Stratus

I'm designing and building Stratus, an iOS application that generates immersive ambient soundscapes based on real-time weather conditions. The app pairs watercolor-style backgrounds with dynamically layered audio that shifts with the weather and time of day, providing a calming, atmospheric experience. Users can search by location, save favorites, and revisit recent searches seamlessly.

The app is being developed in SwiftUI with an MVVM architecture, using SwiftData for persistence. Ambient sounds are mixed on-device rather than relying on pre-rendered files, reducing storage requirements while allowing flexible, real-time audio adaptation. Stratus brings together UI/UX design, API integration, and mobile performance optimization into a polished, ready-to-use app.
