CareRechner
Empowering equality with technology! Our app, CareRechner, sheds light on the unseen value of unpaid care work, primarily shouldered by women. With an intuitive interface, it calculates the financial worth of caregiving hours in just two steps. Spark meaningful conversations and advocate for change with shareable results. Let’s close the gender care gap—together.
We designed and developed this native iOS app using Figma for prototyping and SwiftUI for seamless performance on iPhone and iPad. Collaborating closely with the wonderful Johanna Fröhlich Zapata, we transformed a comprehensive study into an engaging, user-friendly tool that educates and empowers women to recognize and advocate for their contributions.

It helps make things visible!
Many people don’t even see why we women are so exhausted. Why things just aren’t working in society right now. For example, childcare is once again falling back on women. Because they earn less, are already working part-time, and are “so much better” at it. What a joke. The app makes things visible. I hope it will continue to be developed. A tracker, a tool for distributing responsibilities when people live together in a household, or additional infographics would be fantastic.
