This is kinda of how I'm looking at my month of marketing.
Hiring an agency really helps, because now someone else is going to handle UGC stuff. I think I'm going to learn into the "Free Tools" type of marketing, since those have done well for me previously.

I couldn't let the custom Alyx SNES box art go to waste. To the settings footer it goes. #ThankYouForPlaying

I often forget this, but you can use a gradient with .foregroundStyle and SF Symbols. That's how I have the multi-colored one here:
```
Image(systemName: "yourSymbol")
.foregroundStyle(Gradient(colors: [.purple, .red, .blue])
```
```
Image(systemName: "yourSymbol")
.foregroundStyle(Gradient(colors: [.purple, .red, .blue])
```

#1 thing I heard was people wanted more direction for choosing a caffeine limit.
I think I finally got it right. Ended up writing my own scroll edge effect...effect. Worth it though ✨

One dumb idea I had (have?) for Alyx was for a chat room to open up once a day so we could all just vibe and talk about what coffee we are drinking.
Definitely a mission-critical feature, I know.

🚨 Alyx is now LIVE 🚨
The silliest way to track caffeine, with all of iOS 26's bells & whistles. Scan stuff with Visual Look Up, use interactive Shortcuts, and tons more.
Since I'm terrible at making videos, I had SNES-style box art commissioned for it instead 😄🕹️☕️

Tomorrow is the day, Alyx officials launches 🚀
Here's hoping all this hustle this summer was worth it. As a pre-launch final video, on the splash page - you can actually tap and fidget with all of the little tiles 🪀

I have no reviews to put on Alyx's paywall at launch, so....
I made reviews from my own real-world experiences 🤭

One of my favorite lil animations in Alyx is the bobble on the paywall.
I never really thought to use .brightness() in animation, but it gives it a nice pop and shine.

I added AlarmKit support a day before uploads because if you can't get notified when to have your last sip of caffeine then this app is definitely worthless A

📸 Visual Lookup 2.0 in Alyx 📸
I rebuilt the Visual Lookup integration from the ground up. Now it can recognize most drinks and fetch their caffeine content, it's no longer limited to pre-defined app entities.
Here's my test run at Target 🤘

Golly, really happy with how logging caffeine with Foundation Models turned out from a UX perspective. It's so fun I just keep using it even when I don't need it 🤓

In dark mode, Alyx's Liquid Glass icon dons a sleep mask. Because why not. I just feel like it's a thing it should do 💤

In the latest build of Alyx, the closer you get to your caffeine limit the more red the gradient blobs in the UI become 🔺Alyx

🎨 I settled on four themes for launch, and I am proud to announce that Alyx is home to...
Cupercinno!
California's favorite exclusive color way that I completely made up. It's a crisp dark orange, harkening back to the region's distinct, bold cappuccinos ☕️

How about caffeine intake compared to your daily limit expressed as a Github-style chart?
Why the heck not!
Now live in the beta if you have #iOS26 ☕️
* You can also scrub over it to see each day, which was a lot of fun to get working.

I wasn't able to find a UI for this sleep analysis for launch, but it's super useful!A
If you're on the Alyx beta, check it out in Shortcuts. In fact, there is a lot more you can do in Shortcuts than you can even do in the app itself.

⚡️Log caffeine using Apple Intelligence
Not sure how much caffeine something has? Just describe it, put a rough size estimate and done!
This was super fun to make, Foundation Models rocks.
