Inspiration

  • We wanted a study timer that actually feels motivating and not just a countdown. Something that rewards consistency and makes study feel less boring

What it does

  • Acts as a study companion helping encourage focus during study sessions
  • Motivates the user to study until the timer ends to unlock a reward game( 5-minute breaks with mini-games (Wordle or Snake))
  • Tracks study sessions and upgrades a virtual tree to show progress
  • Displays motivational quotes, session data, and a tiered to-do list for goal tracking

How we built it

  • Brainstorming a variety of ideas on challenges we face and what would improve our quality of life
  • Using Figma, a collaborative interface design tool
  • By prompting the built in AI in Figma, we were able to generate code to fulfill the goals of our project
  • Implemented session tracking, tree growth progress, and game logic

Challenges we ran into

  • Understanding how to use Figma to create our project

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a full study companion with game breaks and visual progress
  • Created multiple tree types and progress tracking animations

What we learned

  • How to navigate problem areas like debugging layout and logic issues
  • How to prompt AI for specific code and design outputs

What's next for Study Buddy

  • Expanding the mini games selection and tree types
  • Add daily goals and a calendar to keep track of events
  • Add relaxation music and link to personal Spotify
