Rekxare Dami

The first study timer and AI scheduler built for Kurdish students, in their own language.

Comment

Inspiration

I noticed that Kurdish students, especially Badini speakers, have almost no study tools in their own language. Most apps are in English or Arabic. This means students have to translate while studying, which is tiring and slows them down. I wanted to build something that helps students organize their time, in the language they speak at home. I am a high school student from Kurdistan, Iraq, and I built this because no one else would.

What it does

Rekxare Dami is a study timer with a live countdown circle, daily and weekly statistics, a 7-day schedule planner, AI-powered scheduling, and dark mode. It is available in three languages: Badini, English, and Arabic. Students can pick a subject, set a timer, and track their progress over time. The AI scheduler generates a full weekly study plan from natural language goals like "I need to study math for 10 hours, physics for 5 hours."

How we built it

I built it using Python and Streamlit. The timer circle is drawn with SVG and CSS. User data is saved locally using JSON files, with each user having their own separate file for privacy. The AI scheduler uses Groq Llama 3 to generate study plans. I also built a second page for the weekly schedule, with tabs for each day, plus features to copy days, sort tasks, and mark them as done. The whole interface is responsive and works on mobile phones. It is also a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it can be installed and used offline. I hosted it on Streamlit Cloud and documented the code on GitHub.

Challenges we ran into

The timer circle did not fill up correctly after adding more features. I had to debug it several times. Making the schedule page work smoothly on mobile took many small CSS fixes. Translating every button, message, and label into three languages was slow, but necessary. The biggest challenge was building the AI scheduler to reliably generate valid schedules from user goals. I had to carefully design the prompt and handle edge cases.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud that the app is fully functional and looks professional. It works in three languages. The schedule planner and AI scheduler are built from scratch. I am especially proud that this is the first study tool in Badini Kurdish, something that did not exist before. I am also proud that I finished this project while still in 11th grade, with limited resources and no formal training.

What we learned

I learned how to build a real web app with Streamlit. I learned how to manage data with JSON, design a responsive UI with CSS, integrate an AI API, and solve problems by debugging step by step. Most importantly, I learned that I don't need to know everything before starting, I can figure it out along the way.

What's next for Rekxare Dami

I want to add a Pomodoro mode, sound notifications, and maybe a way for students to share their study stats with friends. I also plan to add more languages so even more students can use it. Most importantly, I want to keep improving it and make it a tool that Kurdish students can rely on.

Project Updates – Rekxare Dami June 13, 2026 – Final polish before submission

New Features:

  • Google OAuth Login – Secure, password‑free authentication. Session persists across page refreshes and browser restarts.

  • Per‑User Data Isolation – Each user’s study statistics and weekly schedule are stored in separate JSON files (keyed by email hash). No more data mixing.

  • Persistent “Today’s Schedule” on the home page – shows tasks from the current day, directly synced with the Schedule page.

  • Fully Translated Login Gate – The login screen now supports all three languages with the same dark, glass‑morphism design.

Major Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed data sharing between users, schedule and study data are now completely separate.

  • Fixed language switching breaking other buttons, removed conflicting widget keys and isolated language logic.

  • Fixed “Today’s Schedule” not showing, unified the get_schedule_file() function across all pages.

  • Fixed login redirect loops, switched to official st.login() and st.user API.

  • Fixed missing httpx dependency, added to requirements.txt, solving Authlib errors.

UI/UX Improvements:

  • Logout button in sidebar, clears session and returns to login.

  • Mobile responsiveness enhanced, all buttons have 44px minimum touch targets, safe‑area insets for notched phones.

Under the Hood:

  • Restructured project for Streamlit multi‑page apps (Home.py, Schedule.py, About.py).

  • Added httpx to dependencies, essential for Google OAuth.

  • Refactored all data file helpers to use st.user.email reliably.

  • Removed legacy login gate (email input), replaced with st.login().

Current Status:

  • The app is fully functional.

  • All core features work as intended:

Live timer with progress circle

Weekly schedule (add/delete/sort/copy days)

AI schedule generator (Groq Llama 3)

Study streak, daily goals, session history

Dark mode toggle

Three‑language full UI (Badini, English, Arabic)

Persistent login across browser restarts

Per‑user private data
