The person behind Jaunty.
I made a timetable app for myself. My friends liked it, so I kept going.
How it started
Built for my timetable.Shared with my friends.
A personal project, shared.01WHERE IT STARTED
The semester was busy enough.
My school timetable was awkward to use on my phone. Putting it into my calendar meant entering the classes, times, and rooms one by one. Other apps put useful features behind a paywall. I wanted something that worked for me.

I mainly built Jaunty for myself. When I found out my friends liked it, I realised the thing I had made to solve my own problem could help them as well. That gave me a reason to share it.
