It offers JSON formatting, Base64 conversion, and more. An invitation to WWDC provided the developer with a significant opportunity to enhance the app. ## Collaboration with Apple Meetings with Apple engineers shaped Devly's new version. This collaboration significantly improved the app's functionality and user experience. The developer incorporated direct feedback from Apple to refine the app. ## New Features Devly v2.1 introduces Liquid Glass UI, quick switch (⌘P), and terminal integration. Users can now switch between tools instantly and access them directly from the terminal. All features run locally, ensuring privacy. ## Privacy and Cost Devly does not track user data and requires no subscription. A one-time payment of $4.99 grants access to all features. This offers developers an affordable and secure solution for their daily tools. ## User Experience The app can be used from the menu bar or in a standalone window. Users can quickly access frequently used tools like QR code generation and color conversion, streamlining their workflow. ## Contribution to Developer Community Devly's update is a significant step in meeting developer needs. With Apple's support, the app aims to expand its toolset and functionality, providing even more value to the developer community in the future. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1uufets/apple_invited_me_to_wwdc_because_of_my_menu_bar/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
