Somebody at Apple had a meeting and came out of it saying, “Yes. Put Freeform in the dock by default. On every Mac.” #imaginethemeeting

The icon for Apple’s Freeform app, which no one has ever discovered the purpose of. It was a fever dream conceived early in the COVID-19 pandemic by an eager product manager, who thought Apple might have a wonderful complement to Zoom for collaboration or creation. By the time it shipped years later, no one could remember why it was even created. To this day, it has never been opened by a single user except by accident.
