It all started with finding and deconstructing apps on the App Store to understand what makes them unique and impactful. Two standout inspirations for Serenity Stops were Apple Maps and Dot, which shaped the app’s core functionality and design philosophy.
Apple Maps Inspiration
Flow and Interaction: Serenity Stops adopts Apple Maps’ intuitive flow, where users can interact with a map view, tap on locations, and access relevant content through smooth sheet interactions.
Pin Placement: Inspired by the ability to drop pins in Apple Maps, Serenity Stops allows users to anchor their emotional reflections to specific locations on the map.
Context-Driven Content: The use of sheets to display information tied to a location directly influenced how journaling entries are tied to serene stops.
Dot Inspiration
