DadCoach

AI-powered parenting companion for new and expecting dads — daily tips, milestone tracking, journaling, and personalized coaching.

Tech Stack

• Kotlin 2.0 with Jetpack Compose & Material 3
• Room for local persistence (11 entities)
• Hilt for dependency injection (KSP, not kapt)
• Gemini API for AI coaching and content generation
• Single Activity architecture: MVVM + Repository + UseCases

Setup

git clone https://github.com/hanselhansel/baby-tracker.git
cd baby-tracker

Create local.properties in the project root (see local.properties.example):

sdk.dir=/path/to/android/sdk
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here

Get a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio.

Then build and run:

./gradlew assembleDebug
