(01) Overview

Reimagining Reminders to Strengthen Real Human Connections

We’ve all missed an important birthday — not because we didn’t care, but because reminders today are cold, impersonal, and easy to ignore. Despite all our digital tools, there’s still no product that treats these moments with the emotional weight they deserve.

Zanni was created to fix that. A simple mobile companion that syncs with your Facebook calendar and transforms upcoming birthdays into small but meaningful gestures. Smart notifications, ready-to-send messages, gift ideas, and celebration suggestions — all designed to turn a forgotten task into a thoughtful action.

More than just an app, Zanni aims to become the leading platform for celebrating the people who matter most. Today, it reminds. Tomorrow, it organizes — from group gifting to curated venues — creating a new digital habit rooted in empathy and connection.

Designing a Flow That Feels Instinctive and Human

The experience is built around one core idea: make every step feel effortless and warm. Onboarding is instant. One tap to sync, and you’re ready. 
The interface is quiet, elegant, and free of clutter : every screen focused on clarity, hierarchy, and emotional tone.

User feedback shaped the product early. People wanted reminders that felt soft, not robotic. That insight guided our copy, interactions, and visual design from typography to micro-interactions. A Zanni notification doesn’t interrupt your day; it invites you to reach out.

From design to message, everything in Zanni serves one purpose: helping you care, without making it complicated.
