Case study · 2026Paused

Glid

We designed and built Glid end to end, an app that matches people on a game (where, when and what level) before anyone has to message.

Client: Glid
Services: Product engineering, Digital experience, Brand identity, Campaign

The problem

Finding people to play with usually means group chats and back-and-forth that never turns into a game. Most matching apps open on profiles and messages. Glid starts from the game itself: the place, the time and the skill level, so the first thing people agree on is the session.

What we made: the app

We designed and built the iOS app ourselves, with Home, Matches and Explore screens, event pages and a map of nearby players and courts. It is native Swift and SwiftUI on a shared Rust core, with Apple and Google sign-in, and it reaches the wrist with a watch face that shows heart rate during play.
