Screen Time Productivity App
Senior iOS Developer
Production-ready iOS productivity app that helps users reduce screen time and build better digital habits—SwiftUI, FamilyControls, Device Activity, Firebase, and subscriptions.
Problem
People struggled to stick to focus goals because system Screen Time tools were fragmented and apps lacked clear blocking, progress feedback, and a polished daily workflow.
Solution
Delivered complete app development: scalable SwiftUI architecture, FamilyControls and Device Activity for app blocking and focus sessions, Firebase Auth and Firestore, RevenueCat subscriptions, push notifications, Mixpanel analytics, testing, and App Store launch.
Solution Architecture
SwiftUI modules separate onboarding, focus schedules, and shield configuration. Device Activity reports feed in-app insights; ManagedSettings and FamilyControls enforce blocks the user configures. Firestore syncs preferences and subscription entitlements across reinstalls.
Mobile + Backend Design
Native SwiftUI with coordinator-style navigation; Firebase Auth for accounts; Firestore for user settings and focus history; FCM for session reminders; RevenueCat bridges StoreKit with server-validated premium features.
Technical Challenges
Operating within Apple’s Screen Time entitlement and extension constraints, explaining permission flows clearly, and keeping blocking behavior dependable when apps update or devices restart.
Outcome
Delivered a fast, reliable, App Store–ready product that combines native Screen Time APIs with backend sync, monetization, and measurable user behavior.
