 Affirmation AI – iOS App Case Study (AI-Powered Mental Wellness App)
Category: Health & Fitness / Emotional Wellness
Platform: iOS
Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, Core Animation, AVFoundation, Firebase, StoreKit, Custom AI API Integration
My Role: Senior iOS Developer (Frontend features, UI, animations, AI integration)

✨ Project Overview

Affirmation AI is a beautifully designed emotional wellness app that uses AI to generate personalized affirmations based on the user’s moods, stress level, and personal goals. The app blends sound, visuals, breathing motion, and intelligent text generation to deliver a calming, immersive experience.
I worked closely with the founder to build a smooth, peaceful interface, integrate AI-powered content generation, and create interaction patterns that feel supportive and human—not robotic.

🌿 What the App Offers

Personalized AI affirmations based on mood, stress, and goals
Beautiful visual experience with motion, soft gradients, and sound
Category-based emotional assistance (motivation, stress relief, self-love, etc.)
Interactive breathing + affirmation sessions
Calm, spiritual, or tough-love tone options
In-app purchases and premium affirmation sets
Highly immersive reading and listening experience

🔧 My Contributions

1. Built the Entire SwiftUI Interface

I implemented:
Smooth, soft, emotional UI animations
Category selection screens
Personalized tone selector
Stress source picker
Guided affirmation session screens
Custom transitions and motion effects
Everything was crafted to match Figma designs and create a relaxing experience.

2. AI-Powered Affirmation Engine

I integrated the backend AI (OpenAI/Gemini-style APIs) to:
Generate customized affirmations
Adjust tone, length, and focus
Adapt suggestions based on past usage
Provide consistent, empathetic responses
This helped users get affirmations that feel personally relevant.

3. Breathing + Animation System

Affirmation sessions include:
Soft breathing motion
Gentle animations
Timed affirmation text
Background sound
I created a custom animation engine using SwiftUI + Core Animation.

4. Audio & Visual Experience

Ambient sound integration using AVAudioEngine
Smooth fade-ins and fade-outs
Screen-safe light gradients
Haptic feedback for calm interactions
This ensured the entire experience feels immersive and therapeutic.

5. Subscriptions & In-App Purchases

I implemented:
StoreKit purchase flow
Premium affirmation access
Subscription validation
Paywall screens
Restore purchase support
Everything was designed to be frictionless.

6. Performance Optimization

The app uses large images, animations, and audio, so I optimized:
Memory usage
Lazy loading of visuals
Faster opening of sessions
Smooth animation transitions
This allowed the app to run well on all iPhones, including older ones.
