Kipp App Launched by Galgotias Student on Apple App Store

Noida, July 9, 2025 – Galgotias University proudly announces the launch of Kipp – Smart Sticky Notes, Reimagined, an innovative note-taking app now live on the Apple App Store. Designed and developed by Shams Tabrej Alam, a B.Tech CSE student (Batch 2022–2026) from the university’s iOS Development Center, Kipp reflects the spirit of modern, student-led innovation fostered at Galgotias.

Conceived during the WWDC 2025 Swift Student Challenge, Kipp began as a personal project aimed at creating a minimal, smart productivity app. It has since evolved into a full-fledged product featuring gesture controls, auto-expiring notes, dark mode, voice memos, and clutter-free reminders — all with no login or ads. Designed for students, creators, and professionals alike, Kipp is a digital companion for a more focused and simplified life.

Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, stated, “We are immensely proud of Shams and the incredible journey of Kipp. This reflects our strong commitment to experiential learning and enabling students to become creators of technology, not just users. Our iOS Development Center, in collaboration with Apple and Infosys, continues to empower young minds to innovate fearlessly and deliver global-impact solutions.”
