Things 3 iOS — Magic Plus Floating Action & Insertion Slot

Mobile Native / Haptic Minimal · mobile app · via Mobbin

Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · motion/interactionNotes by Will
The bottom-right '+' button is draggable: pulling it upward parts existing list rows with a 44px blue insertion gap so you create a task or heading at the exact desired position in one gesture.
Steal · typographyNotes by Will
Zero card borders or row dividers: visual grouping relies entirely on 26px bold project headers, 15px body rows, and 24px vertical section breathing room.

Apple iOS Live Activities — Compact Capsule Dual-Sensor Readout

Dynamic Island / Pill Morphing UI · mobile app · via Mobbin

Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · grid/layoutNotes by Will
Split the 36pt hardware cutout capsule into two asymmetric wings: a 24pt leading icon badge anchored flush-left and a tabular-nums countdown (04:18) anchored flush-right with 12pt internal clearance around the camera sensor.
Steal · colorNotes by Will
Use pure #000000 OLED black as the capsule ground so the hardware cutout disappears completely, pairing a single semantic accent (#30d158 active green or #ff9f0a timer amber) for instant peripheral legibility.

Apple iOS Dynamic Island — Fluid Spring Long-Press Expanded Card

Dynamic Island / Pill Morphing UI · mobile app · via Mobbin

Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · motion/interactionNotes by Will
Long-pressing the compact pill morphs the container from height: 36pt; border-radius: 18pt to height: 168pt; border-radius: 44pt using a critically damped spring (damping: 0.82, response: 0.38s) while keeping the leading icon pinned to its top-left origin.
Steal · component patternNotes by Will
Limit expanded island actions to at most two 44pt pill buttons in the bottom row so thumb taps never accidentally trigger the underlying status bar.

Provenance & takedown

Publicly sourced references link to an original; private or concept examples are labelled separately. All referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Notes are written by hand unless their card says otherwise; a model draft is always labelled. Study use only.

Try it in your agent · no key

One command puts these notes inside Claude Code. Without a key the agent sees 5 families and gets 5 calls a day — enough to judge the taste before you rent it. The key opens every family and lifts the meter.
