ABOUT THE PROJECT

One random day I was scrolling through Twitter and I found a video by the celebrity showing their alarms app which had an endless scrolling list of alarms. They talked about how they added alarms for multiple purposes. This sparked an idea in my head that if people sort their files why not sort your alarms. Sorting alarms based on your type of day is something that sounded very interesting to me. Weekdays you got to the office? You have a group of alarms for work. Weekends you like to sleep and have alarms to go for workouts? You have a group that has all the alarms for that time. Switch the group on and off based on your usage.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Making alarm apps well managed. Who likes an endless scrolling list of alarms? Group them like your files.

BUILDING A DESIGN SYSTEM

Colours and fonts were decided keeping in mind the user could have a long list of alarms based on their type of usage of the application hence fonts should be clean to read. Multiple themes were also added with the idea that groups need their type of distinction without evening reading their names.

PRE DESIGN PLANNING

FEATURES PLANNING

There are multiple features and their user flows were planned with the details to be added on each step also marked on the diagram. Marking actions in blue, features in pink and success states in green for the users.

FLOW PLANNING

Going to multiple alarm applications a user flow was made to make sure that the user does not get confused with groups while also being able to use the app as a normal alarm app by just adding an all alarms tab.

The planning around the app was done based on the feature planning and also a general layout of the pages was made as well to make sure that when moving to design screens I had some references wireframes.

DESIGN SCREENS

The design was made keeping in mind that the user would like to use the application for a short period. Setting an alarm is not a job you do on a usual basis as well as not an app you can and see later. Making groups distinctive with their own identity with different styles and colours.

WHAT WE ACHIEVED

LAUNCHING THE APP ON PLAYSTORE

The application had multiple users with 100+ downloads and 11 reviews giving us feedback on how to improve the application.
