About Diatom: Your Personal Event Organizer & Gift Assistant

With Diatom, you get event reminders, a calendar, and gift ideas all in one app. Instead of keeping everything in different apps, users can manage birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions in a single space, while also getting suggestions for gifts that actually make sense.

The Task: Cross-Platform Social App with Smart Features

The goal was to build a mobile app that connects users with their social circles and simplifies event planning. We wanted the app to bring together calendars, reminders, and wishlists, while also making it simple to manage friends and events.

Functionality

Account Creation: Social Login & Personality Quiz

Signing up can be made with an email or using their Google or Facebook accounts.

 

While onboarding, there is an option to add dates for important events such as birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries and personalize their profile by adding and cropping a profile photo.

 

Users can also unlock their unique personality type by participating in the quiz. The results calculation will show the type of engagement users refer to and what is personally important for them. The results will not only help generate personalized wishlists but can also be shared with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, or Google.

Community: Contact Sync & Friend Profiles

The app allows syncing contacts from the phonebook and Facebook. Profiles for friends can be created in advance or managed directly in the app, which makes event planning simpler and more structured.

User Profile: Events, Insights & Wishlists

Each profile shows upcoming events, saved wishes, and friend lists. Everything is grouped in a way that makes it easy to navigate and quickly find what you need.

Calendar: Events, Reminders & Timezone Support

The calendar keeps track of all upcoming events. It supports reminders, recurring events, and timezone handling, which is useful when users are in different locations.

Notifications: Twilio SMS & Push

We included SMS notifications with Twilio and regular push notifications, so users always stay updated and never miss an important date.

Additional Features: Wishlists & Gift Planning

The app generates personalized wishlists based on user preferences and quiz results. This makes gift selection easier and removes a lot of guesswork.

Results: A Complete Social App Ready for Launch

Diatom combines event tracking, reminders, and gift planning in one app. It gives users a simple way to stay organized and manage their social life without extra effort.
