Design a polished iOS GUI for Aegis antivirus app

[theonlychant]

Summary

We need a modern, privacy-first iOS application UI for Aegis that exposes and safely controls the native scanning engine (XCFramework). The UI should be approachable for non-technical users while giving advanced options for power users and administrators.

Goals

• Clear home/status screen with quick-scan and scheduled-scan controls.
• Scan results with severity (low/medium/high), evidence, recommended remediation, and safe quarantine flows.
• Quarantine management and detailed item views (restore, delete, report).
• Rulepack manager: check for updates, manual install, and version history.
• Scheduling and background scan support with clear user consent & privacy-preserving defaults.
• Accessibility (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type), localization-ready strings, and dark mode.
• SwiftUI preferred for new UI work; the UI must interoperate with the existing Swift wrapper that calls the XCFramework.

Deliverables

• Interactive Figma/Sketch mockups for key screens: Home, Scan Results, Quarantine, Settings, Rulepack Manager.
• Design system (tokens & components): color tokens, typography scales, spacing, icon set, and component library.
• A small SwiftUI prototype (one screen) demonstrating integration with the XCFramework wrapper.
• Integration notes and test plan: how the UI calls the Swift wrapper, expected inputs/outputs, and unit/UI tests.

Checklist

• Figma mockups for Home, Scan Results, Settings, Quarantine, Rulepack Manager
• Design tokens and component spec
• Accessibility checks (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, contrast)
• Dark mode support
• SwiftUI prototype and integration example
• Acceptance criteria and user flows (onboarding, scanning, quarantine)

Notes

• We currently produce an XCFramework for the native engine; the UI will call the Swift wrapper. If you can help implement the SwiftUI prototype, reply with availability and GitHub handle to be assigned.

Please attach Figma links or upload starter mockups to this issue. If you want the maintainers to seed a SwiftUI starter screen, say so here and I will open a PR with a minimal example.

Why Figma is the best choice:

• Used by real product teams (Apple-level workflows)
• Perfect for UI/UX design + prototyping
• Lets you design your entire site + app UI (same place)
• Easy to share, iterate, and export assets

Supports:

• Auto layout (responsive design)
• Design systems (very important for Aegis)
• Dark mode variants (your project needs this)

For your case (Aegis):

• Design the website AND the iOS app UI from issue Design a polished iOS GUI for Aegis antivirus app #5 together
• Keep consistent: colors, typography, component system (buttons, cards, alerts, severity indicators)

This is exactly what a “privacy-first antivirus product” needs: consistency + clarity

Framer - Why use it briefly:

• Visual builder that can publish live sites
• Built-in animations for product demos
• Good for quick live landing pages or animated scan flow demos
• Downside: less control than a full dev stack; prefer for rapid prototypes

Next.js + Tailwind CSS - Why this combo:

• Used for real SaaS/security product sites
• Full control over performance, SEO, scalability
• Workflow: Design in Figma → Build in Next.js + Tailwind → Deploy (Vercel)

Recommended workflow for Aegis:

1. Design everything in Figma (website + app UI)
2. Prototype interactive flows in Figma or Framer
3. Build website in Next.js + Tailwind
4. Match app UI in SwiftUI using the same design tokens

Notes:

• I created local draft pages under website/ (index, features, privacy, how-it-works). These are local drafts and not pushed.
• If you want, I can push these drafts and open a PR, attach Figma links, or seed a SwiftUI PR wiring the prototype.
