Presented.
A birthday-reminder app that also helps you remember gift ideas and important details, like clothing sizes, about your loved ones.
Every year, someone important to you has a birthday. And every year, you remember too late, or you panic-buy something forgettable. Presented is a gift-tracking app that fixes the moment before it goes wrong.
From idea to App Store
- 01
Step 1 - Ideation
I forgot my aunt's birthday, again. At the time I was just done with my 2nd app and was looking for new ideas. I immediately came up with a core differentiator; this birthday reminder app would have a gift saving feature.
- 02
Step 2 - Visualize
I started visualising everything about the app; the app icon, name, UI.
- 03
Step 3 - Build, in public
Then it was time to start building. I had a rough idea of how it should look, but a very clear plan what had to be built before release. Every time I made progress I shared it on social media. Some posts got attention and I managed to get feedback before the app was even released.

Step 4 - Ship
After a few days it was time to ship the first version. I have learned from past projects that shipping a minimal viable product (MVP) is the best way to keep yourself on track and gather user feedback.
What I achieved
"I shed a tear when I saw someone paid for my app. It meant the world to me that something I built was worth paying for.
