Shipped my first Swift app to the App Store. Therapy prep voice agent built on Apple Intelligence.

ShowoffZone - Flexing my latest project

First time writing Swift. Six weeks from idea to App Store approval. Apple approved it in under an hour on launch day.
I built Prelude because I personally needed it. I kept showing up to therapy sessions and blanking, then remembering everything I wanted to say on the drive home. The app runs a voice agent before each session to surface what’s actually on your mind, then generates a structured session brief you and your therapist work through together. Weekly emotional trend graph on top of that.
The walls I hit: voice echo during agent playback, response truncation on brief generation, the AI getting repetitive after a few exchanges. Figured them out one by one. The whole thing runs on Foundation Models and the premium on-device Apple voices. No server, no account, nothing leaves the device. Works fully offline.
Free forever. No ads, no IAP. Built it as a charity project for the mental health community. My own therapist said sessions noticeably improved once we started using the briefs.

Happy to talk stack, architecture, or any of the walls I hit.
