We make apps people love. Founders and Fortune 500s trust us to design, build, and ship delightful software. Let’s work together on your next project.

A little love for a buy-it-once tool a few of us have been using on MacOS: paperman.cc/ It’s super comfy on the eyes and somehow tricks your brain in the same way features like Night Shift do to combat screen fatigue.

It also got us thinking about innovations in “comfortable computing,” like the iPhone Duo and new MacBook Pro’s nano-texture screens, E Ink displays, and apps like this that make the act of using your device more enjoyable. Is anyone interested in a blog post on that topic..? 👀

Exciting to see what people are doing with foldables and the way changing *physical viewing formats* can affect user experience and interactions.. 👀 A lot of fun problem solving will be happening!
Is this iPhone Duo feature clever or just a gimmick? IMO folding or unfolding goes beyond resizing the screen: it's a deliberate interaction to enter a different mode. @zenitizer starts your meditation in tent mode, like an hourglass. @DaylishApp’s “Cue” shows now and next. #iPhoneDuo #UXDesign

iPhone Duo has introduced screen postures and UI scenarios we* never thought possible. *Actually, way back in the ancient past of 2022, our engineer Michael was already dreaming up creative solutions to these problems. 😉 lickability.com/blog/every-s… (Screenshot credit: 9to5Mac)

This is so good… Literally just a flat quality of life upgrade for Duo users. 👍
Everyone complained about Safari on iPhone Duo, so I came up with a fix 🌐 Meet Brim, the browser that uses on-device Apple Intelligence to remove elements from under the selfie camera while using 100% of the screen width

That’s a wrap on our second ever Software Sommelier! Many thanks to everyone who made it a success. 😜 We had a great time seeing all the things folks are working on right now, and we hope everyone left with some useful suggestions! 😉 #NewYorkAppWeek

This is actually so useful...
iOS 27 adds concentricCornerRadii to GeometryProxy. It tells you the corner radius a view needs to match the curve of the screen corner.

Sometimes the most forbidden items have 1000% maximum Lickability to them 👀
Apparently one of the design goals of aviation brake fluid was to make it look as delicious as possible

We collected a list of some apps whose major iOS 27 updates really impressed us. These could be design changes, new features, integration of new iOS 27 behaviors, or a mix of everything! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Obscura — apps.apple.com/us/app/obscur… We already love Obscura, but its power is on full display with iPhone 18’s new aperture control on its Fusion Main camera. For Update V, UI and controls have also been improved, and custom filters can be applied over live image previews!

This week, some thoughts from @mb on our recent retreat: What we accomplished, how we did it, and what we’re looking forward to! lickability.com/blog/retreat…

Our team thought this was cool, but it mostly got us thinking about what other UI elements will need adjusting or combining because of format-changing UI.
Can we take a brief moment to discuss the pure genius of this compact network and battery indicator on the iPhone Duo?

That was quick!!
I may or may not have spent a *bit* of time this morning recreating the new iPhone Duo folding animation. I’m using the MacBook’s screen hinge sensor (found by @samhenrigold), ScreenCaptureKit, and whole load of private CoreAnimation API… 🫠

This little detail is so nuts and I keep watching it on loop
This iPhone Duo animation is insane

The iPhone Duo’s asymmetry in folded mode makes it surprisingly friend-shaped??

That’s right: We’re back for another Software Sommelier, where you can get feedback from experienced app developers on your projects in a cozy and casual setting! ☕️🍷 We’ll let you know exactly where soon. 😉
6 Side events for @RevenueCat's New York App Week just dropped 🗽 A workout. A climbing wall. A brunch. A design lab. A founder meetup. A dinner Because one conference & an awards show weren’t quite enough Oct 19–22 → appweek.events/#schedule (still time to submit an event!)
