Description

NAP is an Android app specially designed for astronauts but for sure everyday man could use it as well. It is basically an alarm clock.

Couple of years ago I read in some popular science article that astronauts from NASA keep taking naps for exactly 26 minutes (in fact I do not remember if there were 26 or 24 but two minutes extra is not a disaster I think)! It was something about sleep phases and there was huge amount of science behind this decision. I tried it and since then all my naps take exactly 26 minutes!

What does it do?

App takes care about everything. You should only tap the icon, take a nap and it will do its job. NAP should:

  • set the 26 minutes alarm
  • take care about the sounds volume
  • start the counting down intro sound
  • inform you that everything is fine
  • wake you up after 26 minutes with some NASA radio sounds

Future plans

  • Turn off every disturbing media before setting the alarm (and maybe treat it as a real alarm not a ordinary media)
  • Set the airplane mode and turn it off after alarm cancellation
  • Set the notification counting down every second until the alarm is triggered and close it after app stopping
  • Turn the screen off and block the phone after the end of starting counting down
  • Test the app not only manually
  • Add some extraordinary UI with some rounded buttons and other lovely stuff
  • Add little button with the donate option and integrate it with the PayPal account
  • Add little button linking to the open source repository
  • Deploy it and share with friends

How to build it?

It is an Android Studio project, so if you want to run it you should import it as a new project in your IDE and build it.

All of the sounds are taken from the NASAs site. If you can see some drama, some obvious bug or some bad habit tell me! I would be very glad if you do. It is all about learning.
