Obelist is a list and note‑taking app designed specifically with neurodiverse users in mind, while also catering to anyone seeking an alternative to traditional list apps. It prioritizes clear structure, breaking tasks into manageable, step‑by‑step actions, and provides a flexible approach to time management, making it more adaptable to individual needs.
Obelist was a highly research-driven project, where I conducted both user research and user testing to shape the app’s development. I began by creating a detailed user flow, outlining the app’s core functions and content structure. Following this, I carried out secondary research, reviewing articles and studies to identify key features, correlations, and techniques that could enhance the app’s usability and overall user experience.

I began secondary research by exploring reputable sources, including Google Scholar, to gather insights from existing studies and industry reports. To streamline the process, I leveraged AI tools for keyword generation and content sorting, helping me quickly identify and analyze the most relevant articles and research findings.

Over a two-week period, I conducted in-depth user research interviews focusing on the web app to gather detailed feedback from real users. These sessions provided valuable insights into how users interact with the app, revealing both strengths and areas that require improvement. By carefully analyzing the interview responses, I was able to identify key pain points experienced by users, such as difficulties navigating certain features, confusion around specific functionalities, and performance issues that impacted the overall experience. Additionally, the interviews highlighted important aspects of the app that need enhancement to better meet user needs and expectations. This research formed the foundation for prioritizing design improvements and refining the app’s usability, ensuring a more intuitive and seamless user experience moving forward.
