An iOS SwiftUI prototype designed to help students understand and manage procrastination, developed collaboratively for the Baldwin Center for Learning and Teaching (BLCT) at Bowdoin College.
Procrastination-BLCT emerged from an academic collaboration aimed at addressing student procrastination by providing a tool grounded in empirical research. Developed during the Fall 2022 semester, this project involved a team with expertise in development, content specialization, academic advising, project management, and video production.
The goal was to create an accessible, user-friendly iOS application leveraging Swift and SwiftUI to guide students through regular check-ins, reflections, and empirically-supported anti-procrastination techniques.
This repository contains the source code for the working prototype as of December 2022.
- Account Setup: Onboarding process to personalize the experience (motto goals, reminder songs, semester goals).
- Home Screen: Displays motto goal and picture, central navigation point.
- Daily Check-in: Quick mood/success tracking related to procrastination and applied "life hacks."
- Weekly Check-in: Structured review of progress towards weekly goals.
- Reflection & Analysis: Prompts users to identify reasons for procrastination based on their weekly performance.
- Content Integration: Placeholders for video content and links designed to provide targeted advice.
- Language: Swift 5
- UI Framework: SwiftUI (with some UIKit elements)
- Platform: iOS (Target: 16.0+)
- IDE: Xcode
- Dependencies:
swift-algorithms(via Swift Package Manager)
This project is an archived academic prototype. It represents the state of development at the end of the Fall 2022 semester.
We first developed flow maps, then wireframes, before implementation:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/marcusrprojects/Procrastination-BLCT.git - Open
Procrasination-BLCT.xcodeprojin Xcode (version compatible with Swift 5 and iOS 16.0 SDK recommended). - Build and run the project on a simulator or a physical device.
