Muse Widgets and Wallpapers is a next-generation iOS customization app that offers pre-designed, high-quality widgets and wallpapers, ready to use out of the box. Unlike traditional widget apps that require manual customization, Muse provides a seamless experience where users simply select a function and a visual theme, instantly achieving a polished, professional look. Each widget is meticulously crafted by designers and available in a variety of styles - from flat minimalism to futuristic and magical skeuomorphism.
Widgets, iOS customization, Wallpapers, Interactive, Skeuomorphic Design
Muse Widgets and Wallpapers is developed using Swift and SwiftUI, ensuring seamless integration with iOS and optimized performance. The app utilizes Core Graphics and Core Animation to enhance visual appeal and interactivity. Each widget is crafted with a modular design system, allowing dynamic customization while maintaining consistency. Advanced UI/UX methodologies were applied to create an intuitive experience, balancing aesthetics and functionality.
The biggest challenge was balancing design flexibility with ease of use. Many customization apps overwhelm users with complex settings, so we focused on pre-designed, high-quality widgets that work out of the box. Another hurdle was ensuring performance optimization - interactive elements had to be visually rich yet lightweight. Adapting to Apple’s evolving widget framework also required continuous refinement to maintain seamless functionality.
The project started in Odesa, Ukraine, on July 9, 2021, and is expected to be completed in Portland, OR, USA, on May 1, 2025.
Muse offers a seamless and intuitive experience. Users simply select a widget type, choose a visual theme, and add it to their home screen in just a few taps - no complex customization required. Widgets are interactive, adapting to user preferences while maintaining a cohesive design. High-resolution wallpapers complement the widgets, ensuring a polished look. Muse simplifies personalization, allowing users to effortlessly create a stylish and functional home screen.
This project involved user experience research focused on mobile customization behavior. The objective was to understand user preferences for widget and wallpaper personalization. We conducted surveys and usability tests with iOS users of different demographics to analyze trends. Data collection included heatmaps, A/B testing, and user feedback. Results showed a strong demand for ready-made, high-quality designs. Insights led to a seamless, pre-designed customization approach, enhancing usability and engagement.
The inspiration for Muse comes from the growing demand for aesthetic and effortless home screen customization. Many widget apps offer customization but require users to manually design their layouts, which can be overwhelming. We wanted to create a solution that balances creativity and simplicity - where every design is pre-crafted by professionals, ensuring a beautiful and cohesive look with minimal effort. Our approach draws from modern UI trends, giving users diverse stylistic choices.
