Aika
A personal project born from a daily frustration. I vibe-coded Aika entirely on my own using AI tools, designed and built it in SwiftUI, and shipped a working app currently in beta on TestFlight.

Project
Every day in the agency, I had to fill in a timesheet for each project. The problem: I had to remember how long I'd spent on each task, round the time, and do it all at the end of the day from memory. A small but constant friction. So I designed and built the tool I needed.
My role
Everything. From identifying the problem to shipping the app.
I designed the interface around a weekly calendar view where time entries are logged once and stay organized. The focus was on making the experience as frictionless as possible: minimal taps, clear structure, no cognitive load.
For the build, I used Cursor and Claude Code to vibe-code the entire app in SwiftUI. I iterated heavily on micro-interactions: haptic feedback, timer animations, subtle transitions. The goal was an interface that feels as good as it looks.
Aika is currently live on TestFlight.
The result
A fully functional app, built and designed solo, that solves a real problem I had every day. This project taught me how far AI tools can take a designer who's willing to experiment. It confirmed that the boundary between design and build is thinner than ever.
