AstroPulse:App

AstroPulse is a dynamic, cosmic-themed iOS time-tracking app built with SwiftUI, designed to offer precise and intuitive stopwatch, countdown timer, and lap performance analysis functionalities. Sporting a unique aesthetic with a starry wave background, hexagonal buttons, and a vibrant color palette of auroraGreen (minty green), voidPurple (deep indigo), and moonGlow (soft white), it provides a fresh, immersive experience distinct from other timer apps. The app is optimized for iOS 15.0+ and ensures compliance with App Store guidelines (e.g., avoiding 4.3 duplication) through its innovative design and feature set.
Core Features
1 Pulse Tracker (Stopwatch):
◦ Tracks elapsed time with millisecond precision (0.01s intervals).
◦ Allows users to record laps with timestamps, stored as Lap structs with lapNumber, timeElapsed, and timestamp.
◦ Features a clean, scrollable lap list with navigation to detailed views.
◦ Controls (Begin, Stop, Lap, Clear) are housed in a bottom-aligned, horizontally scrollable bar for thumb-friendly access.
2 Cosmic Timer (Countdown):
◦ Users can set countdown timers from preset durations (1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 minutes) or custom values.
◦ Displays a circular progress ring with smooth animations, showing remaining time.
◦ Supports pausing, resuming, and resetting, with haptic and sound feedback.
◦ Includes a "Copy Duration" feature to share timer settings via the clipboard.
3 Lap History & Comparison:
◦ Logs all recorded laps with time and date, accessible in a dedicated view.
◦ Offers Lap Comparison, showing the time delta (difference) between consecutive laps (e.g., "+00:02.50" or "-00:01.30") for performance analysis.
◦ Users can export lap data to the clipboard or share via iOS share sheet.
4 Custom Timer Presets:
◦ Users can create and save custom timer durations in the Config view, specifying a name and minutes (e.g., "Focus Session, 25 Min").
◦ Saved presets appear in the Timer Config view for quick selection, enhancing personalization.
5 Configuration & Accessibility:
◦ Toggles for haptic feedback and sound effects, customizable in the Config view.
◦ Sound effects (begin, pause, clear, lap, end) and haptics (heavy, medium, light, soft) enhance user interaction.
◦ Shareable data across all views (e.g., session times, lap records) via the iOS share sheet.
Design Highlights
• Visual Aesthetic: A StarryWaveBackground with animated wave lines and scattered stars creates a fluid, cosmic vibe, replacing static grids.
• Hexagonal Buttons: Custom HexagonShape buttons with glowing gradients (auroraGreen, voidPurple) offer a futuristic look, distinct from rounded rectangles.
• Ergonomic Layout: Bottom-aligned, scrollable control bars ensure easy access on all screen sizes, with compact, centered time displays using AstroTimeDisplay.
• Unique Terminology: Labels like "AstroPulse," "Pulse Tracker," "Lap," and "Begin" ensure a distinct identity, avoiding overlap with other apps.
• Color Palette: AuroraGreen, voidPurple, and moonGlow provide a vibrant, cohesive theme with high contrast for readability.
