Behind Octi Flow

Live on the App Store · Actively improving

Built by two people. Growing with every update.

We’re Kate and Eugene - a husband-and-wife indie team in Barcelona. We design, code, animate, and ship Octi Flow ourselves, sharing the process as it grows.

How it started

It started with a simple question.

Could a hydration tracker feel less like a utility - and more like a companion?

Most trackers already knew how to count water. We wanted to explore the part that comes after the first download: what makes someone want to return tomorrow? That question became Octi Flow.

Every part of the app - from the Unity systems and interface to Octi’s character, animation, and iOS release - is shaped inside our two-person team.

The people behind Octi

Two people. One shared vision.

Everything in Octi Flow, from the visuals and animation to the code and releases, is created by the two of us.

Behind the details

A closer look at how Octi Flow is made.

Two small parts of the app that took a lot of testing, iteration, and care.

Interface design

Making water logging easier with one hand

We tested several layouts before choosing controls that feel quick, clear, and comfortable in daily use.

Character animation

How Octi reacts to your progress

Pose, timing, and expression turn a short animation into feedback that feels encouraging and alive.
