Velumo brings tasks, reminders, goals, calendar and personal finances together in one simple system, then uses AI to turn them into a clear plan for the day — so users always know what to do next.
We turned the concept into a polished native iOS app: product discovery, UI/UX design, iOS development, AI integration, subscriptions, admin panel, QA and deployment.
Most people manage their day across several disconnected apps — one for tasks, another for reminders, a calendar for events, a notes app for goals and a spreadsheet for spending.
That creates mental clutter. Important things slip through the gaps, and a lot of time goes on deciding what to do rather than doing it. Many productivity apps answer with more features, but they become complicated and overwhelming, which pushes people back to their old habits.
Velumo was created as one intelligent planner that pulls everything together and does the organising for the user: a focused, achievable daily plan with no clutter — simple enough that people open it every morning and keep using it.
We approached Velumo as a focused productivity product where simplicity, speed and intelligent automation were central to the experience.
Requirements built around one outcome: open the app and immediately see a clear, achievable plan for the day.
A clean, distraction-free interface with a morning dashboard, and every feature one tap away.
An assistant that organises the day and prioritises tasks, later creating tasks, events and goals from natural language.
Built with Apple’s own technologies for iPhone (iOS 15.6+), also running on Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision.
Reminders, recurring schedules, notifications and AI responses tested daily; updates to v1.5 improved AI speed and accuracy.
Released on the App Store as a free download with optional monthly and yearly subscriptions.
Tasks, reminders, goals, calendar and budgeting are usually separate apps. Combining them risks a crowded, confusing product.
We designed a clean, distraction-free interface with a morning dashboard at its centre — one clear overview, with each feature kept simple and easy to reach.
Even with the right tools, deciding what to do and when takes time and energy.
AI organises tasks, goals, reminders, finances and events into a focused daily plan, prioritises what matters and offers personalised suggestions.
Filling in forms for every task or event slows people down and discourages regular use.
Users simply type what they need, and the AI creates the matching tasks, events and goals automatically — including step-by-step goal plans.
A planner is only useful if reminders arrive on time, every time.
Building natively let us use Apple’s notification system directly, supporting one-time and recurring reminders with alerts for upcoming and missed items.
The app needed a sustainable business model without putting off new users.
A freemium model: a free tier with core planning, calendar and goal views, and optional monthly or yearly subscriptions that unlock unlimited reminders, full AI planning and every feature.
Built with Apple’s own technologies for smooth performance and direct access to system features. Supports iPhone (iOS 15.6+), Apple silicon Macs (macOS 12.5+) and Apple Vision.
AI powers the daily plan, task prioritisation, natural language creation of tasks, events and goals, goal planning and personalised suggestions.
iOS notifications deliver reminders on schedule, along with alerts for upcoming and missed items.
Day, week and month views bring events and tasks into one schedule, while expense and category tracking provides simple spending insights.
Native in-app purchases handle plans, auto-renewal and feature access between the free and premium tiers.
A web-based admin panel supports the app and hosts its privacy policy and terms and conditions.
As the development partner, our agency was involved in transforming the product concept into a complete native mobile application — and in the AI improvements that followed launch.
A focused AI planner that turns a scattered set of tasks, reminders, goals, events and expenses into one clear plan for the day — holding a perfect 5.0-star rating from 14 ratings on the UK App Store.
Users describe Velumo as refreshingly simple and uncluttered, say it puts everything they need in one place, and single out the AI as a highlight; several have already made it part of their daily routine. Since launch, releases have added natural language creation, AI goal planning, personalised daily suggestions and faster AI responses — so people can start every day knowing exactly what to do next.
