Sidekick - Team 21

Team 21

Inspiration

We were inspired by a lack of creative options in the screen time reduction space, and existing 'phone hippers'.

What it does

Sends users gentle reminders to switch states when they are in a maladaptive one. Allows users to create custom 'Kicks' - packs of available apps for a given context that are easily accessible, intuitive to create.

How we built it

After formulating the ideas, we followed basic design principles to establish the initial version and completed user research to guide design decisions.

Challenges we ran into

The first idea that we had was not ideal, so we had to pivot. We faced time constraints and user feedback that challenged some of our initial ideas (such as a social aspect).

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Clean UI, very intuitive design that resonates with people, research-focused design.

What we learned

The importance of defining the prompt early on in the process, and being on the same page. We learned the importance of working as a team and openly communicating with each other to accomplish goals.
