Random-Day

An iPhone, iPad and Mac app to generate random schedules

This is an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that allows you to organize your days but adding a bit of randomness to make them less boring during quarantine or working at home.

Code

I described the app in the video but I didn't explained anything about the code so I'll do it here.

This is an app made with SwiftUI and a little bit of UIKit and is ported to macOS with Catalyst.

The database is just a JSON encoded struct saved in the disk.

The code for the UI is here and everything else is here.

The app displays a sidebar on iPad and Mac and a tab bar in iPhone or iPad in compact mode. I don't think that needs too much explanation because I think this code is pretty understandable and is just basic SwiftUI.

The sidebar UI

The tabs UI

UI

• ContentView: The root UI
• DayPlanner: The UI for configurating the schedule of a weekday
• NewTaskDialogTableViewController: The UI for creating a new task
• Sidebar: The sidebar navigation UI
• Tabs: The tab bar navigation UI
• TaskCategoriesTableViewController: The UI for managing task categories
• TaskCategoryPicker: The UI for creating a random space in the schedule
• TaskPicker: The UI for creating a static space in the schedule
• TasksTableViewController: The UI to manage the tasks in the selected category
• TodayScreen: Shows the schedule for today
• WeekScreen: Shows the week days so the user can configure them

Model

• CurrentDayManager: Gives the information for today and manages real time updates
• Database: The database struct is encoded into JSON and saved to disk
• DatabaseManager: A singleton that holds and manages the database
• Day: The schedule for a day generated by the app.
• FutureTask: A space in the schedule that the user created. The app will take care of randomizing it and create a Task from it
• PlannedDay: The schedule for a day created by the user. The app will generate a Day from it
• SelectedSection: Just a helper for the UI
• Task: A task generated by the app.
• TaskCategory: A category of tasks. The app can take one of the items of the category randomly if it's selected by the user in the schedule Weekday: Weekdays basically

Widget

The widget is just a typical iOS 14 widget that shows what the user has to do now.

iCloud syncing

The database is synced via iCloud thanks to the library Zephyr.
