FAMILIAR cover

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Gamified study companion (working title): point the front camera at yourself during a focus session and on-device computer vision watches for signs of distraction: looking away, leaving the desk. Stay focused and your Familiar (a creature hatched from an ember seed) grows alongside your study streaks, earning wax-seal achievements. Offline-first, with a Firebase sync plane.

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS

  • On-device distraction detection: front camera stream + Google ML Kit face detection
  • Virtual companion creature rendered with Flame: grows through accumulated focus time
  • "Ember seed" hatch mechanic and collectible wax-seal achievements
  • Offline-first local persistence on Isar with Firebase Auth / Firestore sync
  • Design-token system as single source of truth: aged-paper palette, Fraunces + Inter

CORE ARCHITECTURE

  • Feature-first Flutter architecture: core (theme / routing / constants) → features (home, session, familiar, hatch, rewards, cv) → services (firebase, persistence)
  • CV service isolates the camera + ML Kit pipeline from session scoring logic
  • Riverpod state graph bridges session telemetry into creature growth and rewards
  • Web3 collectible layer planned behind its own interface: swappable, never load-bearing
