Project Overview:

FocusLoop is a mobile productivity app developed to help users build consistent daily habits, manage tasks, and boost focus through guided routines. Designed with a minimalist interface and smart reminders, the app combined habit tracking, a Pomodoro-style timer, and motivational progress analytics. Though it did not achieve commercial success, FocusLoop served as a robust exploration into user-centric design, mobile UX, and performance optimization for both Android and iOS platforms.

Objectives:

  1. The primary goal of FocusLoop was to empower users to take control of their daily habits and routines using a seamless digital assistant. The app aimed to reduce procrastination, improve time management, and encourage long-term goal achievement through behavioral nudges and daily streak tracking.
  2. The project was also focused on exploring hybrid mobile development frameworks to streamline cross-platform deployment while maintaining native performance and responsiveness. It was an opportunity to implement cloud-based syncing, local notifications, and gamified engagement strategies in a real-world mobile product.
  3. Additionally, FocusLoop intended to test a freemium monetization model, integrating non-intrusive in-app purchases and optional subscription features—though ultimately the app remained free for all users.

Scope of Work:

FocusLoop’s development included the complete lifecycle from ideation and prototyping to deployment and post-launch updates. Key components of the scope included:

  • UI/UX Design: Designing a clean, intuitive interface with dark mode support and accessible controls for users of all ages.
  • Mobile Development: Building the app using Flutter for cross-platform support, with performance enhancements tailored to both Android and iOS.
  • Core Features: Developing habit tracking, a customizable timer, goal setting, daily streak logic, and motivational quote integration.
  • Backend Integration: Creating a Firebase backend for user authentication, cloud syncing, and push notifications.
  • Analytics & Feedback: Embedding analytics tools to track user engagement and gather feedback for future iterations.
  • Testing & Deployment: Conducting unit testing, beta testing with early users, and publishing to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
