Swackett version 7 Series is Coming Soon

And it’s something special.

This new version of Swackett will be made available to all Swackett macOS version 5 users — including those marooned in the older 5.1.x versions as a result of our change in ownership (sandboxing issue).

Our latest flagship app for Mac builds on the strength of our IQ Weather Engine — and layers in the very best of Apple’s latest tech — including deep support for macOS Catalina, Big Sur and Swift UI. This combination of technology unlocks the true potential for apps like Swackett.

Coming soon. 😃
