Developer needed to launch a family organizer app (backend + accounts)

Developer needed to launch a family organizer app (backend + accounts) Short version I’ve already built a working prototype of a family management app. It looks and behaves the way I want. What it can’t do yet is the “behind the scenes” part: save information in one shared place so every family member sees the same thing on their own phone, let each person log in, and send reminder notifications. I need a developer to build that part and get the app live so my family can actually use it on our phones. One thing that matters a lot to me, please read carefully: after you finish, I need to be able to keep changing and improving the app myself, working with an AI assistant — without having to hire or contact anyone again. So everything you build has to be handed over to me completely, written cleanly and simply, and explained well enough that an AI assistant can understand it and help me make future edits. No locked-down systems, no “only I can touch this” setups, no surprise dependencies. I own all of it. What the app is It’s a private organizer for my household (two parents, six kids). It has five sections: • Today — a daily summary for each person (their schedule, their tasks, family meal/afternoon plans). • Schedule — a weekly calendar: who’s driving which kid to which school, each parent’s work day and hours, kids’ activities, meal and afternoon plans. • Chores — daily and weekly tasks you can assign to specific people, and check off when done. • Lists — grocery and supply lists. • Tonight — an evening summary of chores that still aren’t finished. The look, layout, colors, and how everything behaves are already done. I’m not asking you to design anything. I’m asking you to make it real and shared. What I need you to build 1. One shared place to store our information (the part it’s missing most). Right now, anything I type only saves on the device I typed it on. My wife’s phone and the kids’ devices don’t see it. I need all our information kept in one shared online location so that when anyone makes a change, everyone else’s device updates too, within a few seconds. 2. A login for each family member. Simple and family-friendly: you open the app, tap your name from a list, and type a PIN. Once you’ve logged in on your own phone, it should keep you logged in so you don’t have to do it every time. Every person — both parents and all six kids — gets their own login. Parents can edit everything; kids mainly see their own stuff and check off their own chores. The app already has a built-in “who’s using this” concept; your login system just needs to drive it for real. 3. Notifications to people’s phones. • Every morning, each person gets a notification with their summary for the day. • Every evening at 8:00 PM, each person gets a reminder of any chores they haven’t finished that day. The app already knows exactly what each of those messages should say — I just need them actually delivered to phones on schedule. 4. Shared photo proof for kids’ chores. When a kid marks a chore done, the app already makes them take a photo as proof. Right now that photo is stuck on the kid’s device. I need those photos saved in our shared location so my wife and I can see them from our own phones. What “done” looks like • My family can install or open the app on our phones and each log in with our name and PIN. • A change one person makes shows up on everyone else’s device. • Morning summaries and 8:00 PM chore reminders arrive as phone notifications. • Kids’ chore photos are visible to the parents on their own devices. • It runs reliably without me needing to babysit it. Very important: I need to be able to maintain it myself afterward I work on this app with an AI assistant, and I plan to keep improving it that way for a long time. So I’m asking that you: • Hand over everything — all the code, all the accounts and passwords, all the settings — in my name, owned by me. Nothing stays under your account. • Write it cleanly and simply. Please don’t over-complicate it or add tools and layers that aren’t truly needed. The simpler and more standard it is, the easier it is for me and an AI assistant to understand and change later. • Comment and document it in plain terms: what each part does, where things live, and how to make common changes (like adding a person, changing a notification time, or adjusting a list). • Write a short “how it works” guide for a non-developer — how to find things, how to change them safely, and how to undo a mistake. • Avoid lock-in. Use widely used, well-known building blocks (the kind an AI assistant will already understand), not anything obscure or proprietary that only you would know how to maintain. • Do a handoff call or video walking me through it so I’m comfortable taking it from there. If anything about how it’s built would make it hard for me to edit later on my own, please tell me up front. To apply, please tell me • A short note, in plain English, on how you’d approach this — especially how you’ll keep it simple and easy for me to maintain myself afterward. • Whether you’d build it so it works on iPhones and Android (and whether that’s a website-style app or an installable app — explain the trade-offs simply). • A rough estimate of cost and timeline. • One or two examples of similar things you’ve built. A few notes • This is a private app for my family only — not something I’m selling. It doesn’t need to handle thousands of users, just the eight of us. • Privacy matters: it includes my kids’ photos and our daily whereabouts, so it needs to be kept private and secure. • I already have the full working front end (the part you see and tap). I’ll share it with the right person. You’re building the engine behind it and getting it onto our phones.
