Magicly
- What is Magicly?
Magicly is a super app to help you manage the different aspects of your life: home, finances, and productivity.Â
The end goal was to build the WeChat for 50+ year olds.
- Mission
Our mission at Magicly is to make high-quality, easy-to-use software that improves the lives of people in the Longevity Economy.Â
The Longevity Economy is the segment of people over 50 years old, who represent a very important part of our economy. As seen in AARP and Oxford Economics’ Longevity Economy report, the spending power of those ages 50+ reached $7.6 trillion in 2015 in the US.
- Why a Super App?
Before we decided on the super app, we interviewed over 100 people in the Longevity Economy to gather research on the different pain points they had and solutions they felt they needed.Â
We pitched them specific apps focused on doing one thing (for example, a finance app) and at the end of the research phase everything pointed to them not wanting another app for a specific use case.Â
They are tired of installing an app for this, or an app for that, and that's why we decided to build the last app they would ever need -- one place to manage the most important things in their lives.
