Contacts app

App Developer is needed in Sweden.

I want to create a desktop contact app for MacOS for personal use, using Tauri and a local SQLite database. I already have a working design and proof of concept that demonstrates the features I need. The app is quite basic at this stage, but if it works well, I would like to explore packaging it for my iPhone in the future. I value clean, well-documented code, and appreciate clear communication. While I am open to the use of AI-assisted tools, I am seeking a developer who can deliver code and solutions at the standard expected of a professional. I am a power-user with high technical proficiency and have prepared designs in Figma.

I’m looking for developers based in Sweden.

Budget range:
Small project ($750 – 1,500 USD)

Who are you, and what do you do?
This is a personal project with the app intended for my personal use. I’m a power-user with high tech proficiency, and have built a PoC in Figma. The app itself relies on simplicity and ease of use, and should fall comfortably and well within the scope of a professional developer. I expect code to be clean, clear and well documented, and while I don’t mind you using AI assistance I am not willing to pay for an AI generated app that I could’ve done myself.

In what capacity are you hiring?
For a personal project

Where are you in the hiring process?
I’m ready to make a paid hire

What type of work is this?
