App Debuts

APP DEBUTS

Noteworthy new app releases and updates, handpicked by the MacStories team.

Working Copy

Working Copy, the powerful Git client for iPhone and iPad that I’ve been using for a long time to share and edit drafts of all my articles, received a major update this week that brings full compatibility with iOS and iPadOS 26. The app now sports a fresh Liquid Glass design language and, on the iPad, a native menu bar that makes app commands easier to discover and access. The update introduces several other improvements, including the ability to open files directly in other apps from the context menu without going through the share sheet, and – thanks to Apple Intelligence’s on-device Foundation model – filename suggestions when creating text files from the clipboard.

Behind the Scenes of My iOS and iPadOS 26 Review

Behind the Scenes of My iOS and iPadOS 26 Review

Editor’s Note: There are a couple of complex prompts and code blocks in this story that may not render perfectly in every email client. If you see something that seems off, please consult the web version here.

This year’s research and writing process for my annual iOS and iPadOS review has been very different. Like in previous years, I started taking notes about the new OS versions during the WWDC keynote and, later that week, during briefings at Apple Park. The research process began immediately, and it continued for two and a half months across the entire beta development cycle, until I started writing the review in early September. This has been my approach, timing-wise, for the past three years: I let my thoughts simmer for two months, prepare a detailed outline of everything I’m going to write, and then hit the ground running in early September.
