TheraForge's OTFTemplateBox is a template framework for zero-code app customization. It can be used by programmers as well as by non-programmers to customize their digital health app just by editing a YAML file in a text editor. This framework supports an app configuration and a UX customization file with default overridable values.
OTFTemplateBox provides a number of customization options for the application through the AppSysParameters.yml file. This file is a text-based table that contains key/value pairs. Each pair specifies a different application parameter, which is a redefinable constant for the app to read at launch to define parts of its behavior.
Every key must be associated to a value but the app will not crash if the value is missing or mistyped.
Please refer to the OTFToolBox Readme for the full details of the configuration file.

TheraForge's OTFTemplateBox framework provides the YAML file where you can customize the parameters of your digital health applications. The OTFTemplateBox framework has predefined functions which read the YAML file and style your application accordingly. This framework provides an app template library based on a user-modifiable YAML file for flexible customization of constants, texts, images, links, styles, etc. The OTFTemplateBox framework is dependent on the Yams, OTFCareKitUI, OTFToolBoxCore and OTFDesignSystem frameworks.
You can create your own template application in a few minutes using the OTFTemplate framework. Prior to creating a template application, you need to have a macOS computer and the Xcode tool.
If you are new to Xcode, then follow this Xcode article to understand the steps to create a new application.
Integrating OTFTemplateBox with an existing workspace requires the extra line below to be added to your Podfile.
