Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 6, Utility: 3)

Mosaic is an iOS home screen icon sorting tool that uses an evolutionary algorithm to arrange icons by color. It applies a genetic algorithm with multi-objective scoring to solve a Traveling Salesman Problem-like layout, converting app icons into Lab color space for perceptually uniform clustering. The project is interesting for its creative application of evolutionary computation to a niche aesthetic task.

Target audience: hobbyists, ios enthusiasts
