How Coblit designed and launched LIFT in under 6 months — an iOS and Android app that connects people through shared sports activities.
About the project
We designed and delivered a mobile app together with its back-end systems and marketing layer. Instead of the classic profile-based model, the app focuses on activities — users discover activities and join them with a single tap.
Project journey
People who want to be physically active often have nobody to train with and no way to find local events. Classic social apps don't solve this problem in the context of real-world activities.
From a business perspective, this meant serious challenges for the start-up. In social apps, no users means no value.

After launch, the client had a working product available on the market.
Who it’s for
We see similar challenges in many companies. If you recognise yourself in this list, this project shows what we can do for you too.
Start-ups building mobile apps
Companies creating social productsSports clubs and training organisersSports brands building a community
Projects that need fast idea validation
Businesses based on local eventsWhy it works
Users immediately see training sessions and local events, so they find people to get active with more quickly.
A simple mechanism lowers the barrier to taking part, which is a prerequisite for building a network effect.
One app went into the App Store and Google Play, widening the pool of first users.
Less than 6 months passed from idea to app in the stores, so the start-up could validate its idea sooner.
The app's WordPress website supports acquiring the first users.
How we ran the project
This is how we worked together on the LIFT project: from understanding the processes, through wireframes and architecture, to rollout and further development.
We talk to the people who will use the system. We map out how processes work today, where time and money are being lost, and how they should work a year from now, once the company has grown.
We build what solves a real problem — not a list of features nobody will use.
We design screens and user journeys in Figma and test a clickable prototype with future users before the first line of code is written.
You see and test the solution at the outset — changes to a mock-up cost a fraction of changes to a finished system. You can order the analysis and mock-ups as a separate stage.
We choose technologies to match the goal, the budget and the systems already running in the company. We design the architecture, integrations and data security so that the system can grow together with the business.
React NativeNo costly rework a year later — the system is ready for more users, more data and new features.
We work in short stages and show a working version every few weeks. We launch the features that deliver the biggest savings first.
You have constant visibility of progress, a say in the direction and see the first results sooner.
We test the system, migrate the data, launch it in the production environment and train the team in day-to-day use.
Project delivered in under 6 months — from idea to an app available in the stores.
A smooth start without downtime — from day one the team knows how to work in the new system.
After launch we monitor operation, respond to tickets under the SLA and extend the system with further features and automations.
One partner from idea to ongoing development — you are never left alone with the system.
