Name Reclaim
Alec Stevenson
For some, remembering the names of others is easy, but for others, it is quite difficult. Nonetheless, being able to remember people’s names quickly is a very useful skill to improve connections with others. Unless one can do this easily, remembering names either requires concentrated effort or intenerating with those in question many times to properly remember their name. NameReclaim serves to streamline this process.
NameReclaim is an IOS application that both allows users to streamline the process of remembering the names of others. This application is built using the Swift core data framework with an opening menu showing all user entered names, as well as toolbar items to add names to the list and edit the list itself. The add button brings up a form allowing the user to enter a name, which is then added to the menu. The “EDIT” button allows for the deletion and recording of names on the list. Clicking on a name brings up a display of the name attributes. These attributes include the name, social media profile, location, time, description (designed to be used to physically describe the person in question), and details (designed to be used to describe what the person means to you, such as “Janitor at Work” or “Supervisor”. These are formatted as strings to allow for maximum flexibility for the user. Clicking the pencil toolbar item allows for the user to enter/alter each of these fields. There is also a space for a picture which the user can choose from their photo library above the other details about the person indicated.
