Claude (iOS) — Jetpack Compose Implementation Guide

Companion to DESIGN.md — the framework-neutral spec. This file ports Claude’s visual language to Android with Jetpack Compose (Material 3): a color token object, a Typography set, paste-ready @Composables, Modifiers, motion, and haptics.

Why a Compose guide for an iOS-referenced app? The DESIGN.md tokens are platform-neutral. This file keeps the visual identity (Claude’s cream paper canvas, single terracotta accent, Tiempos serif assistant prose) while making everything idiomatic Android — a translucent Surface instead of .regularMaterial, FontFamily(Font(R.font.…)) instead of Font.custom, sp/dp instead of pt. The signature is text quality: Claude reads like an essayist, and the serif body is the manifest of that intent.

Assumes Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+, minSdk 24, Material 3, and Coil 2.6+ only if you render remote avatars (Claude’s mark is vector — no Palette needed).

1. Color Tokens

// ui/theme/ClaudeColors.kt
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color

object ClaudeColors {
    // Canvas (the Claude paper)
    val Cream     = Color(0xFFF8F4ED) // canvas — the most recognizable surface
    val Paper     = Color(0xFFFBF9F4) // elevated: input fill, code badges
    val Surface1  = Color(0xFFF0EAE0) // user pill, callouts
    val Surface2  = Color(0xFFE8E0D2) // pressed / chip fills
    val Sand      = Color(0xFFDDD2BD) // 0.5dp hairline dividers

    // Text (warm-tinted ink — never pure black)
    val Ink       = Color(0xFF2D2520) // primary
    val Graphite  = Color(0xFF5A4F44) // secondary — sender labels
    val Stone     = Color(0xFF8A7E72) // tertiary — placeholder, hints
    val Bone      = Color(0xFFB5AB9E) // disabled

    // Claude Orange (the signature accent — a verb, not a color)
    val Orange        = Color(0xFFD97757)
    val OrangePressed = Color(0xFFBE6242)
    val OrangeSoft    = Color(0xFFF2DDD0) // active chip, "Thinking…" fill

    // Code & Syntax (warm palette — never blue-tinted)
    val CodeBg       = Color(0xFF1F1B16)
    val CodeFg       = Color(0xFFE8E0D2)
    val SyntaxKey    = Color(0xFFD97757) // keywords — Claude Orange
    val SyntaxString = Color(0xFF7FB069) // sage
    val SyntaxNum    = Color(0xFFE8B96F) // gold
    val SyntaxFunc   = Color(0xFF9DA4F2) // periwinkle
    val SyntaxCmt    = Color(0xFF8A7E72) // warm grey

    // Semantic
    val Success = Color(0xFF6B9D5E)
    val Warning = Color(0xFFD49952)
    val Error   = Color(0xFFC16654)
    val Info    = Color(0xFF5A6273)

    // Dark mode (warm dark — preserves the paper feel)
    val DarkCanvas   = Color(0xFF1F1B16)
    val DarkSurface1 = Color(0xFF2A2520)
    val DarkSurface2 = Color(0xFF3A332C)
    val DarkText     = Color(0xFFE8E0D2)
    val DarkTextSec  = Color(0xFFB5AB9E)
    val OrangeSoftDk = Color(0xFF4A352A)
}

Claude defaults to the warm cream paper, so wire a lightColorScheme into the theme and provide a warm-dark counterpart. Claude Orange is never a Material container fill — it stays a deliberate accent.

// ui/theme/Theme.kt
import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme
import androidx.compose.material3.darkColorScheme
import androidx.compose.material3.lightColorScheme
import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable

private val ClaudeLight = lightColorScheme(
    primary        = ClaudeColors.Orange,
    onPrimary      = ClaudeColors.Paper,    // paper-white glyph on orange
    background     = ClaudeColors.Cream,
    onBackground   = ClaudeColors.Ink,
    surface        = ClaudeColors.Paper,
    onSurface      = ClaudeColors.Ink,
    surfaceVariant = ClaudeColors.Surface1,
    outline        = ClaudeColors.Sand,
    error          = ClaudeColors.Error,
)

private val ClaudeDark = darkColorScheme(
    primary        = ClaudeColors.Orange,   // unchanged — reads well on warm dark
    onPrimary      = ClaudeColors.DarkCanvas,
    background      = ClaudeColors.DarkCanvas,
    onBackground   = ClaudeColors.DarkText,
    surface        = ClaudeColors.DarkSurface1,
    onSurface      = ClaudeColors.DarkText,
    surfaceVariant = ClaudeColors.DarkSurface2,
    outline        = ClaudeColors.DarkSurface2,
    error          = ClaudeColors.Error,
)

