Turn a reference photo into a palette you can actually paint from.

Painters work from photographs all the time, and the hard part is not picking colours — it is understanding how they relate. ArtistLab extracts a living palette from any photo, then lets you rebuild it: rotate harmonies, study the distribution on the wheel and preview how a paint really reads over the background you plan to use.

• Colour Lab — colour wheel, harmonies and distribution analysis of your reference
• Paint Lab — paint appearance over a chosen background: opacity, coverage, texture
• Non-destructive by design — one source of truth, so editor, library, preview and export can never disagree
• Local library and export — everything works offline, on device
• ArtistLab Pro — StoreKit 2 subscription with restore, entitlement checks and a free tier that never locks you out of your own work

A mood journal that feels like a real diary, not a form.

Most mood trackers are a rating and a text field. MyMood is built around the object it is imitating: you pick a cover, a paper, the ornaments and the ruling, and the app that comes out the other side is yours. Underneath it is a proper journal — entries with photos and voice, a calendar, and charts that show what the last month actually looked like.

• Entries with mood, notes and photos, plus voice dictation for the days you would rather talk than type
• Insight charts in Swift Charts, with a calendar and daily agenda
• Biometric app lock — a private journal has to actually be private
• A design system of covers, papers, ornaments and rulings built as composable tokens
• Reminders, so the habit survives the first week

The screens above are from the 2.0 update, still in progress — the version currently on the App Store looks different.

Stock control for small shops, without the typing.

Inventory apps fail for the same reason: nobody wants to type. StoreFlow removes the keyboard from the critical path — scan the barcode, or say what came in and confirm it — and turns what is left into a dashboard the owner will actually read.

• Barcode scanning with VisionKit for fast in and out
• Voice logging with confirmation, so a mis-heard number never silently lands in the data
• Metrics dashboard in Swift Charts, plus CSV export for the accountant
• Swift 6 with feature-based MVVM, a services layer and its own design system
