Mental Reminders
Mental Reminders is a groundbreaking commonplace book app that notifies users of significant quotes they input, based on their importance level. As my first mobile app project, I managed all operations and development, created the branding, and developed a comprehensive launch plan. This experience allowed me to tackle the unique challenges of mobile app marketing, ensuring the app is well-positioned for a successful launch later this year.
Project Description
Developing an app from the ground up requires a blend of strategic vision, operational management, and creative marketing. Mental Reminders, a unique commonplace book app designed to notify users of important quotes and insights, was a project where I wore many hats. I handled nearly all aspects of managing the app’s development, branding, & marketing strategy, ensuring a smooth launch.
Working on Mental Reminders marked my first journey into mobile application development and marketing, presenting a new set of challenges that I thoroughly enjoyed tackling. Mobile app marketing differs significantly from traditional digital marketing, requiring a focus on user acquisition, retention, and engagement through app stores, push notifications, and in-app experiences. Adapting to these nuances and crafting strategies to optimize the app's visibility and appeal was a rewarding experience that expanded my skill set and understanding of the mobile app ecosystem.
In the digital age, managing and reflecting on personal insights and quotes can be a transformative experience. Mental Reminders aims to revolutionize how users interact with their favorite quotes by delivering them randomly based on their importance, thus maintaining their impact and preventing them from becoming mundane tasks.
