Mobile app for UFRGS students to control their classes' attendances. It'll only work on Android. It's currently under closed alpha distribution; it'll be open to download via Play Store within the next weeks. There are plans for releasing a web version so that iOS or even PC users can use it too. It is unlikely that an iOS native port will ever be offered, though.

Features

• You can add your courses and register absences. The app will calculate how much of the absences you've already consumed.
• You can edit courses, changing their name or amount of periods per week day.
• You can opt for receiving notifications to remember you of registering your absences. You can choose between receiving one notification a week (on Fridays nights), every day you have classes (at night as well) or not receiving them at all.
• Dark theme.

Planned features

• Cloud backup in user accounts in order to avoid data deletion when the app is reinstalled or you switch your device.
• Database of courses with their schedules. With this, it won't be necessary for you to manually fill how many periods each course has per weekday, and you will have a practical way to check your class schedules.
• Instead of registering absences by amount, you pick the date of the class you missed. This way, you won't be confused about having registering your absence yet or not.
