Our work / Mobile App Development

Grati: a social app that turns everyday gratitude into recognition people actually feel

Resourcifi designed and built Grati, a native iOS and Android app where people publicly appreciate, celebrate, and thank one another, with a gratitude feed, a community spotlight, location based discovery, and a running history of every kind word given and received.

The challenge

What Grati needed to solve.

Recognition usually happens in a private message and then disappears. Grati wanted to make gratitude visible and social, a feed where appreciating a colleague, a friend, or a local business is one tap, where a celebration can carry a photo or video, and where every thank you is kept in one place. It had to feel warm and effortless across both iOS and Android.

Goals
  • Make giving gratitude a single, joyful tap
  • Turn recognition into a public, shareable feed
  • Let people celebrate with photos and video, not just text
  • Surface a community spotlight and nearby people to thank
  • Keep one warm, consistent experience across iOS and Android
The solution

Resourcifi built Grati as native iOS and Android apps on a Node.js and AWS backend. The app opens on a personal gratitude feed with a community spotlight, a central post button makes appreciating someone instant, and posts carry reactions, comments, reposts, and shares. A history view keeps a full ledger of gratitude offered and received, so every kind word stays in one warm, searchable place.

What we built

The Grati build, screen by screen.

01 · Welcome and sign in

A warm front door to gratitude

The first screen leads with the Grati wordmark on a soft purple gradient, then gets a member into the feed with a single sign in.

  • Grati wordmark on a purple gradient
  • Plain, friendly value line
  • One tap sign in
  • Create account in seconds
Native iOS and AndroidFirebase
02 · Gratitude feed and home

Every thank you in one warm stream

The home feed opens under a purple header with a search by location, a community spotlight pinned on top, and a stream of appreciations ready to react to.

  • Search people by location
  • Community spotlight pinned on top
  • Appreciation cards with reactions
  • Central button to post gratitude
SwiftNode.js
03 · Appreciate someone

Recognizing someone in one tap

The central button opens a composer to pick a person, write a thank you, and attach a photo or video, then post it straight to the feed.

  • Pick who you are thanking
  • Write the appreciation
  • Attach a photo or video
  • Post it to the feed
Media uploadsAWS
04 · Post detail and reactions

A celebration people can join

Each post carries the moment, the message, and the full set of reactions, so anyone can like, comment, repost, or share the gratitude.

  • Celebrant and recipient named
  • Photo or video moment
  • Like, comment, repost, share
  • Timestamps on every post
ReactionsNode.js
05 · Gratitude history

A ledger of every kind word

The history view keeps a running record, toggling between gratitude offered and the wider transactions, each entry held as a clear card.

  • Gratitude offered and transactions
  • Cards for each appreciation
  • Photo and video entries
  • Date and time on every record
Cloud backendAWS
06 · Member profile

Your gratitude, given and received

The profile holds a member identity, the count of gratitude given and received, and quick controls for location, notifications, and privacy.

  • Given and received totals
  • Location and discovery
  • Notification controls
  • Privacy settings
