Reach'd

Inspiration

I bike to my school everyday, and everyday, I forget to text my mom that I got there safely, which ends up with me getting a lecture. Everyday. Like clockwork. So I needed to create something that would do it for me. That's how I came up with Reach'd

What it does

Reach'd uses geofences, a virtual boundary placed on a map; so when you reach or leave your destination, Reach'd can automatically text your friends and family that you have gotten where you need to go — no hassle.

How I built it

I used Swift to create the iOS app, and I used the textbelt RESTful api to automatically send text messages.

What's next for Reach'd

-[ ] Favorite contacts to send your messages to -[ ] Timed reminders, for example let you know each morning at 7:00 to set up your message with 3 clicks and be ready to go -[ ] Push notifications
