Project tasks
The client, Paybis, approached us with a clear vision: to develop a highly effective and visually appealing solution for real-time crypto price monitoring on mobile devices. The core requirement was to build a native application that lets users create customisable crypto widgets directly on their home or lock screens.
To achieve market differentiation, we focused on UX/UI design, performance, and leveraging the latest operating system capabilities. Our goal was to go beyond basic functionality and deliver a high-value experience that aligns with Paybis’ commitment to user-friendly crypto services.

What was done
Business analysis
The project began with a competitive research to establish a clear market edge and define our advantage. Process included studying best practices from successful finance and entertainment apps that utilize widgets. Based on the gathered information, we implemented a UX/UI design and development strategy. A sleek dark mode was created using gradients to enhance visual appeal. Onboarding videos and stories were integrated to deliver the latest news and guide user adoption.
Native development
We strategically chose native development, using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, to ensure the Paybis Crypto Tracker delivered maximum stability and speed. This approach was crucial for achieving peak performance, a truly native platform experience, and for successfully implementing advanced tracking features like Dynamic Island (Live Activities) and home screen widgets.
Features
The Paybis Crypto Tracker was engineered to be more than a simple price ticker—it is a comprehensive, visually refined dashboard that puts real-time market data directly into the user’s hands.
Customizable Home Screen Widgets
Users can create and personalize multiple widgets in various sizes, colors, and layouts to build a custom market monitoring dashboard directly on their home screen.
Dynamic Island / Live Activities (iOS)
This innovative integration provides continuous, live updates of selected crypto prices directly in the Dynamic Island or on the Lock Screen. It gives users critical, glanceable data without the need to unlock their device.
