Focus City

A timer that provides people with a steady amount of focus.

Inspiration

My inspiration for this application was my struggle to focus and get my schoolwork done. I created this app so that myself and others can focus on their work!

What it does

This app is a timer that starts at 25 minutes and counts down. Once the time is up, the app sends a notification to the users and the device vibrates to alert the user that their work time is over. Once their work time is over, the app starts a 10 minute timer for the user to use as a break. This process then repeats until the user closes the app. The user can also pause, start, and restart their timer.

How we built it

I built this application on android studio with Java. This was the first time I had used Android Studio and Java so I also used the internet to learn how to program with Java.

Challenges we ran into

One of the challenges I ran into was looping the timer. The biggest challenge I ran into was sending the user's device a notification when their timer is done.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of completing this application when I have never made an app or used Java before.

What we learned

I learned how to use Android Studio, Java, and how to program a timer application.

What's next for Focus Town

The next thing for Focus City is to add more features such as the user choosing the amount of time they prefer. I also wish to style this application more.
