Mark - Markdown Notes
Mark is a calm Mac notes app for markdown files that already live in a folder you share with someone else — on OneDrive, iCloud Drive or in a git repo. Point Mark at that folder and you get a clean sidebar, file list and editor on top of your existing files. The files on disk stay the source of truth: properties in YAML frontmatter, links as [[wikilinks]], nothing locked into a proprietary database, so the same folder keeps working in Obsidian, Finder or Claude Code.
Beta
Origami Desktop
Plug your iPhone into a display with USB-C, or connect via AirPlay, and it unfolds into a full desktop experience. Your iPhone becomes the trackpad. Use a Bluetooth keyboard, or keep typing with the virtual keyboard.
Beta
Mic Captions
Mic Captions turns spoken audio into easy-to-read captions in real time. Use your iPhone or iPad microphone to follow conversations, lectures, meetings, tv shows, and other spoken content. Mic Captions can also translate captions, save sessions for later review, replay recorded audio alongside the transcript, and help you navigate saved content with Topics and Words.
Beta
Snack: Bookmarks with RSS
An RSS-enabled and browser-focused bookmarking app that helps you keep track of your favorite sites. Allows users to add favorite or frequently visited sites, monitor when they have new content via RSS feeds, and quickly visit those sites. Includes an optional Safari extension to monitor when and how often you've visited your favorite sites and mark RSS items as "read" based on browser visits.
Beta
GameFrame: Gameday Photo Cards
Turn your gameday posts into scroll-stoppers. With one tap, GameFrame automatically finds the teams, score, and venue of your game and turns your photos into meticulously detailed cards that you can post, save, or share.
Beta
Artifacts: Images + Bookmarks
Artifacts is an image + link organizer app for macOS and iOS. A completely native, local first way to save all that stuff you find across the web. The items you save are saved locally and synced to all your devices privately using iCloud. There is currently a free plan for up to 50 items and then a subscription to the Pro plan to unlock unlimited items. You will not be charged during the TestFlight, so don't hesitate to subscribe to test it out. We're still figuring out the exact limits and costs of the plans. This is definitely a beta, and we have a long list of things to polish, but should be mostly stable. Please send any feedback to support@artifacts.app. Thanks for testing!

The Recipe Box To Go
Your perfect kitchen companion is ready for iOS 15. Take advantage of recipe scanning, instant import improvements, and interface enhancements from the new operating system. Please test importing and note any interface oddities.
Beta
Sumi: Graph-based Outline Note
Sumi is a native outliner for Mac, iPhone and iPad that works directly on your Logseq Markdown graph: plain files in a folder you choose, or in iCloud Drive. No database migration, no account, no sync subscription. Journals, pages, links, backlinks, block references, tasks, queries, namespaces and properties work as in Logseq, and the files stay readable by Logseq, Obsidian and any text editor. This is a beta. Sumi edits your files in place, so please try it on a copy of your graph first, or start with the sample graph. Running Logseq on the same graph at the same time is not supported: close one before using the other.

Symbolsaurus
Designers and developers: search the massive SF Symbols icon collection with plain English phrases. Symbolsaurus is a thesaurus for Apple’s free icon collection, cataloguing all the button labels used on a given symbol. It maps technical names like “plus.square.on.square” to actual UI copywriting like "Duplicate". The more apps using specific word with an icon, the higher it ranks in popularity. The more unique ways a symbol in labeled in the wild, the easier it is to find. And if you see something missing, you can contribute to the thesaurus from right inside the app. It doesn’t have everything (yet), but it’s a work in progress and a labor of love. • Search for symbols by their technical names and their synonyms • Search and browse by app to see how popular apps are labeling their UI • See how popular apps use symbols in their UI when you’re writing your own button labels • Copy, share, or drag and drop symbols into other apps like Swift Playgrounds • Check OS compatibility for the ones you want to use in your app

Canvases
Canvases lets you design widgets and update them through Shortcuts.
Beta
Chong
Chong is an accountability journal for people who start projects and stall before finishing them. Every task carries a window: date, time, duration. Miss it and the app puts a short ritual in front of you before you can continue — it names which of five procrastination patterns stopped you, then walks you to the next move. You can name a witness who sees that you showed up and how much you committed, never a word of what you wrote. An AI coach reads your project state and asks the questions that expose where you are actually stuck.
Beta
Trimothy
Trimothy is the Apple native, lightning fast, get-in-and-get-out video editing app of my dreams. The idea is simple: I don't want to create a whole project and library for every little video edit I need to make. Sometimes I just want to quickly combine two videos together, tweak the playback screen, change the audio or music, or add captions to a video. With Trimothy you can do all of these things, export, and then close it out leaving no trace behind. The app is, generally speaking, ephemeral (though I could add some concept of saving project files if that's something people really want.). You can add files by importing, dragging and dropping, copy and pasting, right clicking and "Open with", or from the share sheet.
Beta
iCandy - Icon Manager
iCandy is an application to allow you to organise your collection of ICNS icons. Included are a number of features to make it easy to organise and browse your collection including the ability to organise icons into sets, and sets into folders. The ability to add metadata to icons and icon sets, to search your collection of icons and to browse your collection in a number of ways including grid and list views, to view icons with a specific primary colour, assign and view by tags and more. iCandy offers both the option to save your icons to a local library, or to a library on iCloud.
Beta
Glimshelf
Glimshelf is a privacy-first, offline-first comic and manga reader for your own library on iPhone and iPad. It needs iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. The beta is free, with Pro included throughout testing. Start with one of the included sample comics. No account or server setup is needed. Read a few pages, enlarge some lettering, then close and reopen the book. Was anything hard to find? Did you return to the page you expected? If you already use Komga, Kavita or OPDS, you can connect your library too. Try downloading a book and reading offline, then check your saved position after reconnecting. Glimshelf also opens local CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF and EPUB files. Please use content you have permission to test. Tell us what worked and what got in the way through Send Beta Feedback in TestFlight or support@glimshelf.com. For a problem, include your device and OS version, what you tried and what happened. Use sample content in screenshots and remove private information. Never include passwords, tokens, private server URLs, filenames, titles, page images or account identifiers. This is beta software. Background downloads and sync depend on system scheduling and connectivity. Glimshelf does not upload local diagnostics automatically; Apple/TestFlight may separately collect enabled beta feedback and crash data under Apple's controls. See this build's What to Test notes for the detailed checklist.
Beta
Wonder Coffee
Wonder Coffee is your personal coffee journal and guide to specialty coffee places. Keep track of your coffee beans, save brewing recipes, and record the cups you make. Discover cafés, mark places you want to visit, and remember your favorites. During the beta, please share feedback on everyday use, anything that feels confusing, and any bugs you encounter. Screenshots and a short description of what happened are especially helpful. You can send feedback directly through TestFlight.
