I’m looking for new apps to try out. I have a soft spot for apps that are written in Swift or at least follow Apple’s HIG. I’m also curious to know what you use these apps for!

Overcast!! — such a great podcast app
If you use an iPad Pro, the overcast layout is just stilly looking. I switched back to the Podcasts app. I heard he’s working on updating the UI, and I’ll try it again when it’s redone.
I bought it when it was a one time purchase. I love it a lot. Apparently it’s subscription now? It’s good but I wouldn’t rent it. I’m pretty much a hard no on anything with a subscription.
Right. The free version is good, it just shows ads for other podcasts… but I love the app and want Marco to keep developing it. So I paid.
Alfred and Rectangle are essential Mac apps.
What would you say makes Marvis Pro superior to the built in app? For $10 I want to make sure it’s worth it.
The first and foremost thing for me is aesthetics. I love being able to customize all of the colors and blur effects and button layout. Additionally, I like the gesture support within the UI. Lastly, I love how it integrates with Last.fm so all of my scrobbles are synced up without needing to scan.
I would not consider it a must have, but it makes so many quality of life improvements for apple music listeners.
