Devin Davies is a skilled cook and developer who created the app Crouton, a cooking aid that won the 2024 Apple Design Award for Interaction. Crouton is a recipe manager and kitchen assistant that collects recipes from various sources and organizes them using machine learning models. The app displays only the current step, ingredients, and measurements, making it easy to use while cooking. Davies, a self-taught Swift developer, built Crouton to solve his own meal planning problems and initially used it with his mom as the main active users. The app gained traction over time and eventually won the Apple Design Award, which Davies attributes to his approach to interaction and user experience. He hopes to explore new features such as Apple Intelligence and Live Activities on Apple Watch while maintaining the app's core intentions. Davies believes that Crouton's personal nature, being used in kitchens to prepare meals for loved ones, makes it a significant influence on people's daily lives. He values user feedback and is grateful for the kind responses he receives, even when users encounter bugs or misunderstandings. Davies' experience with Swift and Apple's development tools allowed him to build a model to detect ingredients and create a seamless user experience. He is proud of Crouton's ability to make a direct impact on people's lives and is committed to continuing to improve the app.
