Kelpmile: sea-swimming iOS UI concept (Today / Meet / Log)
An original high-fidelity iOS UI concept for sea swimmers: a 24-hour tide ring with the swim window, a group dip page and a season log. Fictional brand, DEMO data, not a real app or safety advice.

Kelpmile is an original high-fidelity iOS UI concept for people who swim in the sea all year: a cove before work, a group dip at the weekend, a log of every cold morning.
The three screens
Today. The home screen answers one question: is the water good this morning? A 24-hour tide ring shows high and low tide, a dark marker for now and a coral arc for the swim window. Four soft tiles below give water temperature, wind, swell and daylight.
Meet. A group dip page with an illustrated sunrise cove, the time and route, a small tide chart with the dip marked, who is going and what to bring. A badge says plainly that the swim is not lifeguarded.
Log. A season view with a large dip count, a November calendar coloured by water temperature, weekly minutes in the water and the latest swims.
Visual system
- Sea-glass gradients, foam white and deep kelp green, with coral reserved for the swim window and calls to action
- Unbounded for headlines and numbers, DM Sans for the interface and DM Mono for times
- Pastel bento tiles in mint, sky, sun and coral, one per condition
- Internally consistent sample data: the tide ring, the dip window and the log all agree on dates and times
Notes
Kelpmile is a fictional brand and Gullrock Cove is a made-up place. Tides, temperatures, names and swims are DEMO data for illustration. It is a static design study, not a real app, forecast or safety advice. All artwork, including the cove illustration and charts, is drawn in code; no photos or third-party logos are used.
