Thank you to Claude for sponsoring the show.

All right, let's do some Ask ATP.

And Alex Kent writes, you occasionally remind me that running iOS apps on macOS is a thing.

I was excited about this capability before it shipped.

Years later, I find zero iOS apps that I regularly run on macOS.

I can partly blame the allow this app to run on macOS checkbox in App Store Connect that apparently most corporate developers disable out of habit.

But I'm also not sure that the experience of running iOS apps on macOS beats using the corresponding web app or picking up my phone.

What iOS apps do you find useful to run on macOS?

I echo a lot of what Alex is saying here.

I was pretty excited about the thought of doing such things when it was the sparkle in Apple's eye.

But in reality, I almost never use this.

And for a lot of things, I would reach for iPhone mirroring before I would reach for installing an app on my Mac.

That being said, the only thing I can think of offhand is Channels, which does have a web app, but it's mostly about management.

It's not really about consumption.

And if there was any weak part of Channels, which is a former sponsor and a friend of mine is one of the co-founders.

But anyways, if there's a weak spot about Channels, it's that the web user interface, particularly for the purposes of consumption, is really not great.
