About

GetCertified

Read full description

GetCertified is an app that uses blockchain technology to validate the certificates obtained by students. Certificates, especially those obtained from online courses, can be easily falsified, making them of low value. With our app we strive to increase the value of those certificates by making them impossible to falsify. Using an ethereum smart contract, schools are able to upload a certificate to the ethereum blockchain associating it with the ethereum address of the student who should be receiving it. The student would then be able to retrieve a copy of this certificate, from the blockchain to the iPhone. As everything uploaded to a blockchain is public and immutable, it will be easy to check if a student actually earned his certification, making the counterfeit of certificates virtually impossible.

An App for Those Who Want to Spend Less Time on Their Phones. Every feature of the app is designed, tested, and used daily by people who need to focus and set their phones aside. You can set up automatic blocking of distracting apps while you work on important tasks. While these apps are blocked, you won’t receive notifications from them, and you won’t be able to open them until the time you set has elapsed. This will allow you to concentrate fully and avoid distractions from things that aren’t currently important. Limits will help you restrict the time you spend on various apps each day. You can choose which apps to limit, how much time you want to spend on them, and the days of the week that the restrictions will apply. Once the allotted time has expired, the apps will remain blocked until the end of the day. Deep Focus is a manual app-blocking feature. You select the apps and the duration of the blocking. After that, the apps will be unavailable until the chosen time is up.
