Lead Product Designer Natalia Bukhanevich created the Settly app, whose audience is people who are moving to the UK or changing location within this country.
«I created my first app for those moving to England (or already moving within the UK) — so they don’t forget to change their address at the bank, doctor, insurance company, and 40+ other places. When you move, it’s really easy to miss something,» she wrote in Threads when the app appeared on the AppStore.
As you know, the United Kingdom is known worldwide for the complexity of finding housing and the bureaucratic nature of a number of related procedures, so the relevance of the moving app was precisely due to this.
«Moving is stressful enough without fifteen different government and utility websites opening in fifteen tabs. Settly has everything in one place — what to do and in what order,» the app’s description on the AppStore states .
The app provides a personalized checklist and step-by-step guides for updating your address (HMRC, DVLA, Royal Mail). The list itself is organized by priority — high, medium, low — so that the user can structure their next steps correctly.
The application helps ensure that when moving, a person does not have problems with forwarding mail, using a bank and family doctor, getting lost in the voter list, etc.
The app includes an AI assistant, Settly AI, to which you can ask standard questions about moving and receive a response specific to the UK.
The app also contains reminders about things to do before moving.
At the same time, the author of the application notes that Settly has no server side and no accounts, so «the details of your move — dates, addresses, checklist progress — are stored only on your device and never leave it.»
«The only exception is the AI assistant: if you ask it a question, that message is sent to Google to generate an answer. Nothing else about you is collected, tracked, or sold,» the author assures in the app’s description.
Natalia Bukhanevich has made her app free for now.
«The last time I moved to England, I forgot to change my address in many online stores. And then I had to run after an agency that was always busy and a landlord who couldn’t be reached for weeks to get my package. Don’t be like me — install the Settly App,» the author of the application urged in one of her posts in Threads.
Previously, dev.ua wrote that Ukrainian Vladislav Archer created the Sweezy mobile application for Ukrainians living in Switzerland. In it, he tries to collect in one place services that may be needed during relocation and adaptation: job and housing search, services, ads, marketplace, CV creation, and other tools.
