Glance is a color-based exploration app designed to encourage people to pay more attention to the world around them through short daily visual challenges.

In a routine where even small moments of pause often become moments of screen consumption, Glance uses the smartphone camera as a quick invitation to observe the environment, notice details, and explore colors present in everyday life.

Every day, users receive a new color challenge and are encouraged to explore real-world environments through the in-app camera. By capturing colors found throughout the day, users build personal collections, visual retrospectives, and unique records of their daily experiences.

The app focuses on short and intentional interactions rather than prolonged screen time. Instead of endless scrolling or complex interfaces, Glance prioritizes lightweight experiences connected to the physical world.

Main features include:

• Daily color-based challenges
• Real-time camera color detection
• Personal color collections
• Daily visual retrospectives
• Exploration of tones, palettes, and color combinations found in real-world environments
• Contextual experiences based on time, movement, or location

Glance was developed as part of the Apple Developer Academy | PUC-Rio.
