarbor 5.0 Arriving next week! 👀

Transkripte sind ein Play-Feature, dass mich über die Premium-Version nachdenken lässt. Play ist einer dieser "Widme-Ich-Mich-Später"-Dienste - halt spezialisiert auf Videos egal welcher Herkunft. Bookmark for Video, Instapaper for Video... Jetzt eine eingebaute Transkriptionsfunktion ist mächtig.

The latest Play update introduces Transcripts! Play now offers interactive transcripts that allow us to navigate the video by tapping any phrase. Transcripts are also searchable, making it easy to find and jump to specific sections of the video. Check it out here: apps.apple.com/us/app/id159...

I finally found a way to open a window in full screen on macOS. In the next update, Play will be able to do this, making it even easier to watch videos in the queue!

New Play update is now available, bringing the ability to hide all YouTube Shorts (including those without #shorts in the title), custom colors for Tags, a larger player for iPad, and more! apps.apple.com/us/app/id159...

Currently adding the ability to pick custom colors for tags through the system’s color picker!

I can’t believe it!! Play has won the Readers’ Choice AND the Best New Feature MacStories Selects Award!! 🤯 Not even in my wildest dreams I could have imagine this 🥹 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who voted and supported—it truly means the world to me ❤️ www.macstories.net/stories/macs...

There’s a $2.99 app in the App Store right now “My Classic - Retro Console” that’s hiding its true feature: an iPod Classic emulator that utilizes your Apple Music library. It works amazingly well and if you want it, get it before Apple pulls it (they will).

Dressing up my lock screen for the holidays 🥰

Working on a fun new Play feature, just in time for the end of the year!
