10 Awesome iOS Apps You've Never Heard Of!

[@snazzy]

EUREKA! A fine pal has told me you can set Opener to create a default app by long-pressing on the app of choice from the share sheet. Hyper unintuitive but it does indeed work! mastodon.social/@crichton007/110435896881737372

[@raktimsaikia1476]

Recommend some for Android also

[@magumataishi1]

So, is Find hidden? Because I can not find it in the app store. Can you put links to these apps? I have wasted at least a half hour of my life looking for these apps. I went to your twitter,your webpage and searched with filters on/ off iPhone only.thanks.

[@timonus]

Developer of Opener here, I was gonna come here to say this haha. Thank you so much for the shoutout! Really appreciate it.

[@snazzy]

@@magumataishi1 links to the apps have been in the description since the video launched.

[@SpeedyTubaGuy]

Hyperweb can also do a similar thing to open it in any supported app but without having to use the share button. Means it only works in Safari though

[@aheze]

Developer of Find here. Sorry about the crashes - I will get to them :) My internship at apple ends in 2 months, so until then I'm not allowed to push updates, but I should be able to get away with critical fixes. Also, great video. You introduced everything great about Find way better than I could have. Really appreciate it!

[@sherlockmaverick]

Great app! All the best!

[@jskuzma]

Thanks for chiming in! Does Apple actually limit you from working on your own apps while in the employment?

[@Blarnix]

Dude, your app is genuinely amazing so far. It looks great and feels great to use and I am just envious of your design style. If my developments could look 1/100 as cool as yours I’d be happy with life. Also Findcraft is probably the best touch I’ve ever seen in any app.

I prefer to pay for apps once and not a yearly subscription.

the way i get all my app recs from you 🗿 btw unrelated but pls talk about how the app library sucks! maybe apple will listen if a big creator talks about it 🤷‍♂️ i never know where the app i’m looking for is. it should just be alphabetical, maybe with a row/carousel of siri suggestions at the top. but i think the rest should be alphabetical or basically like the mac launchpad

[@LordvanDarc]

You can have an alphabetical list by swiping down while in the library. But I do agree with you, also it often changes sorting because you use some apps more often than others.

[@minandychoi8597]

[@Ivan-Kh]

I use Macs but Android phones due to the limitations of iOS. I've been considering trying an iPhone once they switch to USB-C, but I think your demo of Opener might keep me off of iOS for a while. Being able to open things in the right apps is such basic functionality that I didn't even consider that iOS might not have it built in. It's embarrassing that that app has to exist.

[@Crusader1089]

I am very much in the same boat. I have an iPad and a MacBook but an S23. The iPhone is huge and absurdly powerful but I can't have two apps open side by side? Bizarre limitations.

[@_adonisk]

The funny thing is, it gets even worse if you use 3rd party browsers like Chrome for example. I got the 14 pro and I'm absolutely baffled by some of the UX decisions on iOS.

[@joeykeilholz925]

Yep. Apple sucks ass right now.

[@JacquesCoetzerAU]

@@Crusader1089 What's an example of you using two apps side-by-side? Genuinely curious, because I switched from Samsung many years ago and I don't miss the side-by-side feature at all. Like the iPhone processor is so fast at multitasking/swiping between apps using the home bar, that it becomes essentially a non-issue. I don't know that I've ever seen any of my friends or family with Android phones ever using the side-by-side functionality. It seems like such a niche-feature that's just carried over from desktops with larger screen real-estate and forced into a smaller screen but then again, Android folks love their gimmicky pointless features (I speak from experience cause I used to be like that).

