Inspiration
Our inspiration was taken from our personal lives. As incoming university freshmen, we were able to reflect on our high school experience and think of what resources we wish we had. We all wanted a tool that could increase productivity and decrease the stress that can come from studying. As students, we know it can be difficult to keep track of everything going on in your life, so we created StudyZen.
What it does
StudyZen is an app which can help students increase their productivity! With features such as a study timer that encourages you to put down your phone, a mark calculator that tracks your grades, and a mood monitor that strengthens gratitude, StudyZen is a convenient tool for helping students stay positive and productive!
How we built it
StudyZen was built using Swift and Xcode to create an iOS app.
Challenges we ran into
Our biggest challenge was learning how to work together to create an app using Swift. Many of us had prior experience with Swift, but had never created a larger-scale project using the language. We ran into issues linking GitHub and Xcode. Additionally, we struggled with not being able to implement many features we intended to, such as a grade calculator.
Accomplishments that we’re proud of
Our greatest accomplishment was that we were able to collaborate efficiently. We were able to easily separate our project into 4 parts - one for each of us to add our own personal touches! In working on our own section, we were able to avoid merge conflicts. We are also proud of our adaptability. As we faced many challenges, we were able to get past them by coming up with new solutions along the way.
What we learned
We learned how to use Xcode to create an iOS app through SwiftUI and Storyboards.
What’s next for StudyZen
In the future, we aim to implement more features where the user can customize the app to their preferences. For example, a feature in which users can add their activities to the mood monitor, so our app can track which activities correlate to a positive mood. We would also like to implement a feature which can predict a final grade, based on the user’s study habits and trends in their grades. Our next big step would be further developing Studyzen using Android Studio so it can be used on Android devices, so everyone can access this valuable productivity tool!
