Handheld shell / interaction study 01

One surface.
All your apps.

A live-card Home for the 568 × 1232 portrait display. An open app shrinks into the deck; the deck moves between apps, the drawer, and a quiet notification shade.

THE DESIGN LANGUAGE

Recognizable, wherever you left it.

Installed app artwork appears in cards, the drawer, and app-specific notices. Built-in destinations use small original line icons. The screen treats each app as a place to return to, not a thumbnail to decode. Icon sources and licenses.
