Joe × Granola

Built his own Granola

Muesli is an on-device AI meeting app for iOS, made solo in SwiftUI. Apple Speech does the live transcription and Foundation Models write the notes. Each note is saved as a Markdown file.

Shader lab and drawer

He built a lab inside the app for tuning its shader. A synthetic voice keeps the shader moving while he changes the settings. The drawer took seven attempts.

Next steps
