Apple spotlights third-party apps redesigned with liquid glass tech

US tech giant Apple has launched a new section on its Developer website featuring third-party apps redesigned with its Liquid Glass design language, launched with iOS 26 in September.

This move from Apple highlights the adoption of the translucent aesthetic and adaptive layouts across the ecosystem.

The new gallery highlights how “teams of all sizes are taking advantage of the new design and Liquid Glass to create natural, responsive experiences across Apple platforms,” the company said. The gallery presents side-by-side comparisons of older iOS 18 versions and updated iOS 26 versions of popular apps, highlighting the design evolution.

Apps showcased in the gallery include Crumbl, Tide Guide, GrowPal, Lumy, Sky Guide, Linearity, LTK, CardPointers, American Airlines, Lowe’s, Photoroom, OmniFocus 4, CNN, Essayist, and Lucid Motors.

The company mentioned that Linearity, the vector graphics design app, now offers a unified experience across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. On iPad, it introduces a dual-column Inspector for side-by-side editing that adjusts dynamically to window size, while on iPhone, refined touch targets and gestures ensure smoother one-handed use, the company noted.
