We’re working on a new (not boring) app. Rather than slowly tease it over months, let’s kill any hype right now… It’s called Vibes. It’s a personalized video game soundtrack for your life to help you focus, sleep, workout.

We built achievements for !Habits with original hand-drawn stickers + metal shaders, so you can earn awards for your reps, streaks, and other secret moves. We had a blast, so I hope you enjoy it!

This is not a return to the old skeuomorphism. The future is not dimensional… It's fully 3D and responsive.

Some personal news… After 5 incredible years of !Boring, I’ve decided that I’m having too much fun and will continue making software until the machines pry it from my cold dead hands. Thank you for supporting 5 years of this work 🙏 We're just gettin' to the interesting part ;)

Sounds are annoying because most designers use one sample for a button and play it repeatedly. Instead, you want to steal a technique from gaming and randomly select from a set of 8+ samples each with slight differences to create texture.

Merry Christmas! 🎄 We have a special gift to Super !Boring supporters… a new skin, Bricks! I had a lot of fun with this one. I don't know the first thing I ever built, but I’m pretty certain it was built with these little colorful toy bricks that showed up one Christmas morning. With Bricks, we wanted to honor Builders. From our earliest moments, these toy bricks taught us one of life's most pivotal lessons—that despite how it looks, the world around us is not fixed. It was built by others just like us. And those who learn to build, have the power to pick apart the pieces and build them into something better & more beautiful. Bricks is available now in !Weather for all Super !Boring members. Cheers!

!Boring If this was going to be a camera app people would love, it had to do 4 things… 1. Feel satisfying in your hands (like a real camera) This is our first fully-3D interface with dynamic lighting that responds to movement, satisfying sounds, & custom haptics. Feels damn good.
