Design for iOS & API Integration

AgnesFawn

Hello,

I use your app on both iPhone and iOS, and I’m happy with its functionality. However, the design on iOS is quite disappointing—especially the inability to even change the app’s color. Please consider making it more in line with the iOS aesthetic: sleek and modern, with at least some color customization options, gradients, or transparency. Even a minimalist design with slightly rounded edges and a rich palette of light colors would be a huge improvement. I lose the motivation to use the app on my Mac when I see the outdated blue-themed interface, which lacks space and a contemporary feel.

Secondly, app synchronization would be incredibly useful. It would be great to integrate with apps related to fitness, meditation, health, or personal development. Expanding API capabilities—such as integration with Spotify—would make the app a hub for everything you interact with on your phone, as it’s a part of your life and personal journey.

I’d really appreciate the opportunity to be heard. Thank you!

Sorry you feel that way about the design

AgnesFawn especially the inability to even change the app’s color

I am a bit confused - you can change the apps color in the app settings....

AgnesFawn Please consider making it more in line with the iOS aesthetic

Diarium uses the recommended and default iOS design, why is it not "in line with iOS aesthetic?

Are gradients used a lot in iOS? Where?
Where are you missing "color customization options"? As I said, you can change the apps theme color int he app settings.
Where are you missing transparency?

AgnesFawn Even a minimalist design with slightly rounded edges

Where exactly are you misssing "slightly roudned edges"? Many elements in the app already have it - the tiles in the calendar view, the media squares, the tags, etc...

Now I am more confused. You were referring to iOS and iPhone in your previous text, now it is about macOS? 🤔
