Let's see how this will go… At least they seem to be shipping the sidebar any day now.

For iOS 16+, you can set the categoryName in an IntentDescription type.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/intentdescription

It can be used in the description type property by all types conforming to the AppIntent protocol.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/appintent/description

And for iOS 17+, it can used in the findIntentDescription property in the EnumerableEntityQuery and EntityPropertyQuery protocols (and conforming types).

More here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/integrating-custom-types-into-your-intents#Enable-Find-intents

IntentDescription | Apple Developer Documentation

The human-readable description and metadata for an app intent.

Pretty sure I'm missing something very obvious, but how can I create these sections for my App Intents for the Shortcuts app? #Swift #SwiftUI

Lost count of how many times I wrote WWDC26 and iOS25 today.

The new listSectionIndexVisibility(_:) is a little QoL improvement made for Friendzone in iOS26. 2 lines of code. Love it! #WWDC25 #buildInPublic

The same is pretty much true for CouchTimes running iOS26. I'm still expecting a mid-sized redesign nevertheless... #buildInPublic

Running Friendzone on iOS 26 without any changes could be worse…

A couple of obvious paper cuts and lots to learn and think about to integrate it better (bye custom Tab bar), but it's a better start than I expected. #buildInPublic

First impressions after 15 minutes: Many Liquid Glass controls are less legible and the reflections more distracting than I thought. 😬 #WWDC25

Let's do this... #WWDC25

Let me know what you'd like to see next. Looking into WWDC rumors, this will be a busy summer anyways…

If you like Friendzone, I'd very much appreciate a review on the App Store. ❤️