@Composable
fun ClaudeTheme(useDark: Boolean = false, content: @Composable () -> Unit) =
    MaterialTheme(
        colorScheme = if (useDark) ClaudeDark else ClaudeLight,
        typography  = ClaudeTypography,
        content     = content,
    )

2. Typography

Tiempos and Styrene are proprietary (Klim Type Foundry). Drop the TTFs in res/font/ (lowercase, snake_case) and build two families. Fall back to Source Serif for the serif and the system sans (Roboto) — the closest free pairing on Android.

// ui/theme/ClaudeType.kt
import androidx.compose.material3.Typography
import androidx.compose.ui.text.TextStyle
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.Font
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontFamily
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontStyle
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontWeight
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp

// Assistant body & headings — the central typographic choice
val Tiempos = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.tiempos_text_regular,      FontWeight.Normal),
    Font(R.font.tiempos_text_italic,       FontWeight.Normal, FontStyle.Italic),
    Font(R.font.tiempos_text_semibold,     FontWeight.SemiBold),
    Font(R.font.tiempos_headline_semibold, FontWeight.Bold), // headings ramp
)

// UI chrome & user messages
val Styrene = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.styrene_a_regular,  FontWeight.Normal),
    Font(R.font.styrene_a_medium,   FontWeight.Medium),
    Font(R.font.styrene_a_semibold, FontWeight.SemiBold),
    Font(R.font.styrene_a_bold,     FontWeight.Bold),
)

val JetBrainsMono = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.jetbrains_mono_regular, FontWeight.Normal),
    Font(R.font.jetbrains_mono_medium,  FontWeight.Medium),
)

// Named ramp — mirrors DESIGN.md §3 exactly (pt → sp 1:1)
object ClaudeText {
    val Display       = TextStyle(Tiempos, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 32.sp, lineHeight = 38.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.4).sp)
    val ConvTitle     = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 18.sp, lineHeight = 23.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.1).sp)
    val H1            = TextStyle(Tiempos, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 24.sp, lineHeight = 31.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.2).sp)
    val H2            = TextStyle(Tiempos, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 20.sp, lineHeight = 26.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.1).sp)
    val H3            = TextStyle(Tiempos, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 17.sp, lineHeight = 23.sp)
    val Body          = TextStyle(Tiempos, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 25.sp) // 1.55× — non-negotiable
    val BodyBold      = TextStyle(Tiempos, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 25.sp)
    val BodyItalic    = TextStyle(Tiempos, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 25.sp, fontStyle = FontStyle.Italic)
    val User          = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 24.sp)
    val Action        = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 15.sp)
    val Chip          = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium,   fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp)
    val SenderLabel   = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium,   fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp)
    val Meta          = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 12.sp, lineHeight = 16.sp)
    val Caption       = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 14.sp)
    val GroupHeader   = TextStyle(Styrene, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp, letterSpacing = 0.4.sp)
    val CodeInline    = TextStyle(JetBrainsMono, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 14.sp, lineHeight = 20.sp)
    val CodeBlock     = TextStyle(JetBrainsMono, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 14.sp, lineHeight = 21.sp)
    val CodeLang      = TextStyle(JetBrainsMono, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp)
}

// Map onto Material 3 slots so stock components inherit the brand
val ClaudeTypography = Typography(
    displaySmall  = ClaudeText.Display,
    headlineLarge = ClaudeText.H1,
    headlineSmall = ClaudeText.H2,
    titleMedium   = ClaudeText.ConvTitle,
    bodyMedium    = ClaudeText.Body,
    labelMedium   = ClaudeText.Chip,
)

3. Signature Components

Asterisk-Star Logomark (Claude’s avatar)

