@sequel’s media details screen is getting a bold redesign for iOS 26. My goal has always been to put your content first by leaning into the richness of the media itself.
Inspired by Liquid Glass’ focus on content, the new design is both more expressive and more functional. It brings key information above the fold and, of course, it looks great on iPad too!

It took a lot of work to keep scrolling smooth and to make sure content stayed legible but I think it was worth it.
There are a lot of subtle changes that build upon feedback I've received in the last couple of years. And this redesign also lays the foundation for future improvements and features that wouldn’t have been possible before.
@rlfb Looks really great 🤩 Sequel is one of those apps where Liquid Glass could look very nice. A lot of images, backgrounds - and it shows here!
Can't wait!
I've seen a lot of mixed feelings about Liquid Glass. It’s not perfect, but has improved a lot since beta 1. For Sequel, it just felt like the right fit.
I didn’t have to redesign Sequel for iOS 26. Instead, I tried to find synergies with my existing plans that could be better served by the new design. Like changes I was reluctant to bring with the iOS 18 aesthetic. In the end, I believe this new design genuinely improves the experience. I hope you’ll agree once you try it!
