We are building a native iOS mindfulness app with an AI voice companion, plus a web admin panel and supporting backend. We have a working web prototype, a detailed written scope, and existing content. We are looking for a team to deliver the full production build. Please read the whole brief before bidding. Bids that do not follow the proposal format at the bottom will not be shortlisted. WHAT THE PRODUCT DOES A personalised meditation app. Rather than a static library the user browses, the app collects context from the user - how they are feeling, what they want from the session, how long they have - and serves the most appropriate meditation from a curated library, with a short personalised spoken introduction before playback. There are three session types: 1. Quick sessions - short everyday guided meditations and breathing exercises. This is the default experience. 2. Structured programs - multi-module courses with teaching content, sequential lessons and saved progress. 3. Video sessions - a video-based experience that requires a connected Apple Watch and live biometric data (heart rate, respiratory rate) to run. The app tracks the user's journey over time: session history, before and after emotional state, trends, streaks and achievements. SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT 1. NATIVE iOS APPLICATION - Onboarding, permissions and consent flows - Email, Sign in with Apple, and Google authentication, plus a guest trial mode - Real-time AI voice session: microphone capture, streamed audio playback, session state, pause and resume, interruption handling, connection recovery - Session history and detail views, with charts for emotional and biometric before and after comparison - Progress, journey and achievements screens - Subscription purchase and entitlement gating via Apple In-App Purchase, plus reflecting subscriptions bought on the web - HealthKit and Apple Watch integration - an optional supporting signal for most of the app, mandatory for video sessions - Push notifications, including a behaviour-driven reminder system - Profile, settings, permission management, data and account deletion - App Store submission and release 2. WEB ADMIN PANEL - Admin authentication with a dynamic per-account, per-module permission model, not a fixed set of named roles. Each admin can be granted read-only, read/write or no access on a per-module basis. - Meditation content management: full create, read, update and delete on individual meditations and on multi-module programs, including audio asset upload - User management, read-only - Subscription visibility, sourced from the payment providers rather than a parallel local database - Manual push notification sending, with send history 3. BACKEND - API layer serving both the iOS app and the admin panel - Real-time voice agent infrastructure - AI orchestration: session context interpretation, content selection, personalised intro generation, persistent per-user memory - Emotion signal handling, normalised into a single internal taxonomy across providers - Subscription entitlement and usage metering across two payment channels - Push notification delivery and scheduling - Cloud infrastructure, containerisation, CI/CD, backups, monitoring - Security hardening: row-level security, authorisation testing, PII handling CURRENT TECHNOLOGY The existing prototype uses a real-time voice agent stack (LiveKit), a Postgres backend (Supabase), and third-party AI services for text-to-speech and voice-based emotion analysis. Payments run through Stripe on web and Apple In-App Purchase on iOS. We are open to your recommendations, but you should be comfortable working with a real-time WebRTC audio agent architecture, and be able to justify any change you propose. WHAT ALREADY EXISTS - A working web prototype demonstrating the full core session flow - A detailed written scope document covering iOS, admin panel and backend - An existing meditation content library with scripts and audio - Design direction and branding - A defined phase 2 roadmap, which is NOT part of this bid: dynamic meditation duration adjustment through on-demand audio generation Full documentation, prototype access and code review are available after an NDA is signed. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR - Demonstrable native iOS work in Swift and SwiftUI, with published App Store apps you can point to - Real-time audio or WebRTC experience: LiveKit, Agora, Twilio or similar - Backend and cloud infrastructure capability in-house, not subcontracted - Experience with Apple In-App Purchase, StoreKit 2 and subscription entitlement logic - HealthKit experience - Experience shipping apps that handle sensitive personal data - A dedicated QA function A single freelancer is unlikely to cover this. We expect to work with a small team. WHAT YOUR PROPOSAL MUST INCLUDE Bids without these will not be reviewed. This is a large fixed-scope build and we need to compare proposals on equal terms. 1. An itemised estimate broken down by module, with hours per module. Not a single lump-sum figure. 2. A milestone plan with a testable acceptance criterion for each milestone. "Login module complete" is not an acceptance criterion. "User can register, verify by email, log in and reset password across the listed test cases on iOS 17 and 18" is. 3. A timeline showing which milestones run in parallel and what the critical path is. 4. Team composition: who does iOS, backend, admin panel and QA, how many people, and whether anyone is subcontracted. 5. Estimated monthly running costs at 1,000 and at 10,000 active users, stated separately from your development fee. Cloud, AI and TTS, real-time audio, database. 6. Your position on payment architecture: how you would handle both Apple In-App Purchase and web subscriptions in a single entitlement model, and how you would keep it App Store compliant. 7. Your security approach: how you would handle row-level security and authorisation for sensitive wellness data, and at what point in the schedule this work happens. 8. The warranty period you offer after release, and what it covers. 9. Written confirmation that the app is published under our Apple Developer account, that all IP transfers to us on payment, that we have read access to the repository from the first commit, and that all third-party service accounts are registered in our name. 10. Two references from comparable projects.

