What is MindGuard?
MindGuard is an AI-powered education application designed to help students improve focus and prepare for exams. Users can upload a PDF, and the application automatically generates relevant quiz questions from the document’s content.
It also allows users to block up to 50 distracting apps during a study or work session. The selected apps remain blocked until the user completes a predefined number of quiz questions.
Aetherius scope included designing the user experience, developing the mobile application, integrating AI-powered quiz generation, implementing Apple’s Family Controls framework, and building the session-management logic connecting quizzes with app blocking.
Challenges and Solutions
MindGuard needed to reliably block selected apps during active study sessions. Apple’s Family Controls framework introduced authorization requirements and platform-specific behaviors that had to work across different scenarios.
Aetherius integrated the framework and tested its behavior across supported iOS devices. Our work covered app selection, blocking and unlocking logic, authorization flows, and error handling for up to 50 selected apps.
MindGuard needed to generate relevant quiz questions from uploaded PDF documents. Differences in document structure, formatting and content quality made consistent information extraction challenging.
Aetherius developed an AI-powered workflow that extracts relevant content and converts it into quiz questions. Our scope covered document processing, AI integration, quiz-generation logic, mobile implementation and testing.
Quiz progress had to remain synchronized with app restrictions throughout each study session. Users also needed to preserve their progress if the session or internet connection was interrupted.
Aetherius developed the session-management logic connecting quiz answers, saved progress and app restrictions. State persistence and error handling allow users to resume interrupted sessions without restarting their work.
