Description
Klovr – Community Marketplace App for Parents
Klovr is an iOS app that serves as a dedicated marketplace for parents, helping them buy, sell, or request pre-loved items for their children. Focused on community, trust, and simplicity, Klovr empowers parents to easily exchange essential items like baby gear, clothes, toys, and furniture — all while keeping costs low and reducing waste.
The project included the development of a native iOS app alongside a custom admin portal for managing listings, users, and platform content.
