Context
ERLİK is a system-intelligence product shaped around a real user workflow. The work combines product framing, interface design, engineering, and production readiness in one delivery path.
Challenge
The product needed to make a complex workflow feel clear while remaining reliable across devices, languages, and the operational constraints behind the experience.
Approach
We translated the core journey into small, testable slices, connected the right data boundaries, and kept security, accessibility, observability, and recovery visible from the first release.
Outcome
The result is a focused product foundation that can be measured in real use and extended without replacing the core architecture.
Delivery scope
ERLİK is an ultra-lightweight, privacy-first activity and focus tracking suite built purely in Swift for Apple Silicon Macs. Operating at ~8 MB of RAM with zero CPU drain, it hooks directly into macOS Darwin Kernel APIs (IOHIDSystem, NSWorkspace) with hardware-level AFK detection, automated AGI/AI agent recognition, glassmorphism web dashboard, and macOS menubar companion with RAM and cache purging.
Discovery, UX direction, full-stack implementation, integration work, release support, and production verification. Stack: Swift, macOS, ARM64, Darwin Kernel, SQLite, Glassmorphism, AGI Intelligence, Apple Silicon, Local-First, Open Source.
