Introduction

Design and Technology

It draws inspiration from Google's app design principles and adopts the latest Material 3 Expressive design language to create a modern and lively user interface. Furthermore, COOL Tracker adheres to native Android design guidelines¹ and utilizes the Jetpack Compose native UI framework, ensuring users get an authentic Android experience.

Core Features

• Assignment Tracking: Easily view all assignments for ongoing courses and check their submission status.
• Assignment Reminders: Receive notifications before assignments are due to ensure timely submission.
• Home Screen Widgets: Provides home screen widgets, allowing users to check assignments quickly without opening the app.

Note

To optimize user network traffic and simplify software design, COOL Tracker currently only supports data for ongoing courses.

How it Works

COOL Tracker allows users to log in to NTU COOL via an in-app embedded browser. Once logged in, COOL Tracker retrieves the user's login credential (Session Cookie), enabling the app to automatically fetch the latest assignment data from the NTU COOL server on behalf of the user.
