🌿 Inspiration Mental health often takes a backseat in our fast-paced lives. Many people struggle with stress, anxiety, or burnout but hesitate to seek help. We wanted to build something empathetic — a digital space that encourages emotional reflection in a calming, distraction-free environment. That’s how CalmMate was born: a simple, beautiful mental wellness companion designed with care and compassion.

💡 What it does CalmMate is a mental health journaling app that helps users:

Track their mood daily with a peaceful UI

Write journal entries with optional AI-generated prompts

Store entries securely using Firebase

Toggle between light/dark themes for comfort

Experience a minimalist, calming design that promotes emotional safety

🛠 How we built it We used Flutter to create a cross-platform application with beautiful and responsive UI. The app is powered by Firebase for:

Authentication (Firebase Auth)

Data storage (Cloud Firestore)

The journaling feature can integrate with OpenAI’s GPT to provide thought-provoking prompts or affirmations. The UI was designed to prioritize emotional clarity, accessibility, and simplicity.

🚧 Challenges we ran into Crafting a UI that balances both function and emotional calm

Managing state and theme changes across multiple screens
