Built as a playground
One app. A growing collection of experiments.
Pezzul began as my way to explore iOS 27 and the newest Apple platform technologies. It is a real puzzle app, but it is also where I learn by building, testing, and refining ideas in public.
While waiting for Apple to review the app, I decided to build an Android version too. I’d been developing Android apps for a long time, but only bought my first Android phone, a Pixel 11, in September 2026. I’m still an Apple fanboy at heart.
On-device intelligence
Apple’s Foundation Models framework suggests puzzle and group names locally, while Image Playground turns new ideas into playable artwork.

- Image Playground ↗
- Graceful availability handling
New SwiftUI interactions
The puzzle board explores iOS 27’s reorderable and reorder-container APIs alongside a custom drag implementation.
Siri and system intelligence
Puzzles become system entities that Siri, Spotlight, Shortcuts, and the Action button can discover and act on.
Local-first by design
Puzzle images, titles, organization, and progress stay in the local library, with automatic restoration between sessions.
- Automatic progress saving
- Private local puzzle library
- Search and organization
Product experiments
Remote configuration and privacy-conscious telemetry help compare reordering ideas and understand the solve experience.
- Remote Config variants
- Interaction and completion metrics
- Crash diagnostics
Thoughtful app details
The smaller experiments matter too: photo alignment, persistent progress, accessible play aids, tips, search, and organization.
