Munich First 90
A free, live guide to the first 90 days of German administration in Munich for international students — every step linked to its official source.
The problem
New international students in Munich face a chain of bureaucratic steps — registration, blocked account, health insurance, residence permit — where the order matters and missing one deadline blocks the next. The information exists, but it is scattered across official sites, mostly in German.
What it does
- 11 core steps with prerequisite logic and deadlines, each linked to its official source.
- Interface in English, German and Turkish.
- “Ask” feature: an LLM (Mistral) answers only from the site’s own sourced content and cites the step behind each answer. Requests for individual legal assessment are declined, keeping the product within the German Legal Services Act (RDG).
- Progress is stored on the device only — no user accounts.
How it was built
React Native (Expo) and TypeScript, with automated tests and CI. A competitor review (including Expatrio) came before the build.
