Finding time to read in a busy day keeps getting harder. Royal Mind was designed as a mobile reading app that offers valuable content in a short time through book summaries and articles.

What we built

  • Book summaries: concise pages that capture the key ideas of notable books.
  • Articles: short, focused reads on a range of topics.
  • Discovery and library: browsing content by category and returning to saved items.
  • Reading settings: a reading screen that can be personalised with text size and theme options.
  • Continue where you left off: reading progress is saved and shown in the library.
  • Content management: a panel where editors publish new summaries and articles.

With the reading experience at the centre, we designed an elegant, distraction-free interface in dark tones. Typography, line spacing and layout were tuned to stay comfortable even during longer reading sessions, while content discovery relies on card-based screens that are quick to scan.

How we worked

We began Royal Mind with a short discovery: together we pinned down the target user, the main flows and the scope of the first release. We then designed the flows and interface in Figma and tested them with a clickable prototype. Throughout development we shared working builds at regular intervals, and we prepared the app for release after testing it on real devices.

Technical foundation

We built the app for iOS and Android from a single Flutter codebase, using Swift and Kotlin where platform-specific needs arose. On the server side there is an API written in Node.js, with Firebase for push notifications and authentication. Design and prototypes were prepared in Figma.

Outcome

Royal Mind became a clean, stylish reading app that aims to build a meaningful reading habit, even in short moments of free time.
