So glad you like it! (and yeah that icon could definitely use some color 😅)

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Made a fun little app that turns my phone into habit jars. Drop a marble every time you do a habit, visualize your progress and become the best version of yourshelf (ba-dum-tss)

Start a focus session on iPhone, block distractions on Mac, and vice versa.

Yeah the first one is the most cryptic, 2 and 3 you’re spot on!

Upcoming projects I’m excited about. Can you guess what these apps do just by the icons?

POV you’re starting a focus session with Studious

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Turn your Mac’s notch into a focus timer. Studious for macOS is coming soon. It will sync with your iPhone, letting you start a focus session and block apps on both devices with just one tap.

I redesigned the onboarding of my app by making users experience the core feature from the very first tap. Really happy with how it turned out.

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

FYI other apps have done it before. In Studious, this is one of many random challenges users can complete to unblock distractions during a focus session.

000

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

To give you some context, users asked me to make it harder to unblock apps in the middle of a focus session. So I obliged. It’s optional, but if you turn it on, you’ll have to type a random sentence. There’ll be different difficulty levels, from mildly annoying to truly painful.

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Product designers usually obsess over removing friction. For once, I’m doing the opposite.

130

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Didn’t expect that nearly 3/4 of my conversions would happen at the end of the onboarding before users even tried the app. Takeaway: don’t be afraid to show your paywall early.

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Just added a new mode to Studious, focus with no time limit. You just hit start and focus until you’re done. For now I’m calling it “Open session” but I’m not sold on the name yet… What would you guys call it? 🤔

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

I can’t believe no one built a focus timer that syncs with your calendar. So I did.

Whoever took the time to send a beta feedback at 2:17am just to say “Perfect”, you’re a legend

Definitely, but they already have some great marketing material

I finally launched my app on the App Store! Studious brings your calendar, tasks and focus timer in a single app. This lets you: - Automatically start timers during events - Block apps directly from your calendar - Check off tasks as you focus Give it a try ↓

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

I tried using push notifications using Upstash and Vercel which works perfectly, only to realize the rate limit is ~40/hour (low priority)… Has anyone ever tried to implement this? and did you find a way out of the timerInterval supremacy?

010

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Technical question for iOS devs, how do you update a custom timer in a Live Activity? I hate using a Text(timerInterval) because of the lack of formatting options, and the hh:mm:ss format literally makes me feel like my phone is about to self destruct.

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Is it just me or has “vibe coding” lost all meaning? I feel like we should draw the line between asking AI to code for you and actually code with AI as a tool. One is prompting, the other is still engineering.

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

This was tough to get right, but worth it Block apps once, for all devices

When plans change, you shouldn’t have to waste time keeping your calendar up to date.

It’s poolside reading season! I’m about halfway through Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda. It’s a fantastic read! Highly recommend if you create apps, design products and obsess over UX

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

What’s one thing about UI/UX design you wish someone explained better? Thinking of making super practical videos to help indie devs and designers level up

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

For the trophies screen my only feedback would to make sure that you have consistent spacing between the columns and the padding around your grid! I think it would look so much better 😊

120

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Other than that I agree with Ovan that it would be easier to read if all the icons where aligned 👌

100

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Honestly my main feedback I feel like you can expand the sheet to take up the whole screen and add a call to action like "Continue" at the bottom to make things super clear (also think the share button would be nice next to it)

110

Florent Perillat @floperillat.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Indie devs, do you need an extra pair of eyes for your designs? 👀 Drop what you’re working on in the 💬 → App UI/UX → App Store Screenshots → Landing page, App Icons, you name it! I'll reply with some constructive feedback and glow-up ideas ✨
