Overview

Imagine an app designed to help you stay in touch with the people you love. Instead of just scrolling through a giant list of names, you'd focus on those you truly want to call regularly - maybe your closest friends, parents, siblings, or that old mentor you keep meaning to catch up with.

After each call, you'd mark it off as "done," just like crossing a task off your to-do list. By the end of the week, month, or even the year, you'd see how often you've connected with your loved ones. It's a way to stay accountable, make those personal moments count, and never feel out of touch.

Concept

In today's hyper-connected world, we're constantly bombarded with notifications, messages, and digital noise. Despite being more "connected" than ever, many people report feeling increasingly disconnected from their closest relationships.

Reach was designed to address this paradox by helping users intentionally nurture their most important relationships through a focused, mindful approach to staying in touch.

Visual Language

The look and feel of Reach is all about clarity, warmth, and authenticity. Soft colors, friendly shapes, and clean layouts make it easy to focus on what mattersโ€”your relationships. The Project Left Navigation helps you find your way intuitively and keeps everything organized, so you always feel at home.

Conclusion

Designing Reach taught me that the most meaningful digital experiences often come from intentional constraints rather than endless features. By focusing on the core human need for genuine connection, we created an app that doesn't compete for attention but rather helps people be more present in their relationships. The challenge wasn't building another communication platformโ€”it was designing a tool that encourages users to step away from their screens and actually call the people they care about. In a world full of digital noise, sometimes the best technology is the one that helps us return to what truly matters: real conversations with real people.
