k Kaki · redesign proposal · v2

Your icon was already a tile

The Kaki icon has an ivory face, a gold edge along the bottom, a green k and a red square dot. That’s a mahjong tile. So the redesign keeps the icon exactly as it is and builds everything else from it: every tile in the app has the same ivory face and gold edge, green means “do this”, and the red square becomes the full stop on each screen title. The rest sits on iOS’s own surfaces. Tap the buttons: they press like tiles.

…becomes every tile in the app
Apple’s surfaces, not a themeSystem grey and true black backgrounds, the system font, large titles, grouped lists, a floating glass tab bar. It should feel like it came with the phone.

One object with personalityIvory face, gold edge, just like the icon. Seats, badges and venue logos are all tiles. Buttons sink 3px when pressed, like a real tile hitting felt.
中
The icon’s three colours, each with one jobGreen (the k) means “do this”. Red (the dot) means “live / needs you now”. Gold (the edge) is only ever the tile’s edge, never a label. Blue and violet are retired.
東
Show the table, not a listAny time a game appears, draw the four seats around a square. “Need 1 more” is something you can see before you read it.

Redesign colours: iOS grey or black background, with only the icon’s green, red and gold.

Home Screen · icon kept

The icon stays, and the widget matches it

The app icon doesn’t change. The Home Screen widget and the Dynamic Island use the same tiles, with the icon sitting in the corner, so the app feels like one object from the icon to the inside. The widget shows tonight’s table and the one empty seat.

Home opens on your night, not a directory

If you have a booking, it sits on top like an iOS Live Activity: countdown, the four seats as wind tiles, and the one empty seat asking to be filled. Below it, this week’s events, then the venues near you as a plain grouped list.

A venue is a room with felt in it

No stock photo? The hero is drawn from tiles scattered on felt, so every venue looks good on day one. Half-hour starts sit in a grid you can scan in one glance; the Monday–Thursday half price is a small red ½ on the slot itself, not a paragraph.

Skor · current layout, new style

The layout that already works, restyled

Same plus-shaped board as today, turned so East is always on top, then South and North on the sides and West at the bottom, every card upright. Each player card has the same raised edge as the buttons, so it’s clear you can tap it. The round sits top-left, honba and riichi sticks top-right, the ruleset bottom-left, and the same buttons are underneath. What changes is the look: rounded numbers, winds as plain text labels (no tiles), “Honba” spelled out in English, a green ring for the dealer, a red chip for riichi, and a red End game button under Catat menang.

Stats you want to show off

One big number with a trend line, three small ones, then the fun part: every yaku you’ve ever won with, collected as a tile. Locked ones stay grey, which gives people a reason to come back — like Apple Fitness awards, but for mahjong.

A ticket, not a receipt

Booking confirmation as a perforated ticket with the venue’s tile, the code big enough to read across a counter, and Wallet as the main action. Friends get the same ticket when you invite them.

Ways to show an open table

The square-table drawing is gone. Each option shows the same four open games tonight, in a different way. They all work: tap an empty seat or Duduk to sit down. C2 is C made shorter so more tables fit on the screen, and D is C2 without the tiles. Pick one, or mix parts of two.

A · Tile row

The same tiles as your home card

The start time and length sit in a solid green block on the left, so they’re the first thing you read. Below them, four wind tiles like the “your night” card on Home. An empty seat is a dashed tile, and you tap the seat itself to sit. It matches the screens you liked best. About three tables fit per screen.

B · Compact list

Calendar-style, dense

Start time on the left like the Calendar app, then faces and a four-square seat meter. Six tables fit on one screen, which works best once many venues are live. It’s the most Apple-like and the least decorated.

C · Invite cards

A big card per table

Like Apple Invites: a drawn felt header with the start time in large type, then the people already sitting, with an empty face to tap. It’s the most social and the most fun, but only one and a half tables fit per screen.

C2 · Invite cards, compact

C, at half the height

Same felt art and faces as C, but the art is a narrow strip on the left. The start time and length sit on a frosted-glass band, so the tiles still show through underneath, blurred, while the text stays readable. The people sit in one row beside it. About four and a half tables fit per screen instead of one and a half. Tap an empty face to sit.

D · Plain time block

C2 without the tiles

Same card as C2: the people in one row and “1 lagi” up top. The left strip is now just solid dark green with the start time and the bold length, and nothing else. It’s the calmest of the options and the fastest to read.

What gets retired

Cream ground #FBF8F1 + dark brown text
Warm paper #FBF8F1 (kept from today) / true black, with white cards on top.
jade · red · gold · blue · violet tints on pills
Only the icon’s three colours: green for actions, red for “live / needs you”, gold only as the tile edge.
Every section a rounded card + “See all ›”
Grouped lists for lists, one lifted card per screen for the thing that matters right now.
Ionicons everywhere
SF Symbols (already used in the tab bar) + tiles as the illustration language.
