Building a private Archive app

An experiment in building an app for myself.

Archive was created to capture notes and memories.

Because it was a personal project, I could fully indulge in the craft, exploring a bespoke visual style, custom widgets, and unique interface components.

It was also a valuable lesson in backend-frontend synergy. Every API decision introduced trade-offs in the UI, and every interface decision influenced the API.

Tools: Figma, Cursor, Paper, Replit, Xcode.
