Stillwater is a complete Meditation App in SwiftUI: an Xcode project you rename and ship. Stillwater, a calm wellbeing app: a complete Xcode project with mood check-ins, guided breathing, short courses, a journal, widgets and three brand presets. This guide takes you from download to a running, renamed app. It covers version 1.0.0. See the screens on its library page.

Make it yours
cd Stillwater
scripts/setup.sh --name YourApp --bundle-id com.you.yourapp --preset stillwater-editorialThe script rewrites the project configuration, renames the paywall product ids, renders the app icon in the chosen preset and runs tuist generate.
Run it
Open YourApp.xcworkspace, choose an iPhone simulator and run the YourApp scheme. The first launch loads sample data so every screen has content.
Screens and flows
Stillwater ships 19 screens, joined by 4 flows. Play each flow step by step on the site:
- First Run: onboarding, 12 steps. Three welcome pages, the reminders permission, Sign in with Apple and a free week of Stillwater Plus, then Today.
- Check In And Breathe: core journey, 11 steps. Log today's mood in one tap, add feelings and a note, then breathe through a full Unwind session.
- See What Helps: core journey, 8 steps. Read the week in the journal, open yesterday's check-in, then pick up the sleep course and finish a lesson.
- Profile And Settings: profile and settings, 10 steps. Move the daily reminder, change the theme, subscribe to Plus and sign out.
Every screen is a SwiftUI view in the project. Search for its type to find the file.

Rebrand options
| Option | What it sets |
|---|---|
--name | Target, scheme and product name. Letters and digits. |
--bundle-id | The bundle id. The widget, modules, tests and the App Group derive theirs from it. |
--display-name | The name under the icon. Copy that mentions the app reads it at runtime. |
--team | Your Apple Developer team id. |
--preset | The starting brand preset. Also re-renders the app icon. |
--product-prefix | App Store Connect product id prefix. Defaults to the bundle id plus .pro. |
The values live in Tuist/ProjectDescriptionHelpers/AppConfig.swift if you prefer to edit them by hand.
Theming
Stillwater reads every color, type size, radius and animation from @Environment(\.spTheme). Its three presets are three different scheme families, so switching changes the whole look: ground, surfaces, color blocks, type and shape. People switch presets and appearance in Settings > Theme, and the widget follows.
| Preset | Id | Look | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ember | stillwater-ember | Burnt night, persimmon light, warm scenery. | DM Sans |
| Editorial | stillwater-editorial | Serif headlines over scenery, ink and paper. | New York |
| Candy | stillwater-candy | Cream, bright friendly blocks, rounded bold type. | DM Sans |
- Blocks:
theme.color.tilesholds each family's solid block colors with the ink that reads on them. Use them for categories, charts and highlights, and keep the accent for the primary action. - Numbers and display type:
theme.type.numeral(64)andtheme.type.display(40)set any size in the family's style, scaling with Dynamic Type. - Backdrop:
SPBrandBackdropdraws the family's motif (contours, scenery, shapes, blobs, rings, the Pearl haze, Confetti's sprinkles or Prism's luminous field) behind hero surfaces. - Liquid Glass:
.spGlassuses glass on iOS 26, Material on iOS 17 and 18, and an opaque surface under Reduce Transparency.
To build your own brand, start from the preset closest to it in BrandPresets.swift, copy it, and change its colors; every role and block pairing should keep 4.5:1 contrast. For a quick start from hues, SPBrandConfiguration.custom(...) builds an accessible palette from three OKLCH hues.
Purchases and accounts
PurchaseStorehandles StoreKit 2: products, purchase, restore and transaction updates. The scheme runs withConfiguration/Products.storekit, so purchases work in the simulator before App Store Connect is set up.- Create the products in App Store Connect with the ids in the project's catalog (the product prefix plus
.yearlyand.monthly). AccountStoresigns in with Apple and keeps the account in the Keychain. People can also continue without an account.- Data lives in SwiftData inside the App Group, so the widget reads the same store. Replace the sample data by conforming your own type to the repository protocol.
Launch arguments
Debug builds accept these arguments for demos and screenshots. Release builds ignore them.
| Argument | Effect |
|---|---|
-SPMockStore | Local purchases with the same plans |
-SPMockAccount | A signed-in sample account |
-SPSkipOnboarding | Open on the home screen |
-SPResetOnboarding | Run first launch again |
-SPResetData | Reseed the sample data |
-SPTab followed by a tab id | Open a tab |
-SPPresent paywall | Present the paywall |
-SPPreset stillwater-editorial | Start with a preset |
-SPAppearance dark | Force light or dark |
