About CraftoryX
One mission. Ten apps. Twelve months.
The Mission
CraftoryX is my commitment to ship 10 production-ready iOS apps to the App Store in one year. This isn't about building quick prototypes or side projects that never see the light of day.
Every app will be:
- Built with Swift and native iOS frameworks
- Polished, accessible, and user-tested
- Published to the App Store
- Documented with open roadmaps and changelogs
- Developed transparently with weekly dev logs
Swift Only
Native iOS development using Apple's official frameworks and tools
- Built exclusively with Swift programming language
- SwiftUI for modern declarative interfaces
- UIKit for complex custom UI components
- Native iOS frameworks only - no cross-platform tools
- Optimized for iOS performance and platform conventions

About the Developer
Owais Khan
He/Him
iOS Developer | Machine Learning | Computer Science Graduate
SwiftAsync/AwaitARKitMachine Learning
I'm a solo developer currently working at Hidonix as a Mobile Application Developer. This project is something I've always wanted to do building and shipping 10 iOS apps in 12 months but I never had the time during my studies.
I am a solo developer, so if you find any mistakes or bugs, please report them. Your feedback helps me improve these apps and make them better for everyone.
Throughout my career, I've worked on cross-platform mobile applications using Swift, Kotlin, and React Native. I've developed AR shopping assistants with ARKit, implemented YOLO for object detection in autonomous vehicles, and built responsive user interfaces that millions could use.
