Part 2: I posted a 3D case clip the other day and it wasn't clear, so here's how it works

I posted a clip here a couple of days ago of a Spider-Man 2 game case opening in 3D, and judging by the comments, I didn't explain it well. Here's a clearer look.

It's basically a photo, just not flat. You take two photos of your case, and the app turns them into a 3D version you can turn over and open, so you see the back, the spine, and the inside too. A few people read it as digital replacing physical, which isn't the idea. The real case stays on the shelf, and you need yours to make one. It's just photos.

The appeal for them is keeping track of what they own and seeing everything without pulling out each case, marking what they've finished, and checking the gallery for rare editions other people post.

This clip shows the whole thing: photographing a real case, opening it in the app, and putting the case back. And the cool thing is sharing it in the public gallery where you can see other people's posts, all anonymous!

It's a hobby project, and I'm trying it out with a small group on TestFlight. If you want to try it, let me know. Honest feedback welcome, good or bad.

How do you guys track your dog’s walks?

Do any of you actually track your walks? like distance/time per dog?

I've been logging every walk with my dog percy for like 2 months (started in my Apple fitness app lol) and it’s cute to look back on.

I ended up building a little app for it for something fun to look back on . But for those of you doing this professionally with 5+ dogs how do you keep track of who did what? just memory?

I think I'm addicted to developing for the iPhone Duo

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share about my dog app, Zoomie, running on iPhone Duo. The big inside screen exposed a problem: some things adapted on their own, but most of the app just looked stretched out.

Since then, I've been redesigning it to take advantage of the extra space. The app now adjusts its layout depending on whether the phone is fully open, partly folded, or closed.

My favorite part is the walking screen. When the phone is half-folded, like a tiny laptop, your dog's walk info shows up on one half, and the controls sit on the other. I got the idea from the Netflix demo at the launch event, where the video plays on the top half, and the controls sit below.

Still early, but it's already feeling a lot better. Would love to hear what you think!

I think I'm addicted to developing for iPhone Duo 🫠

Zoomie is up on the App Store completely free! If you know a dog owner, send it their way 🐶

Hello hoomans 🐶, I mean dog owners. Meet Zoomie, an activity tracker for your dog!

Hey everyone,

So I've got a dog named Percy, and for a while now I've been building this thing called Zoomie on the side. Figured I'd finally share it and see what people think.

The idea started pretty simply: I close my Apple Fitness rings every day, and at some point I wondered why there's nothing like that for the time I spend with Percy. Walks, playtime, all of it — I had no real sense of how much I was actually doing versus how much I thought I was doing. So I built the same "close your rings" concept, but for dogs.

There are three rings.

Paws tracks the steps your dog takes, using your phone during playtimes that involve movement.

Playtime is just minutes spent together — walk, fetch, couch cuddles, doesn't matter what kind.

Wags are moments you tap to mark during a playtime, a bark, a potty stop, a treat, a photo, whatever feels worth logging in that moment. Fill all three in a day and you get a "Zoomie."

Building it has been fun in the way side projects are fun — I'd add a feature purely because I wanted it for Percy and me, not because it made sense on a roadmap. The onboarding flow ended up as a little gamified intro.

It's free, no subscription, nothing tracked off-device. Dropping a link in the comments if anyone wants to poke at it.

Let me know what you think, good or bad — I'd rather hear it now than not at all.

Rebuilt my notes app after hearing feedback, along with a Live Demo how it uses Siri AI

Hey everyone,

I recently overhauled my notes app: Fog.

Write a note, get a suggested title. Keep it, change it, ask for another — it never changes again on its own.

Select a few notes and group them — Fog names the folder and summarizes what's inside.

Talk to it: "add to my dentist note," "move groceries to Errands" — Siri understands it because Fog speaks Apple's own notes vocabulary.

Can't remember where you wrote something? Ask it directly, and it'll answer in a sentence, pulled straight from your own notes. SiriAI features will be available once iOS27 launches.

Also, first time doing a irl voicover video like this; honest thoughts appreciated!

Fog is free to download and use; notes stay on your device and never leave.

Fog: A privacy-first notes app where AI suggests, but you decide

Hey everyone,

A while back I built Fog, a notes app that tried to auto-organize everything for you. It turns out taking all the control away created more friction than it solved.

So I rebuilt it. The new philosophy is simple: Fog takes away the tedious admin work, but leaves the decisions to you.

What you can test:

  • Smart Title Proposals: Proposes a title as you write, but never overwrites your edits.
  • Smart Folders: Group notes manually, and Fog generates a group title and summary.
  • Siri App Intents: Say "Jot down in Fog", "Add to my dentist note", or "Move groceries to Errands" in plain English.
  • Ask Your Notes: On-device search using Apple's Foundation Models.

Tech Stack: Built natively with SwiftUI, SwiftData, App Intents, Core Spotlight, and Apple's local Foundation Models. 100% on-device and offline-first.

Looking for feedback on performance, Siri reliability, and general UX.

Hello hoomans 🐶, I mean dog owners. Meet Zoomie, an activity tracker for your dog!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a pet project I’ve been working on called Zoomie, an activity tracker for your dog!

The idea is pretty simple: closing your rings, but for your dog. There are three rings you can achieve to earn a “Zoomie”:

  • Paws: Steps your dog takes, counted by your phone during playtimes that track movement.
  • Playtime: Minutes you spend together during any playtime, whether that’s a walk, a game of fetch, or a cuddle.
  • Wags: Moments you mark during a playtime — a bark, a potty stop, a treat, a photo, etc. Every one you tap counts.

Zoomie is still in its early stages, but I want to test the idea to see whether it makes sense and whether there’s any interest.

Whether you already spend a lot of time with your dog and want a fun place to track it, or maybe the app encourages you to spend even more time together, I’d love to hear what you think.

Please share your honest thoughts on what works, what doesn’t, what you’d change, or even feature requests you have through the TestFlight app.

How does my Liquid Glass onboarding look for my app?

Hey everyone,

Solo dev here developing my first app Fog: a simple notes app that organizes itself using on device AI. It auto names and auto groups your notes for you.

Wondering if showcasing what the app does thru these glass effect cards looks good in onboarding. Any feedback is appreciated thanks!

Edit: Thank you all for the feedback and criticism. This is my first app and will definitely learn a lot from it. If you’re interested feel free to download Fog, free on the App Store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fog-on-device-ai-notes/id6760272134

Is the AI voice annoying in my video?

Keep or remove it? For context I’m using the kite video editing tool.

Seeking feedback for my first app, struggling to get users

Hey everyone,

Launched my first app Fog a while back but struggling to get users. It’s a notes app that organizes itself using on device AI. Works fully offline and data is stored on device.

Would appreciate any feedback!
