1. Many students spend a lot of time and effort planning and creating study schedules around their fixed school timetables and activities, which can lead to poor time optimization. Therefore, we can devise a schedule maker that automatically generates personalized study plans based on their school timetable, school activities, etc.
2. Students are becoming easily distracted by their phones and mindlessly scroll through social media during study sessions, reducing focus, productivity, and potentially, academic performance. Therefore, we plan to create a tracking tool that makes users aware of their phone usage in real time, with constant reminders to encourage intentional study habits.
3. Students often experience high stress levels due to academic pressure, busy schedules, and lack of support, which negatively affects their mental well-being and academic performance. A mental health support app tailored for students that includes daily motivational encouragements, exercise reminders, and journaling can help to alleviate their stress.

Updated Ideas:

• Remove the timetable scheduling feature and instead focus on developing more features that will enhance students' focus and study effectiveness. This includes advanced focus tracking, intelligent break scheduling, and personalized study environment recommendations.
• To increase engagement and motivation, implement an immersive game-like reward system where students can earn special feathers through consistent study sessions and by achieving academic milestones. These achievements can be exchanged for various prizes e.g. feathers (might need to consult with the student council if we can integrate feather system)
• App/website can feature Griffles mascot character that grows and evolves alongside the student's progress. Through study sessions and completed tasks, users can earn in-app currency to customize their griffles with unique skins, and accessories (like a pokemon collector incentive)
• Can implement a note-sharing platform where students can upload and share their subject-specific study materials. Students who contribute their quality notes will be rewarded with credits that can be used to buy special Griffles stickers and exclusive customization options, knowledge sharing among peers.

P.S. Students will also earn some credits from studying daily/completing tasks, but it will be less than note sharing.

• To maintain the quality of shared content, we'll integrate an advanced AI moderation system that automatically evaluates uploaded notes based on accuracy, comprehensiveness, and clarity, ensuring all shared materials meet our high educational standards.
• https://www.forestapp.cc/ serves as a reference point for our focus-tracking features, though our platform will offer additional collaborative features and educational resources through the note-sharing system.
