  • Sherlocked by Sequoia: What apps Apple may have killed in macOS and iOS 18

    I'm one of the over small developers who's livelihood will be impacted by the free Passwords app from Apple.  I first created My Eyes Only in 2008 and it has remained relevant eve since. MEO does way more than passwords, so it is way more useful the just as a password app. 

    But... A free app is hard to complete with, especially one from a three trillion dollar company.  What is worse, Apple refuses to open it's APIs for developers to compete with first the KeyChain and now Passwords. The same is true for PassKey.  When a user in Safari, creates a new account in an online service, Apple's OSs will ask the use if they want to save it in the Keychain. Apple does not give a user the option to save it in My Eyes Only, because app has not exposed and API for develops to utilize.  Same for PassKey, no developer APIs to make it fair for developers. 

    Apple could take the moral high ground and open it's APIs, but they rather beat the loyal longtime small developer into pulp. Apple could also take even higher ground and buy out the competition. They could at least make offers to developers. But no, they rather beat the loyal longtime small developer into pulp.