Howdy, A project combining real time audio, iOS, AI, health data, subscriptions, and sensitive wellness information needs the right architecture from the start, not just a collection of features that work independently. Since this build involves Swift/SwiftUI, WebRTC audio, StoreKit 2, HealthKit, backend infrastructure, and sensitive wellness data, I can contribute strongly on the backend side, including API architecture, PostgreSQL/Supabase, AI orchestration, entitlement logic, and the real time session infrastructure. I can provide a module by module estimate, milestone acceptance criteria, parallelized timeline, running cost assumptions, security approach, and repository/IP ownership terms once the existing prototype and scope are available for review. My focus would be making sure the backend integrates cleanly with the iOS application and can support the real time and AI driven parts of the product reliably as it grows. I also prefer to be transparent rather than inventing published iOS references, comparable project references, team members, or exact hours and costs without having the relevant experience and project details to substantiate them. If you’re open to a backend focused role within the wider team, I can review the documentation and propose the backend scope accurately.

Hi, This project involves integrating a native iOS mindfulness app with a sophisticated AI voice agent and a backend-admin panel ecosystem. The main engineering challenge lies in orchestrating seamless communication and data flow between mobile clients, AI services, and backend infrastructure while ensuring reliability and scalability. I usually structure such systems by separating the voice AI processing from the mobile UI layer, leveraging cloud APIs for AI inference to maintain app responsiveness. My experience developing AI-driven platforms with modular backend components aligns well with this approach. I typically design backend and admin panel services to manage user data securely and provide robust control interfaces, which supports long-term maintainability and compliance. I would first validate the integration points and data security protocols to ensure smooth, secure operation across all components. Thanks, Hercules

Hello!, I am a Florida-based senior software engineer and I’d love to help build this properly, not just get it “working.” The main challenge here is making the iOS app, AI voice companion, backend, and admin panel feel like one clean system. I can handle it in clear phases: define the app flow and AI behavior, build the native iOS experience in Swift, connect the voice agent and backend APIs, create the admin panel for content and usage control, then test the edge cases so it feels polished and stable. I’ve built production apps and AI-driven tools where reliability mattered. Relevant examples of work I’ve handled include a meditation tracking app, a voice-guided coaching app, a wellness dashboard, and a subscription-based mobile companion app. I pay attention to the details that usually get missed: how the AI responds, how sessions are saved, how the admin controls content, and how everything stays maintainable as the app grows. Quick questions: 1) Should the AI voice agent use real-time spoken replies or pre-generated voice with AI text? 2) Do you want the admin panel to manage content, users, analytics, and prompt settings? 3) Do you already have UI designs, or should I help shape the structure too? If you want someone who actually reads the requirements and builds with care, I’m ready. -James

Hello, After reviewing your detailed scope, I understand you need a production-grade native iOS mindfulness platform with AI voice interaction, backend infrastructure, admin panel, subscriptions, and Apple ecosystem integrations. The key challenge is connecting AI voice sessions, biometric data, and subscription entitlements into one reliable architecture. My approach would use a modular backend with secure APIs, unified entitlement logic for Apple and web payments, and thorough QA before App Store release. For estimation, I would break the work into milestones: • iOS core app + onboarding/auth/session flow • AI voice + real-time audio integration • HealthKit/Apple Watch features • Backend/API + admin panel • Subscription/payment system • QA, security testing, and App Store deployment A couple of questions: • Do you already have the detailed scope document and prototype code ready for technical review? • Are you expecting the first release to include all three session types, including Apple Watch video sessions? I can provide a detailed module estimate, timeline, team structure, and milestone acceptance criteria after reviewing the existing materials. Best regards, Carlos.

Hi, I have read the complete brief. This should be delivered as a coordinated small-team build covering native iOS/watchOS, backend and real-time infrastructure, web administration, and dedicated QA. I would retain LiveKit, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Stripe, and the existing AI providers unless the prototype review identifies a measurable reason to change them. SwiftUI would use LiveKit’s native SDK, AVAudioSession, StoreKit 2, HealthKit, and WatchConnectivity, with explicit handling for interruptions, reconnection, background transitions, and partial session recovery. Subscription architecture would use Apple and Stripe as the financial sources of truth. Verified StoreKit transactions, App Store Server Notifications V2, and signed Stripe webhooks would feed one derived entitlement service with idempotent event processing, product mapping, expiry/grace-state handling, restoration, and a complete audit trail. Security will be designed from the first milestone: Supabase row-level policies, per-module admin permissions, server-side authorisation, encrypted PII, consent records, account deletion, scoped service credentials, audit logs, and automated cross-user/tenant access tests. I confirm that deployment can use your Apple Developer and third-party accounts, repository access can begin with the first commit, and custom IP can transfer upon payment. Best regards, Houssame
