Portfolio / CASE STUDY
Published iOS app
A private voice journal that turns spoken thoughts into useful summaries, insights, and a story of your year.
Independent product design and development
I built Life Wrapped around a problem I had myself: I could talk through what I had done, but I didn’t always have organized notes to look back on. Voice makes capture easy. The product turns that capture into something worth revisiting.
The app combines native recording and on-device transcription with several summary options. Users can choose key-sentence extraction, downloaded local models, Apple Intelligence on supported devices, or optional OpenAI and Anthropic integrations using their own keys. Work and Personal journals, search, monthly summaries, and Year Wrap give the recordings a longer life.
THE PRODUCT IN USE
Apple’s Speech framework processes audio on the device. Optional cloud summaries send journal text to the selected provider; they do not send audio. The privacy boundary is visible and documented.
The public code documents eight local Swift packages, strict concurrency, SQLite migrations, Keychain storage for API keys, WidgetKit entry points, and a StoreKit 2 unlock for optional cloud features.
Summary engine metadata and revision history preserve earlier output. A stronger summary is not silently replaced by a simpler engine. JSON, Markdown, and PDF export keep the journal portable.
Published on the App Store. Local AI availability depends on device capabilities. Cloud summaries are optional and use the user’s provider account.
