Okay bestie, grab your $3,500 goggles because the Vision Pro app situation is getting unhinged.
Apple's spatial computer launched with a pretty bare-bones app store, and the internet collectively went "that's it?" But fast forward and developers are now dropping apps that range from genuinely useful to straight-up fever dream.
Apps like Zoom and Webex finally let you float giant meeting windows around your living room like you're running a NASA control room.
Microsoft's Word and Excel hit the headset too, so yes, you can now squint at spreadsheets in mixed reality while your neck slowly files a complaint.
Streaming apps like Disney+ and Max turned the headset into a personal IMAX, and NBA fans can watch games on a virtual courtside seat that genuinely feels illegal.
Movie night hits different when the screen is the size of a billboard and your popcorn is actually safe from your dog.
Developers are cooking up stuff like virtual pet apps where you feed a floating blob, meditation apps that trap you in a zen cave, and even a spatial version of a certain fruit-slicing game that will absolutely make you punch a wall.
There's an app that turns your room into a dinosaur safari.
Another lets you DJ with floating turntables.
The App Store is basically a meme generator with a headset strapped to it.
Apple's been quietly pushing spatial apps into the mainstream by highlighting them at keynotes and dropping new developer tools.
Big names are jumping in, and indie devs are farming clout with niche ideas that would never work on a phone.
The result is an app library that feels less like "the future of computing" and more like a chaotic playground where nobody knows the rules yet.
Real talk: if you already own a Vision Pro, the apps are finally giving you a reason beyond watching a giant screen alone in your apartment.
If you don't own one, this is still peak window-shopping content — the vibes are immaculate, but your wallet is safe for now.
The Vision Pro app scene is lowkey the most fun mess in tech right now.
It's not ready for everyone, but watching developers yeet wild ideas at a wall is exactly how the next big platform gets built.
Final Thoughts
Give it a year and half these apps will feel normal — the other half will still be dinosaurs.
