Sky, an innovative macOS application developed by the original creators of Shortcuts, is poised to revolutionize user experience by bringing AI-powered automation to Macs. This mind-blowing app, set to launch later this year, allows users to extend AI integration and automation capabilities system-wide. Early testers, including Federico Viticci, have expressed immense excitement, drawing parallels to the transformative impact of Editorial and Workflow, apps previously associated with members of the Sky team.
The developers behind Sky, Ari Weinstein, Conrad Kramer, and Kim Beverett at Software Applications Incorporated, have been secretly working on the project since 2023. Sky aims to be more intuitive than its predecessors, harnessing the power of AI and large language models (LLMs) to streamline tasks and workflows. Viticci, who has had exclusive access to Sky for the past two weeks, believes it will fundamentally change how users approach macOS automation. He felt the same excitement when first trying Editorial, Workflow, and Shortcuts.
Simultaneously, Apple is expected to unveil a major software rebrand at WWDC 2025, headlined by the introduction of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, visionOS 26, tvOS 26, and watchOS 26. This strategic shift involves moving away from traditional version numbers to a year-based system, mirroring a practice seen in the past with Windows. This change aims to reflect significant operating system redesigns and simplify branding for both users and developers. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests this would create consistency across Apple's platforms.
