We’ve been working on this update for 4+ years and are thrilled to finally launch.
If you’re curious why it took 4 years and the thousands of iterations behind what you see today, I posted a thread on Twitter: https://x.com/drbarnard/status/1...
TLDR; Our guiding principle was to build “a weather person on my wrist” as one of our users requested. We refined our design over and over to make it...

Being able to flag important parts of a conversation, then copy the transcript or share a short video clip is absolutely mind blowing. I wish this had existed when I started doing office hours a couple years ago. So many great conversations were forever lost because I can't take good notes while talking or trying to pay attention while the other person is talking.

We launched the Rando app earlier this year using animated kaomoji as loading spinners. When apple announced iMessage sticker apps, it was obvious how fun those animations would be as stickers. I’m thrilled with how it turned out and have had a blast using them in my iMessage conversations.
There are obviously so many more kaomoji we could add to the app, reply with your favorites and we’ll...

Thrilled to finally launch @Rando. The app was so fun to build, and hopefully just as fun to use. It's a great way to surface and share random photos, GIFs, and quotes. And if you dare, send them blindly. It’s a fun, almost gimmicky app, but it also challenges you to think more about what you share and why as well as what embarrassing photos might be lurking on your camera roll!

Great episode! I remember seeing the National Geographic app back in 2012 and being blown away by the visual design AND motion design. I expected that kind of ground breaking app to come from one of the usual suspects, but had no idea who Rally Interactive was. I do now!

I’m so excited to add Quick Actions to Launch Center Pro today. While you can just launch an app, Launch Center Pro has always been about launching actions. And I think it’s a huge confirmation of our use-case that Apple added very similar functionality at the system level. While in some ways it negates the need for Launch Center Pro, it actually makes the app far more powerful in other ways....

After first being rejected for launching apps and actions from Notification Center in 2011, this has been a long time coming! I'm quite excited about this release and now that Apple has given us the green light, there's a lot more we have planned for the widget (including the ability to resize the icons and hide the names). We're also already hard at work trying to figure out what we can do...
