Learning iOS dev w/ Swift & SwiftUI. Passionate about accessibility & on-device AI. Building apps that work for everyone. #iOSDev #Accessibility #BlindCoder
If you have struggled with productivity tools that do not match how your brain works, I would appreciate your feedback during this beta phase.

Most task apps assume your brain is already organized. Mine is not, and many users feel the same way.
I built a task manager that supports people who deal with overwhelm, ADHD, and executive function challenges. In my latest article, I explain why traditional tools fall short and what it took to design a system that works differently.

Our app Perspective Intelligence, formerly Perspective AI, is now live. I learned a lot building this and Apple Foundation Models are powerful. On device AI is worth exploring if you are an iOS dev. The All Access subscription with Voice Mode, Audio Transcription, and Chat Memories is coming soon. Try the app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/perspective-intelligence/id6448894750
Perspective Intelligence App - App Store

Download Perspective Intelligence by Techopolis Online Solutions, LLC on the App Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips, and more games like…

App Store
Perspective Studio is now in beta. It is an accessible app that lets anyone run AI models like Llama 3.2, Mistral, and Gemma directly on their computer.
It is powered by @ollama, which installs automatically and handles model setup for you.
No cloud, no subscription, and no data sharing. Just private, on-device AI for everyone.

Perspective Studio: The Easy, Accessible Way to Use AI on Your Computer

Most AI tools today run in the cloud and require an internet connection, subscriptions, or logins.

Taylor’s Substack

@tayarndt I had a small breakthrough at the 11th hour today. The sample project from the tutorial below. What I needed were the AppDelegate and SceneDelegate blocks, adapted for my Persistent Store. It’s still slow, and needs improvement, but is working, technically.

What would an on device AI app need to do to convince you to pay for a monthly subscription?
Indie devs: your app may look great, but is it accessible?
Accessibility means making sure everyone can use what you build. Here’s what it is, why it matters, and how to test your app on a budget:

Are You an Indie Dev? Let’s Talk About Accessibility

So, you’ve built an app.

Taylor’s Substack

Are you building a product and want more people to actually use it?
If your platform isn’t accessible, whole groups of people can’t use it. That means fewer users and slower growth.
I offer accessibility + beta testing sessions:

$25 for 2 weeks

$50 per session after
