We got tired of scrolling, streaming and saying "maybe next week."
So we built something better, a little app that makes trying new things easy, fun and real.
The People Behind 52weekx
We're not a company with investors or buzzwords, just four friends who wanted weekends to mean something again.
Cezar K
Founder & Lead Developer
"I’ve been building apps for over a decade, mostly to solve my own problems and make life a bit easier. Over time I realised how much tech was watching people instead of helping them and that never sat right with me. I wanted to build something useful, private and genuinely good for people. 52weekx became the place to finally do that"

Coffee fanatic with a machine he treats better than some house plants
Tech lover with a home full of gadgets and an obsession with privacy
Ozzy
Product Designer
"When Cezar told me about 52weekx it made sense straight away. I’ve always felt that people are more disconnected than they realise and I’ve seen how tech can either make that worse or help us find our way back. I joined to design something that feels calm, human and actually encourages you to step outside your bubble. Every screen in 52weekx is built to spark curiosity, not drain your attention."

Kevin K
Frontend Developer
"When Cezar first told me about 52weekx I honestly thought it was just another habit app. Then he explained what he was really building and it clicked. As his brother I’ve seen how driven he is about creating something that genuinely helps people. I wanted to be part of that and help bring the idea to life."

Frank
Backend Developer
"Privacy isn't just a buzzword for me, it's a core principle. When the team asked me to build the backend for 52weekx, I saw a chance to design something that keeps user data secure while still feeling fast and reliable. Every API endpoint is built with privacy at its heart and that’s the part I’m most proud of."

How We Started
It all began with four friends, a string of boring weekends, and a shared frustration with how tech was making us more isolated, not more connected.
It Started With One Simple Promise
Just before the New Year, Cezar made himself a deal. No more wasted weekends. No more scrolling his way through 2025. He wanted to try something new each week, even if it was small.
He started an Excel sheet for himself. It was nothing fancy, just a personal way to track and push life a bit further.
A Tiny Prototype That Wouldn’t Stay Tiny
The Excel sheet was a pain to share so he decided to build a static web page, that included the list of activities that he is going to do. Interestingly, when friends opened the link, something shifted. They all asked the same thing: “How can I create my own?”
That was the lightbuild moment for Cezar to build a proper app from scratch.
When Ozzy Joined the Journey
Ozzy first joined Cezar to try out boxing, after the strenuous session, they sat down and Cezar showed what he's been working on. For Ozzy, it clicked straight away and was flooded with creative ideas for the app.
He decided to join the project and brought with him design ideas and a fresh perspective that shaped what the app could eventually become. That was the moment the whole idea stopped being a quiet personal project and started becoming something real.
The Team Starts to Grow
As the idea grew, the two realised they couldn’t build it alone. They needed people who understood the deeper layers and the parts you never see.
Kevin joined next, bringing steady development experience and a knack for tidying code and turning ideas into working features.
Then Frank came onboard as the back-end wizard, building the foundation that could power everything we had in mind.
Here we are

Why We Did It
We're not trying to build the next billion-dollar startup. We just wanted to fix a real problem, how modern life leaves people connected online but disconnected in real life.
Technology Should Serve People
Tech should make life better, not more complicated. Every feature in 52weekx is designed to help you live more fully, not stare at your screen longer. Less doomscrolling. More doing.
Loneliness Is the Real Epidemic
Even in the most "connected" time in history, people feel lonelier than ever. We believe real-world activities and meaningful community experiences are the cure. That's what 52weekx is all about, giving you reasons to go live your life.
We're Tired of Predatory Apps
We've seen how social media and "engagement algorithms" turn people into data points. We wanted to build something that serves users, not shareholders. No tracking, no manipulation, no endless scroll.
Our Values (and How We Live Them)
We don't just talk about our values, we build them into every part of 52weekx. From how the app is coded to how we fund it, every decision starts with one simple rule: people first, profits second.
How We Put It Into Action
Technical Decisions
Privacy-First Design
Your data isn’t stored unnecessarily, it stays on your device.
Local & Temporary Processing
Any data sent for activity discovery is processed, then deleted.
No behavioral analysis
We improve through direct user feedback, not behavioral surveillance.
Business Practices
User-Funded Model
Optional premium features fund development. No ads. No data sales.
Independent by Choice
No VC pressure for growth at all costs, we build at a sustainable pace.
Transparent Pricing
Clear, simple and honest, no manipulative upsells or sneaky subscriptions.
A Message from Cezar
"We live in a world where technology companies know more about us than our closest friends, yet somehow we feel more isolated than ever. That's not progress, that's a problem. 52weekx is our attempt to use technology the way it should be used: to bring people together, not drive them apart. To respect human dignity, not exploit human psychology. To create real value, not just capture attention."
"Every line of code we write and every feature we design, is guided by a simple question: Does this help people live better lives? If the answer is no, we don't do it. It's that simple and that radical in today's tech landscape."
"We're not trying to change the world overnight. We're trying to change it one weekend at a time, one friendship at a time, one authentic experience at a time."
