~Your Perfect Quarantine Partner :)

You are alone at home, under quarantine. You want to get fit so you decide to work out, following schedules just isn’t working. So, you sit there eating your favorite cuisine, bored out of your mind, unaware of how to kill time..

And then a knock on the door decides to intervene. You were not expecting anyone and yet you hear someone out there. You don’t know what to do and you the knocking intensifies….

If you are wondering what to do, don’t worry we got your back.

PRESENTING QUARANTINO

The year 2020 saw the majority of the country being pushed into their homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic into quarantine.

A lot of people lost access to the gym and their daily dose of exercise because they were stuck at home, having no motivation to proceed.

A lot of people had visitors in the time they least expect them, while a lot more were fed up of being quarantined at home.

3 problems? 1 solution :)

QUARANTINO

FACE RECOGNITION

Let’s say a relative of the Obama family is under quarantine. Since it was so sudden, there wasn’t enough grocery to last the entire week and she was too exhausted to cook. Barack and his family decided to do some online grocery shopping and get some tasty hot ramen to leave it at her doorstep. She hears a knock and is not sure if it’s her relatives or unwanted guests who are unaware of her being under quarantine.

This is what our app helps combat. We built a facial recognition system that detects who the person at the doorstep is and lets you know immediately without having to get off your couch and looking through the peephole. It even has an option to tell you about “unwanted visitors” lurking at your doorstep.

FITNESS

“ I am going to start working out from tomorrow”.

I am sure this phrase is something we have all said to ourselves a lot during the lockdown. You would have had the motivation to do something but you did not know what to do. And that tomorrow never comes.

Exercise is especially important now because it can reduce stress, prevent weight gain, boost the immune system, and improve sleep.

Our app aims to solve this problem by providing a fitness feature. This lets you set up your daily routine complete with the time, date and what you want to do, make friends on the app so you can connect while staying at home and add new workouts. It also motivates you everyday by maintaining daily streaks so it helps you stay motivated while in quarantine.

COUNTDOWN TIMER AND ACTIVITY CHECK

The most annoying thing by far during quarantine is counting the number of melancholy days before you finally get to go out to breathe fresh air. The countdown feature helps you keep track of the number of days left to keep you motivated. The activity check gives you a list of 14 cool activities to keep you busy and engaged.
