I built a personal productivity mobile app. Think of it as an all-in-one daily self-improvement tracker. It has four main sections accessible via a bottom tab bar:
Home: A dashboard showing your daily progress at a glance
Habits: Track recurring habits with frequency options (Daily, Weekdays, Weekly), streaks, and longest streak records. Each habit log is stored separately so you can see your history
Timer: A focus session tracker (Pomodoro-style), storing session type, duration, and whether it was completed
Profile: User account and settings
Why it exists: It's designed to help users build consistent routines, stay focused, and track their progress over time, all in one place. The streak tracking on [Habit] and the [FocusSession] logging suggest the core motivation is habit accountability and deep work.
It also has utility views built in: a password reset screen and an app update prompt, so it's built with a real production release in mind.

Eon explores how productivity tools can become more human by planning around natural energy cycles.
The mobile app is built around the ultradian rhythm, aligning demanding tasks with 90-minute focus windows and encouraging recovery during 20-minute energy dips. Smart ring data, including HRV and hand micro-movements, helps the product detect fatigue and adjust the task plan in real time.
The design balances productivity and well-being through a Focus Window Dial, layered task cards, high-contrast colors, rounded components, playful illustrations, and a friendly character that makes biometric planning feel supportive instead of clinical.
This looks amazing 🔥