[@Crusader1089]

@@JacquesCoetzerAU I use it pretty much every day or at least several times a week having one app for notes and another for research. Or one app for puzzles and another for hints. It's not a "must have feature" but it is something I would feel frustrated and constrained not to have. Like, sure, I'd just adapt, but still It's a feature I cannot understand why iOS doesn't implement. It would be like if we still had someone using DOS saying "why would I want a desktop? I only ever run one program at a time"

[@orion10x10]

I don't even try to look for iOS apps, they're all subscription based and it's so annoying. I love my MacBook because it has tons of free and open source software for it, I will take a slightly worse app that I can just buy and not have to worry about paying for it forever, on iOS that often isn't possible. Serious buyers regret almost a year after I bought this iPhone 14 Pro Max

Well lots of the apps here (Set App aside) aren't subscription based. They do exist :)

[@orion10x10]

@@Daphoid Right yeah that's why I have to come here lmao, I can't just search them, every single one is a subscription and I need a KZbinr to find one's that aren't. many of these have subscription versions they're trying to upsell you on and I'm so done.

just as useful music harbour is, music box is very useless music never finds space in your mind unless you let it play a few times and playing the music would anyway need you to play through the apple music api which tracks your activity if you ever even got the ability to play from the app which you don’t

[@f52_yeevy]

Thanks for making me discover MusicBox! I've been spending hours trying to build a satisfactory system within an Excel spreadsheet (which might still work better for youtube videos, maybe), but that app is SO much better!

[@jornstobbe6735]

That’s an interesting idea re: YT video inventory. Of all the apps mentioned above music box sounds a whole lot of fun and super useful . Only now that I’ve read your comment I realise sth similar for YT videos could also be very convenient. What type of headings / categories have you chosen? Any tips on what works well etc. I might look into doing sth similar unless an app for YT videos already exists outside of YT folders. Cheers.

[@f52_yeevy]

@@jornstobbe6735 I forgot to say that, of course, filters and automatic sorting have a BIG role in this. The Genre and Subgenre tabs serve specifically the role of containing keywords for my searches, that's what allows me to have all different kind of things inside a single table

[@f52_yeevy]

​@@jornstobbe6735 @jornstobbe6735 Thank s for your interest, I also think that a personal yt videos archive would be a great app! Anyway, my setup is very much subject to change, as I'll remove superfluous features and optimize others. I use this system both for recording what I've listen to and what I still have to listen to but isn't available on Apple Music/has more interesting and complete resources (eg. score videos for classical music) on other platforms). I have a main worksheet, where I insert every piece/album etc on a new row and have the following columns: NR: this is just for tracking the growth of my list over time, and also having hyperlinks leading me to the second worksheet I, which I'll talk about later. LISTENING STATUS: a combination of dropdown menus and conditional formatting (if any of these things are new to you, please ask) allows me to update with two clicks the color of each cell to visually represent whether I have listened to, have listened to just partially, haven't listened to at all, or I haven't listened to at all AND really want to listen to it asap. AUTHOR TITLE TYPE: is it a piece? an album? a compilation or playlist? something else entirely? MACROGENRE: eg. classical, jazz, rock, electronic, very broad terms to categorize my music SUBGENRE: eg. baroque, bebop, ambient, progressive rock and many more specific terms I use just for reference, since trying to be perfectly precise in this column would pretty much impossible unless I wasted my life on it YEAR LENGTH isFAVORITE?: colored checkboxes for my favorite pieces (don't use normal Excel checkboxes, they're slow af. you can find a forum article with some very useful VBA code (a macro) that does just the same, but better RB: "Recommended By, for writing some friends or others who have recommended specific things. Miscellaneous NOTES: it varies. Of course, I do not compile every column for every entry, I'd say that only the first four are essential, I might deletes some of the other ones. The next worksheet instead contains links to score videos, interviews, articles, analyses etc related to the entries. I use formulas to automatically transcribe each title from the previous worksheet at the beginning of each row, so that I always know where to write what. Then, I have a worksheet for other reference links related to music but not necessarily specific artists or albums, such as tutorials, cool KZbin channels. I won't delve on the organization of this last part in this comment, it's already long enough. Finally, there's one that I use for generating formulas and testing solutions.
