The WWDC app is an unofficial application for macOS designed to enhance the experience of following Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. Developed by Guilherme Rambo and open-sourced on GitHub, it allows users to watch the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union live, as well as access and manage videos for all sessions released during WWDC week.
The app includes several features tailored to make navigating WWDC content more manageable. These include the ability to watch videos at various speeds, fullscreen and native picture-in-picture support, and easy navigation through video transcripts available in multiple languages.
Users can keep track of the videos they've watched or wish to watch, and take notes for future reference. The app also includes a bookmarking feature that allows users to mark specific points in videos and add annotations, making it easier to revisit key moments.
The WWDC app supports iCloud sync across Macs, ensuring that favorites, bookmarks, and video progress are up-to-date. It also enables easy sharing of session links, which can be opened in the app or on Apple's developer website.
As an open-source project, contributions are welcome, with guidelines available for those interested in participating. The development process involves several third-party libraries for data storage, automatic updates, and networking, among other functionalities.
