## Overview

MindPlus is a meditation app for children, young people and adults, with guided tracks for sleep, stress and focus. We rebuilt the app and the backend, and brought the monthly hosting and service cost down by 98%. The player also has a whitelabel design for Hotel Odeon, where guests scan a QR code in their room for access to the meditations during their stay.

The app had been through several vendors and an expensive hosting setup. MindPlus needed a stable app, a backend that could run without a large operations budget, and a release cadence that matched the content team.

We rebuilt the app in Flutter and the backend in NestJS with MongoDB. The app uses Riverpod and Clean Architecture, with shared packages for UI, validation and API. The backend handles subscriptions, content, statistics and notifications, with S3-compatible or Azure Blob storage.

Monthly hosting and service costs fell by 98%. A Flutter task quoted at DKK 40,000 was delivered for DKK 5,000. The app is live in the App Store and Google Play.

## Results

- **Lower hosting:** 98 %. Monthly hosting and service cost, after the rebuild.
- **Lower on a Flutter task:** 87.5 %. DKK 40,000 quoted, DKK 5,000 delivered.
- **Platforms:** 2 stores. App Store and Google Play.
