Mission Off-Screen
The Problem
A parent-focused startup needed a mobile app that helped families manage children's screen time by gamifying real-world challenges. Existing solutions were restrictive and ignored. The client needed something kids would actually engage with — and parents could trust.
My Approach
I built the app in two phases. Phase 1 covered the core screen-time monitoring, mission assignment, and reward system. After a successful launch and 5-star review, the client returned for Phase 2, which added cross-device cloud sync, real-time monitoring via Firebase, push notifications, and a refined UX based on real user feedback.