The 6-point asterisk-meets-star mark. Draw it on a Compose Canvas — never tint it anything but Claude Orange (or Bone for the disabled model-picker state).

import androidx.compose.foundation.Canvas
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.geometry.Offset
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Path
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.Dp
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp
import kotlin.math.cos
import kotlin.math.sin

@Composable
fun ClaudeMark(
    size: Dp = 18.dp,
    color: Color = ClaudeColors.Orange,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
) {
    Canvas(modifier.size(size)) {
        val cx = this.size.width / 2f
        val cy = this.size.height / 2f
        val r = minOf(cx, cy)
        val inner = r * 0.18f
        val path = Path()
        repeat(6) { i ->
            val a = (Math.PI / 3 * i - Math.PI / 2).toFloat()
            val tip = Offset(cx + r * cos(a), cy + r * sin(a))
            val la = a + (Math.PI / 2).toFloat()
            val lBase = Offset(cx + inner * cos(la), cy + inner * sin(la))
            val rBase = Offset(cx - inner * cos(la), cy - inner * sin(la))
            path.moveTo(lBase.x, lBase.y)
            path.quadraticBezierTo((lBase.x + tip.x) / 2 + 1, (lBase.y + tip.y) / 2 + 1, tip.x, tip.y)
            path.quadraticBezierTo((tip.x + rBase.x) / 2 - 1, (tip.y + rBase.y) / 2 - 1, rBase.x, rBase.y)
            path.close()
        }
        drawPath(path, color)
    }
}

Assistant Message Block (the conversation hero)

No bubble, no container — just type flowing across the cream canvas, the mark leading.

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.*
import androidx.compose.material3.Text
import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment

@Composable
fun AssistantMessage(

    body: androidx.compose.ui.text.AnnotatedString, // pre-rendered markdown

    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
) {
    Column(
        modifier
            .fillMaxWidth()
            .padding(horizontal = 4.dp),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(12.dp),
    ) {
        Row(
            horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp),
            verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
        ) {
            ClaudeMark(size = 18.dp)
            Text("Claude", style = ClaudeText.SenderLabel, color = ClaudeColors.Graphite)
            Text("·", color = ClaudeColors.Stone)
            Text(modelName, style = ClaudeText.Chip, color = ClaudeColors.Stone)
        }
        Text(body, style = ClaudeText.Body, color = ClaudeColors.Ink) // 1.55× leading baked in
        if (isStreaming) StreamingCursor()
    }
}

Streaming Response Cursor (the orange caret)

8dp × 18dp, blinks 600ms (300 on / 300 off). Pauses while a token arrives.

import androidx.compose.animation.core.*

        animationSpec = infiniteRepeatable(tween(300, easing = LinearEasing), RepeatMode.Reverse),
        label = "blink",
    )
    Box(

            .background(ClaudeColors.Orange)
            .semantics { contentDescription = "Claude is responding" },
    )
}

User Message Pill

A soft pill on Surface Warm 1 — never a bubble with a tail. Right-aligned, max 80% width.

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.BoxWithConstraints

@Composable
fun UserMessage(text: String, modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {
    Row(modifier.fillMaxWidth().padding(horizontal = 4.dp), horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.End) {

                modifier = Modifier
                    .widthIn(max = maxWidth * 0.8f)
                    .clip(RoundedCornerShape(18.dp))
                    .background(ClaudeColors.Surface1)
                    .padding(horizontal = 16.dp, vertical = 12.dp),

4. Streaming Word-by-Word Animation (the signature dynamic)

Claude has no color extraction — its distinctive dynamic system is the word-by-word streaming with the blinking orange caret and the “Thinking…” pulse. Stream prose by appending tokens and fading each word in (never character-by-character — readability over typewriter drama).

