Got tired of paying for tools that should be free.

Opened my terminal. 30 minutes later, I had my own voice-to-text app running.

Then I thought... how hard is it to actually design an iOS app?

Set a 30 min timer. Went into Figma. Hard stopped when it went off. Told Claude what I was seeing in my head, gave it the interactions, and it built it.

Couple more prompts. Done.

First iOS app. My own tool. No subscription. And most importantly... IT LOOKS COOL ASF.

YOU CAN JUST BUILD THINGS.

If you’re a designer scared to start, follow along. I’m sharing exactly how I went from knowing nothing about code to shipping my own apps.

I unfortunately can't share this to the app store due to them not allowing published apps be so simple, and i'm only offering voice to text haha :( would love to if I could!

@Contra is cool. But it hits different when you connect with people who Design. If you’re into design, web design, UI/UX, branding, front-end, or creative dev say hi

Hey guys, — I'm designing iOS app concept for digital wellness experience and sharing some views here.

This design explores how a sleep tracking and meditation platform can guide users from their evening wind-down to a fresh start the next morning, blending intuitive iOS architecture with a deeply calming atmosphere.

Designed with native iOS patterns in mind, featuring fluid transitions, intuitive gestures.

Soft, adaptive gradients and refined typography work together to reduce cognitive load, ensuring the interface itself promotes relaxation.

My first app update is live on App Store and with it I added a dark mode to the app interface. What's your preference.. light or dark

This result can be variable perhaps. Most people use contra on desktop, and the white version. So you get maximum votes for the white one because your white design is more focused than the dark one in the white contra version.
