Overview

Just A Sec is an iOS app built in Swift that uses customizable snoozes to help you pause before distractions. You can set delays for specific actions, giving yourself time to rethink impulses and stay aligned with your goals. The app is simple, effective, and designed to improve focus, reduce digital distractions, and foster more intentional daily routines.

Takeaways

Building Just A Sec gave me my first hands-on experience with Swift and iOS development. I learned how to structure an app, manage user interactions, and integrate features like Firebase for backend functionality. Even as a beginner, I gained practical insight into app design, debugging, and deploying an iOS app from start to finish.
