Simple app for a big problem


Why I created this app
AddressKeeper is the name of my last mobile app, but why I developed it?
Some time ago, after my Erasmus in France, I went back to Italy for a while before returning to France, which meant I had to change my phone number twice.
What happened was that I forgot to update the number on some of my accounts. Eventually, my old number was inherited by a new user. When they tried to register on Snapchat, the app told them the number was already in use. They then used it to recover my password, stole my Snapchat account, and started pranking my contacts.
So, I tried to update my number on every service I could remember, but even though I use Bitwarden, this information wasn't always available.
With an app to keep track of where I've used my number, I would have saved a lot of time and problems.
So, since I also change my home address often, I told myself that a dedicated app for keeping track of this information could be useful, even for updating these details on bureaucratic websites.
Which technologies I used
As a big part of my projects, this app is open-source on GitHub.
I used my favourite technology for mobile, Flutter.
I decided to store information locally, there is no login, no online services, nothing at all, just all stocked on your mobile database. I thought to implement a bluetooth synchronisation with other devices but not for the moment.
I developed this app with a particular design called neumorphism, so a stuff like this:
For curious you can find a good library here.
I think this is a minimalist and elegant design. Some believe it will soon become a popular design for its effectiveness, as you can see from my application, everything is immediately clear and visible.
So, if you're using a text file to keep track of the websites and apps where you enter your information, download my app. It has no ads, is completely free, and you can contribute to the project if you'd like!
