FAMILIAR cover

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.

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

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
