Hello Quinn, sorry for the delay—school started up! I couldn’t reach you directly by pinging you , so I’ve added it as a comment earlier, but I’ll include it in a reply for easier viewing. The app keeps track of time in the background when it’s running. I was thinking about using screen time APIs, but I wasn’t sure if they would work with app playgrounds instead of a regular Xcode app project. I can try converting the existing timer framework to background execution using DeviceActivity. I’ll take a look at the links and resources you sent me, thanks for the advice. For the debug console, is it also important to check when the alarm went off and whether the timer is being controlled correctly?

@Noah______ Hey, I’m supportive of your idea to create an app about screen time! My app will also keep track of screen time in the background, but it will have a continuous counter timer that doesn’t need to be integrated with any frameworks. How did you put it together? Also, I sent an email to the Apple Swift student challenge email line and the WWDR (worldwide developer relations) told me that I need to ask companies like Nike Training Club and Headspace if it’s okay to use their videos and media locally in my Xcode assets. Is that true y’all?
