iOS Utility
Posted in 12-projects

March's project is a native iOS utility app. It solves a small, constant annoyance for travelers and digital nomads, the kind of problem that's too minor for anyone to build a business around and just annoying enough to bite you on every single trip. I'm keeping the details quiet until it's actually on the App Store.
Where things stand
The app is built and working. Right now it's waiting on Apple Developer account approval, which is taking longer than expected. Once that clears, it goes to TestFlight and then to the App Store. I'll update this post with a proper writeup and a download link when it's live.
What I learned
Even a focused, single-purpose utility teaches you things. iOS platform APIs have sharp edges: features that look simple sometimes require special entitlements, and the approval process adds a dependency on Apple's timeline that you can't engineer around. Scope discipline matters more here than anywhere else, because a utility app lives or dies by how fast it solves the core problem. And some problems genuinely belong on the platform rather than in a browser. This is one of them.
More to come.
