A fun text style converter for iOS, inspired by cringe internet culture
A joke project I built to learn Swift and Obj-C. There was a jailbreak tweak that uwu-ified notifications system-wide — mine just lets you type that way. You paste in text, pick a style, get cursed output.
All the conversion logic lives in TextFunctions.swift, shared between the main app, custom keyboard, and iMessage extension. The core isn’t actually regex — it’s dictionary-based character and word substitution using Swift’s replacingOccurrences(). Each style is a predefined mapping: doubleStack swaps characters for Unicode mathematical alphanumerics (𝕒, 𝕓), Fraktur goes gothic, alien uses obscure Unicode (ꍏ, ꌃ), upsideDown flips characters, and clap replaces spaces with 👏. The Zalgo style is the exception — it randomly sprinkles Unicode combining diacriticals (range 0x300–0x36F) onto characters for the corrupted text effect. Ended up with 15+ styles total.
It’s still on the App Store. Not maintained.
