iOS Dev Tools: Diagnostics, ZIP Foundation, WebKit
The best tools at your fingertips.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm almost done with the iOS Dev Tools website/blog. The developer is working on a few small fixes, so we'll be ready to publish the first content in 2025.
If you're interested in writing a review, producing some other content, or participating in any other way, please reply to this email. As I'm working alone on this, extra help is always welcome.
Lastly, every time you like ❤️ or comment 💬 on each issue, it helps me reach more people and motivates me to keep going.
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝
If you have a tool that solves a developer problem, I would love to help you reach iOS developers - hi@iosdev.tools

Soulver
I bought this last week. I saw a review on YouTube. I would describe it as a notebook and calculator in one. Just tell him what to calculate, and it's done.
Loom
Loom isn't just for Mac, but I've been using it for years. I have been using it daily for the last 5-6 years. In my opinion, screen recording is the best way to send instructions to someone.
