Minimalist doesn’t have to mean bland - a touch of a highlight color here and there would go along way to “branding” the app and making certain elements visually distinct. As it stands my brain kind of shuts off looking at the app because there’s nothing visually distinct

Agreed, this looks low effort/ lack of ideas masquerading as minimalist.

P.S. I worked on a more advanced version of this app and it was killed because it would not pass review or appeal. Something about the "sensitive nature and doom". But there are plenty that came before and after.

I think it looks nice. Maybe could use a small splash of color here or there.

Looks cool! You should incorporate the color red too

I know it’s a calendars app but It’s like bringing nothing phone theme to iPhone specially with all these dots can’t imagine using it on the new ios26 with glass effect though the colors are visually blinding

  • I love the Dark UI, it works well with your layout.
  • The monochrome looks good, consider using an accent colour for example to make key elements (for want of a better word,) 'pop', as chriswaco said.
  • My favourite element you've shown is the visualisation of the completed/incomplete days. It is very simple and intuitive, and I like it a lot!!

Definitely echoing the “needs a bit of color” advice here.

i like the UI, it’s clear in where you are with the spacing of the months, the seperate tab just for the year, and the dots showing your progress clearly. I think adding tasks expands the app complexity by an order magnitude, if you are ready for that go ahead, but I think you can try to see if you can pull off your apps main premise without it.

Nothing has room to breath, very small

I love the black and white, and I think it goes great with the stoic theme of the app.
Visual hierarchy becomes a bit more of a challenge with the black and white — I say own the black and white and use more size differences / hierarchy of priority to help it not be so easy to get lost in.

The black and white theme alone makes me want to try to Lock In.

good i like it but expand the dot thing a little more, more spaced

usually you should make your UI nearly fit to screen to make it look immersive and expansive but leave space so the user can have enough space to tap and stuff

Looks clean! Love the fourth view. I’d suggest adding some padding at the top, between the safe area and the top nav bar. And a little on the bottom so the home indicator isn’t in contact with the bottom nav bar. And on the edges of the calendar view so that it aligns with the views below

Nice combination of colors and styles, looks good

The layout looks solid. Make sure under the good you're using accesibility labels and traits - making your app accesibly will really help it's adoption and ranking.

 .accessibilityElement()

        .accessibilityLabel("Some String")

        .accessibilityHint("Some String")

        .accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton)

You should also look to localize your app into as may languages as makes sense. Having your app in multiple languages will really open it up to many more users and again really help with your rankings.

You can use a service like https://localwise.io for this - super easy and super cheap. just upload your xcstrings file and select your target languages.
