We love that Apple shares our goal of building products that make us better, more capable humans (building “bicycles for the mind”) rather than making us less human. We’ve had products ready to ship on day one for many of their product launches over the past few decades, including Mac OS X, their first Intel Macs, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and their first Apple Silicon Macs. We develop for Apple’s platforms because we love being on the cutting edge of new technology. But, quoting Tim Cook again, “… in the same way that Mac introduced us to personal computing and iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro will introduce us to spatial computing.” Now, we don’t expect this first generation Vision Pro to be adopted by everyone, any more than first generations of Apple’s other platforms-the Apple II, 128K Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch-were adopted by everyone. (There’s still plenty to do, but we had our apps running within an hour of receiving the SDK!) Imagine using OmniGraffle without the constraints of a physical screen! It’s still early-but with yesterday’s release of the visionOS simulator, imagining that future just got a little easier. Use your apps anywhere and make them any size you want.” Your surroundings become an infinite canvas. With Vision Pro, you’re no longer limited by a display. Tim Cook introduced it as “a new kind of computer that augments reality by seamlessly blending the real world with the digital world. Peering even further ahead, we look forward to bringing all of our products to Apple’s new spatial computing platform! The first product capable of running Apple’s visionOS platform will be Apple Vision Pro, which will launch sometime next year. OmniGraffle 8 is also now in TestFlight on Mac, and we look forward to shipping both apps as soon as possible! And, as always, you can expect all our apps to be updated and ready for the latest operating systems when they ship this fall. Redesigning and rebuilding OmniFocus has been a multi-year effort, and we’re extremely pleased with the builds of OmniFocus 4 currently available in TestFlight on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. We’re continuing full steam ahead on OmniFocus 4 and OmniGraffle 8. We’re pleased to report that none of this year’s advancements impede our plans for this year. (The full lineup presented at WWDC means the Mac’s transition to Apple Silicon is now complete!) We’re looking forward to working with the new features in macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS, like interactive widgets and SharePlay enhancements-and we’ve already started using some of the great new Mac hardware they’ve introduced. This month’s WWDC certainly brought plenty of those improvements!Īpple gave us a number of great new tools and platform updates-and introduced a whole new computing platform with an operating system for the future. We always approach WWDC with one eye towards the possibility that our development efforts may be disrupted by improvements in our environment.
