I could name a few:

- 3rd party AirPlay receiver apps (you can stream to Macs with new macOS)

- Universal Control looks very Synergy-like (I don't know of an iOS alternative, but surely nobody is going to try compete with Apple now)

- Xcode Cloud - arguably competition to rent-a-mac services like MacStadium

- SharePlay probably will replace SyncTube for a lot of folks

Xcode Cloud is the result of Apple's purchase of BuddyBuild from a few years ago. It's more competition to CI services like Circle and Travis (and any others that support Mac builds) than straight up Mac hosting like MacStadium.

To be fair, it's both because you can't really run a CI for Xcode builds on anything besides Mac hardware.

More like Corellium since Apple tried to buy them, failed, then tried to lawyer them to death, with the DMCA claim afaik still undecided:

if FaceTime really does land on Android and Web I would say it’d be possible that Zoom got Sherlocked today too. given their black eyes around privacy Apple’s offering seems a lot more appealing than Zoom’s imho

Zoom has a few features that are incredibly useful/needed for some people (e.g. breakout rooms) and afaik FaceTime doesn't have them.

It will require some major effort from apple to overtake it, it's not just being cross platform

i feel like making breakout rooms at this point is not as hard as making FaceTime for web/Android. they can basically pick and chose the features they like at this point.

sure, but there's plenty of videoconferencing software who still don't support it.

And there's more! Dial-in, guest access, persistent rooms with/without password, organization-level restrictions, automatic recording, cloud upload of videos etc..

It's not a technical problem for Apple to do everything Zoom does, but it'd be a massive product shift to try to it.

And I just bought a license for AirServer last week

I think my own app, Unreplied, just got Sherlocked actually. It never had a huge user base but it would let you view unreplied iMessages (as the name implied). On to greener pastures I guess!

It looks like Apple will have a native package tracking widget (at least for iPad), which will kill likely other package tracking apps.
