Essayist for Mac is a game-changer! As someone who just finished my master's thesis, I wish this was available earlier. Formatting in Word was such a headache. More tools like this for research and academics, please!

DREDGE on iPad looks interesting. We need more games with Indian mythology themes though. Imagine a game based on Mahabharata or Ramayana with this level of polish! The potential is huge.

Respectfully, while these apps are impressive, I hope Apple also focuses on making their ecosystem more affordable in countries like India. The Vision Pro and even some iPads are out of reach for many talented creators here.

The Detail app for video editing on iPad is a win for content creators! With so many YouTubers and influencers in India now, tools that simplify professional editing are always welcome. More regional language support would be the cherry on top. 🎬

Strava on Apple Watch is fantastic for tracking my morning runs in Bengaluru. But the real winner is HBO Max adding ASL content. Inclusivity matters everywhere. Hope Indian OTT platforms take note and add more accessibility features.
