About this app
minutiae: Uncurated, unfollowed, unfiltered. An art project created by Martin Adolfsson & Daniel J Wilson Description minutiae is an anti-social media app that helps participants capture ordinary moments of life -- moments we don’t fully value until they’re gone. //////////////////////////// HOW IT WORKS //////////////////////////// 1. Once each day, at a random minute, all minutiae participants around the globe receive an alert simultaneously. 2. You have exactly one minute to respond to the alert and open the minutiae app. 3. Capture whatever is in front of you, there and then. 4. Once you’ve documented your moment, you have 60 seconds to explore previous moments. Both your own, and those of one random stranger you are matched with each day. 4. Repeat for 1440 days (once for every minute in 24 hours). 5.

App details
What you can learn from minutiae: Real Life
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 9 screenshots above are minutiae: Real Life's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: minutiae: Real Life runs a light set with one background colour (#F4F4F4) 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, #6C9CBC, 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.
