Celbrate

Overview

I always found it challenging to keep track of birthdays and name days. Previously, I relied on an iOS app, which did its job but had an awful interface and more importantly, later disappeared from the App Store. That is why I decided to create my own app, Celbrate, which would not only help me remember these important dates but also provide a pleasant user experience and useful features like widgets and notifications.

Creating this app taught me a lot about iOS development, Swift, and SwiftUI. Not only that, but I also learned how to work with Xcode, manage app lifecycle, and publish an app on the App Store. Thanks to this I am also able to manage testers and releases using TestFlight through the App Store Connect platform.

I keep updating the app from time to time, mainly to maintain compatibility with the latest iOS versions and add minor improvements.
