Leopard iOS App

I wanted one place on my phone for what I actually do each day: work through a study plan, protect focus time, catch up on the news, keep a private conversation going, and watch over the sites and services I run. Leopard started as a study-reminder app and grew into that place, built for the phone I carry, an iPhone 7 on iOS 15.

A SwiftUI app with five tabs (Today, Schedule, Tracker, Briefing, and Chat) and a Console. Study state lives on the device and reminders are scheduled locally, so the core of the app works with no server and no signal. The briefing is written once a day by a cron job on this site and stored in Supabase; the app reads it with the public key and keeps a copy for offline mornings.

The chat began as a web view of the site's messenger, but loading the Next.js bundle on an iPhone 7 took seconds on every cold start. I rewrote it natively, including a small Supabase Realtime client with no dependencies, and kept the web layer only for WebRTC calls. The Console talks to each service with tokens from the Keychain, while anything that needs a server secret, like Search Console data or editing this site, goes through dedicated routes on iamleopard.com.

iOS 15 lacks several newer SwiftUI APIs, so the app carries small shims instead of raising its minimum version. The focus timer stores when it ends rather than ticking a counter, so it stays right after the app is suspended or killed. XCUITest flows drive Today, Schedule, Tracker, and the chat end to end on the simulator and capture screenshots for visual review.
