Hugging AppAbout Hugging App
Hugging App is a free, open-source iOS app design reference catalog by PatchworkMD. Browse up to 100 apps per US App Store chart category, developer-published screenshots, visually reviewed UI patterns, and related screen collections.
Where do the screenshots come from?
App metadata and screenshots come from Apple's public Lookup API. App discovery uses category-level US App Store charts. Images are cached on this catalog's domain. Each app page links to its original listing.
How many apps are included?
The catalog targets up to 100 free apps in each supported US App Store category. Counts vary when Apple returns fewer valid chart listings. The page shows the current snapshot date.
Are these complete app flows?
No. The collections group listing screenshots. They are not recordings of actual user journeys, and their order is not verified.
How current is the catalog?
A scheduled pipeline refreshes the catalog daily. Each page shows the snapshot date; a schedule does not guarantee that every run succeeded. UI annotations are reviewed separately and show their review dates.
Can I save and compare screenshots?
Save references on this device, compare up to four screenshots, and export a JSON board without signing in. Optional Google or email accounts and private shared boards require Firebase setup; while account setup is unavailable, saved references stay on this device.
What does the Hugging App plugin do?
The separate Hugging App plugin reviews screenshots, interface text, and code you supply and guides original iOS app work. It does not automatically fetch this catalog or independently publish apps.
Who owns the images?
The catalog code is MIT licensed. Third-party screenshots and trademarks remain their owners' property; public availability is not a reuse licence. Hugging App is an independent PatchworkMD project.
