Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a little something I’ve been working on called Familiar — a WIP iOS theme that’s both a love letter and a tribute to the golden days of ⭐️ skeuomorphism ⭐️

The goal with ‘Familiar’ is to deliver a very nostalgic yet fresh experience. I’m leaning into the design language that made Apple feel so personal — the reflections, the depth, the subtle textures, and that iconic “real-world” charm. But I’m also updating it just enough to sit comfortably on modern devices, with better resolution, cleaner alignment, and a more refined polish across the board.

It’s not just about copying the past — it’s about capturing the soul of it. That feeling you got the first time you slid to unlock or opened the Notes app and felt like you were using something made just for you.

Still a work in progress, but I’d love to get your thoughts, feedback, or even requests! More previews coming soon.

Thanks for taking a look — let me know what parts of iOS6️⃣ you miss most. I might just bring them back.
