WWDC For Mac

WWDC events can be watched only via the Apple website, and only if you are using the Safari web browser. The WWDC macOS application provides an alternative solution in this case.

If Apple is currently streaming a WWDC event, the application will automatically open it in a built-in video player. Moreover, you have the opportunity to watch again past events without going through any trouble.

Within the WWDC application, you can see the list of scheduled events as well as recorded WWDC events filtered by year, operating system, or focus. WWDC can also keep track of favorite entries, unwatched and downloaded content.

WWDC provides a small description for the current selection and automatically refreshes the list, which will prove to be very useful during the WWDC week.

The WWDC app integrates a small search tool that can help you find specific events faster and also queries the events transcripts. WWDC displays the transcript search results right below the video player.

Within the WWDC video player you get to control the playback speed, set bookmarks, or toggle the subtitles or the picture in picture function.

When you finish watching the video, the app automatically marks it as read, but you can also perform this action manually.

Noteworthy is that WWDC comes with ASCIIWWDC integration, which means that you can see the event transcript, search for specific terms, and quickly jump to different points on the video's timeline.

The WWDC app is a great tool to have around if you want to make sure that you are not missing any of the WWDC events streamed by Apple during the WWDC week.

At the same time, the utility offers you the possibility to watch again the recording of any WWDC event and even enables you to search the transcripts to find the subjects that interest you.
