Inspiration

I noticed how many people — especially seniors or those without much digital experience — struggle with using everyday apps for reminders, calls, and settings. Many of them feel overwhelmed by cluttered interfaces or confusing icons. So I decided to create something that’s gentle, simple, and supportive — a digital companion that makes daily tech feel easy and empowering.

What it does

Tech Companion allows users to:

  • Set simple reminders (stored via localStorage)
  • Make quick calls (via clickable phone links)
  • Switch between light and dark themes
  • Navigate a clean, clutter-free interface designed for comfort

The idea is to provide only what’s needed, and remove everything that causes friction or anxiety.

How we built it

Built the app using:

  • HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend
  • localStorage to store reminders without a backend
  • Responsive design using Flexbox and media queries for mobile support
  • A custom theme switcher using JavaScript for light/dark mode I also paid special attention to layout spacing and iconography to make everything more accessible.

Challenges we ran into

  • Getting localStorage to work in a user-friendly way with reminders
  • Making sure the UI worked well on both desktop and mobile screens
  • Keeping everything visually clean while still showing enough information

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • A fully working prototype with reminder functionality and theme toggling
  • A UI that is both modern and beginner-friendly
  • Creating a tech project that puts human comfort first

What we learned

  • How to use localStorage effectively for basic app functionality
  • How important visual hierarchy and spacing is for user clarity
  • How to work with constraints (no backend!) and still build something useful

What's next for Tech Companion

I plan to:

  • Add voice-to-text reminders
  • Include simple tutorials or tooltips for first-time users
  • Explore adding multi-language support
  • Build a more robust version with backend integration (Firebase or Supabase)
