This idea came from when I was using many mobile applications with one hand on the subway.
I found that using the tab bar with one hand was a pain. For me, a right-handed person,
the leftmost tab-bar icon was often difficult to press. Yes, I was able to reach it, but it forced me to use a very uncomfortable hand gesture.
That was why I wanted to redesign the Tab Bar. To illustrate one design idea, I also created an interactive prototype (Origami)

Grab a quick glimpse of the weather outside.
I often found that I want to grab a “quick glimpse” of the weather/temperature without opening the whole app and wasting more time, so I explored this interaction.
This interaction was designed in a way that won't interfere with the original IOS "press-hold-app wiggle" functionality.
