iOS 27 introduces ResultsObserver — observe SwiftData model changes outside SwiftUI views. Perfect for dashboards, summary screens, and analytics that react to data changes. This video builds a budget dashboard that calculates total budget, spent, and remaining — updating automatically when expenses change.

WWDC26 brought new toolbar features to SwiftUI. This video covers iOS 27's toolbar enhancements: new modifiers, placement options, and improvements for navigation bars. Get started with what's changed and how to use the updated APIs in your apps.

iOS 27 introduces Sectioned Queries in SwiftData — group your data directly in the query instead of manually creating dictionaries. This video builds a budgeting app that groups expenses by category using @Query(sectionBy:). No more post‑fetch transformations. Clean, declarative, and efficient.

Stop switching between apps. Build a unified developer terminal toolkit using pure Swift and TUIKit. This video creates three tools in one CLI app: a Pomodoro timer for focus sessions, a Git status viewer for repository health, and a release tracker for version monitoring. All interactive, all in the terminal, all pure Swift.

Xcode 27 is here. This quick start guide tours the workspace, creating projects and files, the new agentic coding assistance, Device Hub (evaluate your apps across Apple devices), and the asset catalog. Get up to speed with what's new.

You don't need ncurses or C bindings to build terminal apps in Swift. TUIKit is a pure Swift toolkit for creating interactive command-line interfaces — menus, colored output, user input handling, and more. This getting started guide walks through installation, basic components, and building your first interactive terminal tool.

New SwiftUI APIs are great — until you need to support iOS versions that don't have them. This video shows practical techniques for backporting modern SwiftUI modifiers, views, and patterns to older OS versions without abandoning your deployment target.

SwiftData + SwiftUI = magic. SwiftData + UIKit = confusion. In SwiftUI, views automatically refresh when data changes. In UIKit, nothing happens. This video explains why UIKit doesn't have SwiftUI's observation system, common misconceptions, and practical approaches to make SwiftData work in your existing UIKit codebase.

Claude Opus 4.8 is here – and this video builds a native macOS app around it. Get writing suggestions, improvements, and summaries, all inside a real Mac app (not a web wrapper). Source code included so you can test, modify, or ship your own version.

Apple already shipped AI models onto your Mac. If you're running Apple Silicon with macOS 26+ and Apple Intelligence enabled, you have Foundation Models sitting there – no API key, no subscription, no cloud. This video explores Apfel, an open-source command-line tool that unlocks them for local use.
