IsleMark
An iOS app that puts a short line of your own text in the iPhone's Dynamic Island. I designed it, coded it in Swift, and it passed 20,000 downloads.

Know More
IsleMark was my first app on the App Store. I built it in two months to find out whether I could take an idea from a sketch to real users on my own.
Founder · Design, Swift and Marketing
I designed it in Figma, wrote it in Swift, and set up the App Store listing myself. The app is simple: you type a line of text and it shows up in your Dynamic Island.
Almost all of the growth came from one Xiaohongshu post that got about two million views. The app reached 15,000 downloads in its first month and passed 20,000 overall, and 61.2% of people who opened its App Store page downloaded it. After that launch I paid much more attention to how people describe an app to each other.
