UnlockToLearn: The Flashcard App That Makes You Smarter Every Time You Use Your Phone

Overview

UnlockToLearn is a mobile application that transforms the moments you spend unlocking your phone into learning opportunities. We unlock our phones 96 times per day on average — why not use those moments to review flashcards, learn languages, or master new concepts?

The Problem

Traditional learning apps require deliberate action:

• Remember to open the app
• Manually start a study session
• Resist the temptation to switch to social media

UnlockToLearn flips this model by leveraging moments when you’re already reaching for your phone.

How It Works

On Android

• Unlock Trigger — See a flashcard before accessing your home screen
• App Launch Trigger — Answer a flashcard before opening any app

On iOS

• Lock Screen Widgets — Review cards directly from your lock screen (iOS 16+)
• Interactive Home Screen Widgets — Swipe to answer without opening the app (iOS 17+)
• Siri Shortcuts & Notifications — Study on your schedule

Key Features

• ANKI Import — Full .apkg compatibility with progress preservation
• Swipe Gestures — Swipe right to correct, left to review
• Spaced Repetition — Cards you struggle with appear more frequently
• 100% Offline — Everything stays on your device
• Privacy-First — No account, no data collection

Technical Stack

• Framework: Flutter (cross-platform iOS & Android)
• Architecture: Clean code principles, modular design
• Platform Requirements: Android 8.0+, iOS 16.0+
• Performance: Minimal battery impact, efficient background processing

Permissions & Battery Optimization

The app intelligently manages permissions:

• Notifications for study reminders
• Accessibility Service for app launch detection (Android only)
• Display over other apps (Android only)

All permissions are requested only when relevant features are enabled.
