Inwards
— iOS App Design and DevelopmentA meditation timer for iOS. Solo design and build.
There are apps that allow you to log your mood. But the problem is that they only capture, like a bookmark, and then to revisit it you need to go to some log and view it there. There is no surface for your emotions to be visible all the time. So I decided to create this surface. This is Inwards, a meditation and mood logger where you always see your recent state visually.
Scope
iOS app design and development. Solo project, shipped to the App Store.
Stack
SwiftUI, SwiftData, Firebase (presence counter only).
Interaction details
- Screen transitions use a blur dissolve instead of slide/cut, softer than the system default.
- Emotion-gradient system is a four-slot queue with positional randomness; same emotions in the same order never look the same twice.
- Live "X present" counter, no auth, just a number, because meditation is solo but it's nice to know someone else is sitting too.
