Project description:
"I need a focused Android application that automatically records when an employee starts and ends a shift and immediately sends a notification if the phone goes to sleep or locks while the shift timer is running. Secure user authentication is required so each employee signs in before the tracking begins.

Scope of work
• Build a functional Android APK that supports sign-up / log-in (email or phone-based authentication is fine as long as credentials are stored securely).
• Once authenticated, the app should run a foreground or background service that:
– Logs the clock-in time the moment the employee taps “Start shift.”
– Continues monitoring device activity and fires an on-screen and audible alert if the device sleeps, locks, or the screen turns off during an active shift.
– Logs the clock-out time when the employee ends the shift and stores both timestamps locally and in a simple cloud data store (Firebase, SQLite + sync, or similar).
• Provide a minimal dashboard inside the app where the user can review today’s shift history.
• Include basic error handling for lost connectivity or app termination.

Deliverables
1. Source code (Android Studio project, Kotlin or Java).
2. Signed APK ready for test installation.
3. Quick setup guide and one-page user instructions.

Timeline: I’d like to see a working prototype as soon as possible, with full handoff shortly after we iterate on any small fixes.

If you have previous experience building background services, battery-friendly foreground notifications, or employee time-tracking utilities, I’d love to see examples when you respond." (client-provided description)
