OLAD - Personal AI Note App
OLAD An AI Minimalist Daily Journaling App Built with FlutterFlow
OLAD is a mobile journaling app designed to help users build the habit of mindful reflection — one line at a time. I developed it using FlutterFlow, focusing on creating a seamless, low-friction experience that encourages users to write one short note daily and track their streaks.
The goal was to build an app that combines habit formation psychology with beautiful minimal design, helping people capture life’s moments without the overwhelm of traditional journaling apps.

🧩 The Problem

Most journaling apps overwhelm users with too many features — tags, mood charts, templates, AI summaries, etc. This complexity leads to drop-offs, as users feel pressured to write long entries or engage deeply every day.
We needed a solution that:
Makes journaling feel effortless
Encourages daily consistency through simplicity
Works seamlessly across devices
Supports future growth with scalable architecture
Key features / strengths:
Simple, distraction-free interface
Daily reminders
Viewing past entries by date
Private and secure (data encryption in transit / user has deletion rights) Google Play
It aims to lower the barrier to journaling (only one line) — making it more sustainable.

🚀 The Solution

Using FlutterFlow, I designed and built OLAD to make journaling simple, delightful, and habit-forming.

Key Features:

✍️ One Line a Day Input: Minimal interface that reduces friction and builds consistency.
🔥 Daily Streak Tracking: Encourages accountability and long-term engagement.
🧭 Onboarding Flow: Guided welcome screens and a short quiz to personalize user experience.
💳 Integrated Payment Page: Smooth upgrade path for premium features.
📸 Image Attachments: Users can add a daily photo for visual journaling.
🔐 Data Privacy Controls: Local storage and encryption ensure personal notes stay private.
Built entirely in FlutterFlow, OLAD leverages Firebase backend for authentication, data storage, and streak tracking logic.

⚙️ My Role

Role: FlutterFlow Developer & Product Designer Tools Used: FlutterFlow, Firebase, Figma, Canva, RevenueCat (for IAP), Notion (for project management) Responsibilities:
Designed the UI/UX with a focus on emotional simplicity
Built the full app using FlutterFlow’s visual development tools
Integrated Firebase for user authentication and data storage
Set up streak logic, notifications, and payment flow

🔍 What Makes This Project Special

No-Code Speed, Pro-Code Quality: Built 100% in FlutterFlow with advanced logic blocks and Firebase integration
Habit Psychology + Design Thinking: The app’s flow was crafted around behavioral science principles
Scalable Architecture: Designed for easy feature expansion — analytics, insights, AI reflections, etc.
