React Native Focus Timer App

I developed a React Native app designed to aid in focus and time management. The app functions as a timer with focus functionality, allowing users to set a specific subject for focus, start a timer, and track their progress over time. This project leverages the power of React Native and Expo, highlighting my ability to apply course concepts to build a practical, user-friendly mobile application.

Key Features

Set and Track Focus Subjects
Users can input and set a specific subject they wish to focus on, adding structure and purpose to their work or study sessions.
Customizable Timer
The app includes a user-friendly countdown timer, which can be started, paused, and adjusted as needed, offering flexibility in managing focus periods.
Interactive UI Elements
Features like adjustable timer settings and pause/resume functionality are implemented, enhancing user engagement and control over their focus sessions.
Focus History Log
Each completed focus session is automatically logged into a history, enabling users to review their focus patterns and duration over time, fostering a habit of productivity.
Vibration Alerts
At the end of each focus session, the app notifies the user through device vibration, signaling the end of a focus period.
