iKippa
Forgot your kippa? Put your phone on your head
A kippa (yarmulke) is the head covering worn by Jewish men. I kept forgetting mine, so I built an app that draws one on the iPhone screen — edge to edge, brightness pinned, so you can rest the phone on your head. Tap it and it says Amen. Seven styles, plus a designer: material, panels, colour, and text embroidered around the rim, which curves and reads right to left in Hebrew. Drawn live in SwiftUI Canvas, not bitmaps. No account, no tracking, no network. It is a joke, and it says so.

A kippa (yarmulke) is the small head covering worn by Jewish men. I need one maybe four times a year — a Friday dinner, a wedding, a family photo — and it is reliably in the other jacket. Four times a year is exactly often enough to notice and exactly rarely enough never to fix. So I built this. It draws a kippa on the screen edge to edge, keeps the display awake and pins the brightness up so it reads as fabric from across a table. You put the phone on your head. Tap it and it says Amen. It is a joke. The welcome screen says so: "Not rabbinically approved. Probably." Two things worth mentioning for anyone who cares about the build: Everything is drawn live in SwiftUI Canvas — no bitmaps anywhere. That is why the designer can do any colour, four to eight panels, and text embroidered around the rim that curves with the circle and reads right to left in Hebrew. Getting that text to sit inside the stitched binding without colliding with the emblem took longer than the rest of the app combined. And Apple rejected it twice. The first time they asked what it was for, which is a fair question to put to someone who has submitted a picture of a hat. Free, one style unlocked forever, no account, no tracking, no network calls at all. Happy to answer anything.
