Application Developer – Contract

This role involves developing a cross-platform utility app for iOS and Android that enables users to block selected applications using an NFC-triggered mechanism. The app will replicate the core functionality of "The Brick" (getbrick.app), focusing on a seamless user experience for toggling app restrictions via NFC tags. The developer will be responsible for implementing the blocking logic, ensuring reliable NFC integration, and maintaining local device storage for user preferences. The project requires a strong understanding of both mobile platforms' system-level APIs and a commitment to privacy, as no backend or cloud storage will be used.

• Ensure all user settings and preferences are stored securely and locally on the device.
• Test and debug the application to ensure reliability and a smooth user experience.
• Provide clear documentation for app usage and NFC setup.
