All Apple Vision Pro apps give something unique to the wearer, that feels different thanks to Apple's interesting and totally unique headset. Though some apps available are mostly straight ports of existing apps and some are designed specifically for the headset, the act of using them while wearing Apple Vision Pro makes them feel different in a way that other devices can't quite capture.
The Apple Vision Pro has now been out for a month in the US, with an expected launch at some point in the future for the rest of the world. When people outside the US start to get the headset, there should be thousands of specifically designed apps to use but it's still a little limited right now.
Thanks to tech like eye tracking, HDR support, and some fantastic screens, Apple Vision Pro is one of the most interesting pieces of tech that Apple has launched in years. It's a spatial headset, which means apps work in your physical surroundings. Thanks to this unique setup, apps might take a little while longer to arrive.
That all said, here are all the Apple Vision Pro apps that are natively supported on the headset right now.

Apple Vision Apps in development
We had the chance to chat with developers working on Vision Pro apps and here are four we know are in development right now:
Obscura — Obscura is an app designed to get you the most out of your camera, with some very smart controls and settings. In Vision Pro, this could pair with spatial videos excellently.
Delta — Delta is an emulation app that can transport you into a digital environment like a museum or a park.
Game Track — Games Track is a tracking system for keeping an eye on all those games you haven't yet made the time to play through. In Vision Pro, you can finally start to tackle that backlog.
Broadcasts — Broadcasts can be used to stream audio from tonnes of radio stations across the world, which can perfectly accompany whatever Vision Pro environment you find yourself in.
Apple Vision Pro apps we're hoping to see
Though it is an AR headset designed to work in everyday life and not a traditional VR headset intended for games, we still hope to see a few fun titles on there. The likes of Beat Saber could work great in the confines of your living room and even room-scale experiences like Thrill of the Fight or Tea for God could be enhanced by the Vision Pro's impressive Apple Silicon chip. With how much support Apple has thrown behind Apple to put out both Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 on iPhone 15 Pro, it would be great to see a VR Resident Evil in Apple Vision Pro too.
Unfortunately, there isn't a native Netflix app from launch but you can run your iPad version of Netflix on it. Hopefully, we'll see the app arrive in the future. Alongside this, apps like YouTube and TikTok will be welcome additions for when you need an entertainment fix.
Though the headset seems to have some excellent productivity apps so far, it would be nice to see a reason for creatives to check it out too, with optimization for Logic Pro or Procreate. Drawing apps, in particular, could be great for their ability to replicate the feeling of drawing on a real easel. With such a big launch, 2024 seems set to be a big year for Apple fans.
