• Relaxation Game: Take a break and unwind with a simple game, offering a healthy alternative to doomscrolling.

Features

• Seamless integration of productivity tools in one app.
• User-friendly interface for easy navigation.
• Cross-platform support with Expo.

Setup and Run Instructions

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your system.
• Expo CLI installed globally (npm install -g expo-cli).
• A mobile device or emulator for testing.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/superb-striker/clock-work.git  

2. Install Dependencies

   npm install  

Local Development

1. Start the Development Server

   npx expo start  

2. Run on a Device or Emulator

   • Scan the QR code in the Expo Go app (available on iOS and Android).
   • Alternatively, use an emulator/simulator to run the app.

Building an Android APK

To generate a shareable .apk file from the source, follow these steps:

1. Trigger the Cloud Build
   Initialize the EAS Build process:

   eas build --platform android

   Follow the prompts to create the project and generate a new Android Keystore.

2. Download Signing Credentials
   Sync your preview credentials to your local machine:

   eas credentials --platform android

   Select preview profile. Select Download credentials to sync credentials.json and your .jks keystore.

3. Generate APK via BundleTool
   Once you have downloaded the .aab file from the Expo Dashboard, use Google's BundleTool to convert it:

   java -jar bundletool-all-x.xx.x.jar build-apks --bundle=YOUR-APP-NAME.aab --output=YOUR-APP-NAME.apks --ks=PATH TO KEYSTORE.JKS FILE FROM PROJECT ROOT DIRECTORY --ks-key-alias=YOUR KEYSTORE ALIAS --ks-pass=pass:YOUR KEYSTORE PASSWORD --key-pass=pass:YOUR KEY PASSWORD --mode=universal

   Replace bundletool-all-x.xx.x.jar with your actual downloaded bundletool name up to its version e.g: bundletool-all-1.21.2.jar , and YourAppName.aab with your own AAB file name, the ks-key-alias with your own key alias, which can be found in the credentials.json file.

4. Final Extraction

   • Change the extension: Rename YOUR-APP-NAME.apks ➔ YOUR-APP-NAME.zip.
   • Unzip the file.
   • Your installable file is located in the unzipped folder as .apk file.

5. Downloading on mobile

   • Transfer .apk file to an android device.
   • Install the app.

Enjoy using Clock Work to enhance your productivity and well-being!
