User Behaviour

I interviewed 20 participants to understand their phone usage, asking whether they typically use one or two hands.

I then explored their preferences for using an app designed to mimic a remote control. The majority (80%) indicated they would prefer one-handed use, citing habits formed from traditional remote controls. This insight highlights the importance of designing for effortless one-handed operation.

The Idea

To create an ergonomically pleasing experience, designed for one-handed use, while optimizing the layout to prioritize essential settings and food tracking.

Design Breakdown

Login/Setup Flow

The login flow is designed to connect to the smart fridge with ease. The app then guides the user through a step-by-step process to connect to their fridge. A visual indicator, such as the animated radar icon, helps create a sense of progress and engagement.

Home Section

The home screen is designed for one-handed use, based on user research where 80% preferred this for remote-like apps. Essential controls, like temperature adjustments and smart toggles, are within thumb reach, while key information, including fridge stats and the food tracker, is prominently displayed for a quick overview.

Food Tracking

The food tracker was designed for ease of use, allowing users to add products by scanning barcodes or manually entering custom items. The products section also includes color-coded text to show item freshness before expiry.

Customer Support

The app includes a support system. I added a green accent color to the icon to indicate the active support ticket. The support section also mimics a regular texting app to enhance ease of use for users.
