Catchup
2023
Catchup is an iPhone app I created to solve a problem I've had for years: keeping in touch with friends and family who live far away. Despite caring about these people, I'd go months or years without talking to them.
While technology offers many ways to communicate, it hasn't always helped us do so with depth and intention. That's what Catchup is for. It's "social" technology but not "social media."
Catchup is the first iPhone app I created, developed as I learned SwiftUI. It lets you choose your closest contacts, set a frequency for speaking to them, track whether you're meeting your goal, and record notes about your conversations.
Since its release, Catchup has evolved a modest but meaningful user base that relies on it to maintain their most important relationships. It was featured on TechCrunch and The Verge.
