EcoTrack – A Gamified Mobile App for Sustainable Living [Urgent]

App Developer is needed in Italy.

We are GreenPath, and our mission is to help people make sustainable living an engaging and rewarding habit through technology. Our first project is EcoTrack, a mobile app that transforms small, everyday eco-friendly actions into meaningful achievements using gamified incentives. We want users to take on daily and weekly green challenges, such as recycling or choosing sustainable transportation, and reward them with points that can be exchanged for real-world benefits like discounts or donations. The app will have a soft, organic look and a friendly, intuitive interface inspired by top wellness and gamified apps. We are bootstrapping and taking an MVP-first approach, seeking freelancers who are truly passionate about sustainability, excited to shape the experience, and ready to build the first chapter of this journey. We need people who can take on design, frontend (mobile cross-platform), backend, copywriting, and QA/testing to make EcoTrack a standout MVP.

Budget range:
$5,000 – 10,000 USD

Who are you, and what do you do?
Hi everyone, My name is Max, and this is my first venture. I’m not a seasoned CEO with a list of exits. I’m someone who genuinely believes we can use tech to make sustainable living not just a duty, but a rewarding and engaging habit. That’s why I’m starting GreenPath. Our first and most important project is EcoTrack — a mobile app designed to turn everyday eco-actions into a meaningful and even fun journey. Think of it as a friendly guide that helps you reduce your environmental footprint, celebrate small wins, and connect your personal efforts to a bigger picture. Why this matters to me (and, I hope, to you):
I’m tired of seeing climate anxiety and feeling powerless. I believe technology should bridge the gap between intention and action. EcoTrack won’t be another guilt-tripping checklist. It will be a positive, supportive companion on your green path. That’s the vision. Why “GreenPath”?
The name reflects our philosophy. We don’t believe in drastic, one-off changes that don’t last. We believe in a path — a consistent, progressive, and personal journey towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Our role is to pave that path, make it clearer, and walk it with our users. Here’s the honest truth: This is a bootstrapped, MVP-first project. We’re building from the ground up. I’m looking for partners and co-creators, not just task-doers. Your voice, your ideas, and your critique will shape EcoTrack from day one. The budget is limited but realistic. I value your expertise and time, and I’ve allocated funds accordingly for this first phase. My goal is to build a fantastic MVP, prove the concept, and grow with the team. Who I’m looking for:
I need to assemble a small, mighty crew of freelancers who are not only brilliant at what they do but also get excited by the why behind it. A Product Sensei (UI/UX Designer): I need someone who can take this vision and translate it into an interface that feels like a breath of fresh air. It should be calming, intuitive, and have that subtle gamified spark. If you love creating experiences that are both beautiful and meaningful, let’s talk. A Code Storyteller (Frontend Dev - React Native/Flutter): Your job is to bring that design to life with smooth animations and buttery performance. The app should feel alive and responsive, making the user’s progress feel tangible. The Architect (Backend Developer): You’ll build the brain and the memory. A robust, scalable system to track actions, calculate impact, manage users, and securely handle data. You’re laying the foundation for everything. A Wordsmith with a Mission (Copywriter): This app’s tone is crucial. No corporate jargon, no eco-shaming. We need clear, encouraging, and sometimes playful text that motivates and educates. Can you make a challenge to save water sound inspiring? What’s next?
If you’ve read this far and feel a spark—not just for a project, but for a mission—then you might be who I’m looking for. I’m building GreenPath on the principles of transparency, respect, and shared purpose. Let’s have a chat. Tell me about your work, but more importantly, tell me what you care about. Let’s see if we can build the first chapter of GreenPath together.
