Starting the 10 Apps in 12 Months Challenge

Welcome to CraftoryX—a personal challenge to ship 10 production-ready iOS apps to the App Store in just 12 months.

Why This Challenge?

As an iOS developer, I've always wanted to push my limits and ship real products. This challenge is about more than just coding—it's about:

  • 🚀 Shipping consistently: Moving from idea to App Store
  • 📚 Learning in public: Sharing wins, failures, and lessons
  • 💼 Building a portfolio: 10 real apps with real users
  • ⚡ Mastering Swift: Deep diving into SwiftUI, Combine, CoreML, and more

The Rules

  1. Swift only: All apps built with Swift and native iOS frameworks
  2. Ship to App Store: Each app must be publicly available
  3. Weekly updates: Transparent dev logs every week
  4. Quality bar: Each app must be polished and accessible
  5. One year deadline: August 31, 2026

What's Next

I'm starting with FocusFlow, a Pomodoro timer app. It's simple enough to ship quickly but has room for interesting features like ambient soundscapes and analytics.

Follow along as I document every step of the journey. The good, the bad, and the rejected by App Store review.

Let's build something amazing.
