A Fresh Perspective on Everyday Tools: A Look at Not Boring Apple Apps
This week, I stumbled upon the most beautifully aesthetic apps—each one unique in its own way.
It started with Not Boring Weather, a refreshingly artful take on checking the forecast, which then led me to explore the timer, the vibes app, and, last but not least, the calculator.
I’m always in awe of designers who can bring simple, beautiful, and functional design to life—like Cosmos. Could it be more visually stunning?

The weather app alone is an absolute work of art, and the entire collection is a refreshing way to experience the everyday.
And these words.
Just what you need, Not a button more.
Apps that do one thing exceptionally well with boldness and clarity. No menus. No unnecessary features. Just simple swipes and taps.’
