The Challenge
Most modern reminder applications are either overloaded with bloated task-management features or aggressively consume battery due to constant background location tracking.
Our goal was to build a lightweight, privacy-focused utility app that offers location-based alerts. The primary technical hurdle lay in creating geofencing mechanisms that were highly reliable but consumed minimal system resources.
Our Approach
- Designed a minimal, distraction-free card-based UI focusing on quick entry and ease of scheduling.
- Implemented intelligent background location polling intervals that scale back when the user is stationary.
- Adopted a fully local database model (SQLite & Drift ORM) to keep personal task data entirely private and instantly queryable offline.
