I made an app.
A slightly different project for me.
For years, I’ve tracked my daily habits using an orange Post-it note. Write down what I want to get done, tick it off, start again tomorrow.
I’d tried habit tracking apps, but always ended up back with the Post-it. I didn’t need dashboards, streaks, graphs or endless features. I just wanted something simple.
So I decided to build it myself.
Takto is my first iOS app — designed and built from scratch, taking it from an idea and some early Figma designs through to a real product on the App Store.
As a UX designer rather than a developer, a big part of the project was seeing how far I could push myself outside my usual role, using AI to help me actually build and ship the thing rather than stopping at a prototype.
The result is deliberately small. Add your habits. Do them. Tick them off. Your progress gradually fills the screen throughout the day.
No grand startup plan behind it. I wanted to make something I’d genuinely use, learn how to build a real product, and actually get it out into the world.
Quite nice seeing something that started as an orange Post-it sitting on my desk become an actual app.

Clean design👍
30 million people use @airalo. I redesigned the whole app to look like it was made for Gen Z, not at them.
The details are on point!
