Launch: Sessions

Update: The videos in Apple’s Developer app can now be resized, Sessions is no longer supported.

Sessions is a free Mac app for watching WWDC session videos.

The Sessions app on Mac, showing a grid of WWDC22 session video thumbnails with a topic sidebar.

I made it because the videos in Apple’s Developer app are too small and not resizable:

In Sessions, the video view looks like this: A WWDC session playing in Sessions, with the video filling the width of the window above the session notes and resource links.

That’s it. That’s the only feature. The app is probably worse than the Developer app in every other way. If you’re interested, you can download it here.

Note: Sessions does not auto-update itself. You must visit this page and manually download new versions as needed.