5. Navigation

Claude has no bottom tab bar — it is a single-purpose chat with sidebar navigation. Use a ModalNavigationDrawer for conversation history; the top header is a slim 52dp Row over the cream canvas (no app bar elevation — content scrolls naturally underneath). Android has no live blur, so the header is just the opaque Cream surface.

import androidx.compose.material.icons.filled.Menu
import androidx.compose.material.icons.filled.MoreHoriz
import androidx.compose.material3.ModalDrawerSheet
import androidx.compose.material3.ModalNavigationDrawer
import androidx.compose.material3.rememberDrawerState
import androidx.compose.material3.DrawerValue

@Composable
fun ConversationScaffold(modelName: String, content: @Composable () -> Unit) {
    val drawer = rememberDrawerState(DrawerValue.Closed)
    ModalNavigationDrawer(
        drawerState = drawer,
        drawerContent = {
            ModalDrawerSheet(drawerContainerColor = ClaudeColors.Surface1) {
                // "+ New chat" Paper button + date-grouped conversation rows
            }
        },
    ) {
        Column(Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(ClaudeColors.Cream)) {
            Row(
                Modifier.fillMaxWidth().height(52.dp).padding(horizontal = 16.dp),
                verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
            ) {
                Icon(Icons.Filled.Menu, "Open history", tint = ClaudeColors.Ink, modifier = Modifier.size(18.dp))
                Spacer(Modifier.weight(1f))
                Text("Untitled chat", style = ClaudeText.ConvTitle, color = ClaudeColors.Ink)
                Spacer(Modifier.weight(1f))
                Icon(Icons.Filled.MoreHoriz, "Menu", tint = ClaudeColors.Ink, modifier = Modifier.size(18.dp))
            }
            content()
        }
    }
}

6. Motion

// User message slide-up after send
import androidx.compose.animation.slideInVertically
AnimatedVisibility(
    visible = sent,
    enter = slideInVertically(animationSpec = tween(300)) { it / 2 } + fadeIn(tween(300)),
) {
    UserMessage(text = lastSent)
}

Haptics: prefer LocalHapticFeedback. For richer control use LocalView.current.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackConstants.CONTEXT_CLICK) (API 30+) or a Vibrator VibrationEffect.createOneShot(12, …) to approximate iOS’s .medium send impact and .light copy tick.

7. Icons

Claude ships a custom asterisk-star mark (drawn on Canvas in §3). The rest map to androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended; export any bespoke glyphs as vector drawables and load via ImageVector.vectorResource(R.drawable.…).

8. Minimum SDK & Accessibility Notes

• minSdk 24 (Compose floor is 21; modern motion is comfortable at 24). compileSdk 34+, Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+.
• Edge-to-edge: call enableEdgeToEdge() in the Activity. The cream canvas wants dark-content system bars (WindowCompat + isAppearanceLightStatusBars = true); apply Modifier.windowInsetsPadding(WindowInsets.systemBars) so the pinned input clears the gesture nav.
• Font scaling: sp honors the user’s font scale automatically — keep it on assistant body, headings, user messages, list items, blockquotes. Pin layout-sensitive text (model chip, timestamps, the 16dp send glyph, code language label) by deriving size from dp or wrapping in CompositionLocalProvider(LocalDensity provides Density(density, fontScale = 1f)). Cap code-block scaling at 18sp to prevent overflow.
• TalkBack: make the assistant message a single node with Modifier.semantics(mergeDescendants = true) — announce model name then body; the streaming cursor announces “Claude is responding”. Give the copy button contentDescription = "Copy code" and a separate role.
• Touch targets: Material guidance is 48dp minimum. The 40dp send circle needs Modifier.size(48.dp) hit area via padding; the 10dp chevron and 32dp copy glyph likewise expand their hit area.
• Contrast: Ink (#2D2520) on Cream (#F8F4ED) clears WCAG AAA at all sizes. The real low-contrast pair is Stone #8A7E72 on Cream and Bone on Cream — validate the 11sp caption/group-header with a contrast checker and darken toward Graphite #5A4F44 if your build targets compliance. Never put Claude Orange on small body text.
• Reduce motion: when Settings.Global.ANIMATOR_DURATION_SCALE == 0f, skip the cursor blink and “Thinking…” pulse — cursor stays solid; word fade collapses to instant.
• Dynamic color: do not enable Material You dynamicLightColorScheme() — Claude’s brand requires the fixed #F8F4ED cream paper and the single terracotta accent regardless of wallpaper. Strong-brand app: keep the curated scheme.
