About this app
Filara is embroidery made with code. I write programs that draw a design one stitch at a time, and each design they come up with is sold once. Buy a piece and it gets stitched in thread on fabric and mailed to you. After that it's off the app for everyone else. There are five series right now: a garden sampler, landforms seen from above, a koi pond, birds, and one called Misprint, where two of the others burn through each other. Each shows 30 pieces at a time. Tap New and you get a different 30. Tap any piece to see it full screen and zoom in as far as you like. There's also a Physical view, which shows roughly how the piece will come out once it's down to the threads the machine uses. Tap a piece's title for the details: its palette, how many thread colors, how many stitches. The biggest ones pass 60,000. A piece is $100 and US shipping is included. They're made to order, so allow 1…
App details
What you can learn from Filara
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 16 screenshots above are Filara's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Filara runs a dark set with one background colour (#1C1C14) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #C49C44, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
