Overview
Focus Guard is a cross-platform mobile and Desktop application designed to help working professionals to split their daily workday into focused deep-work sessions and scheduled break intervals. The core insight was that most professionals forget to regular breaks during workload,which make them feel burnout and reduce productivity.
The Problem
Most productivity apps either do too much or require too much setup before they're useful. We needed something that worked out of the box on day one.
My Role
I was the sole engineer on this project. I designed the architecture, built the React Native app for iOS and Android and Desktop, implemented push notifications via Expo, and handled the full App Store and Play Store submission process.
Tech Decisions
Chose React Native due to stronger TypeScript support and my existing hands-on experience. Expo managed workflow to simplify device builds and OTA updates.
