Overview of Tumblbug
Tumblbug is a free iOS application created by Tumblbug Inc. that helps users discover and back independent creative projects. The app makes it easy to browse diverse campaigns, pledge support to ideas you like, and receive the rewards creators promise when their projects are completed.
How the app functions
You can explore a wide range of campaigns across different categories and choose projects to support. When you back a project, your contribution helps bring the creator’s vision to life, and you’ll be eligible for any rewards tied to your pledge once the project finishes.
Notifications and saved items
Tumblbug includes a notification system that keeps you informed about important project milestones—examples include when creators begin shipping rewards or announce related events. You can also “like” or save campaigns to follow them closely and receive reminders as their funding deadlines approach.
Tools for creators
If you’re planning your own campaign, Tumblbug provides tools to present your concept and launch a project. The app supports creators through the funding period and offers ways to communicate with backers as the project progresses.
App permissions
To let you upload a profile photo or take new images, Tumblbug may request access to your camera and photo library. These permissions are used for personal profile setup and project media.
