Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Build a field-service app where managers dispatch tasks and workers complete them on a map.

REASON 2

Evaluate Realm's sync platform for real-time multi-user mobile apps with offline support.

REASON 3

Learn how to partition data by user role so workers only see their own assignments.

REASON 4

Prototype a workforce tracker with live location sharing and task clustering on a map.

Wtf does this do

Teamwork is a demo iOS app that shows how a field-service company might coordinate a mobile workforce. Imagine a cable company or utility: managers dispatch tasks to technicians in the field, and those technicians see their assignments on a map, mark them done, and have their locations tracked so dispatchers always know who is where. The app has two user roles, managers and workers. Managers create tasks with a title, location, due date, and optional team or individual assignment. Workers see only what's assigned to them. A shared map shows all pending tasks, with clustering when tasks bunch up, and can also display the last-known locations of field workers. Workers can drill into task details, complete tasks, and filter by team. Managers get an additional people view to see each worker's upcoming and overdue work. Under the hood, it's built on the Realm Mobile Platform, which handles data synchronization between devices automatically. The app uses multiple "realms" (think of them as separate synced databases) with different permission levels, managers get broad access to everything, while workers only see their own slice. This means a developer building a similar app wouldn't need to write custom server code or worry about conflict resolution, the platform handles that. The data models are deliberately simple: Person, Task, Location, and Role, plus a Team concept for grouping workers. The target audience is developers evaluating Realm's platform for real-time collaborative mobile apps. It's a concrete reference implementation showing how to handle permissions, offline sync, and multi-user data partitioning without building that plumbing from scratch. The app is explicitly a demo, not production software. It's meant to demonstrate that a handful of straightforward data models can express the core needs of a distributed workforce app, task assignment, location tracking, role-based access, when backed by a sync platform that handles the infrastructure concerns.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1
Using Realm Mobile Platform in Swift, create data models for Person, Task, Team, and Location where a manager can assign tasks to specific workers and workers only see their own tasks.
Prompt 2
Show me how to set up multiple synced realms in Swift with different permission levels so managers have broad access and workers only see their assigned slice of data.
Prompt 3
Build an iOS MapView in Swift that displays pending task pins with clustering and also shows the last-known locations of field workers, using Realm for real-time data sync.
Prompt 4
Create a Swift view where a manager can see all workers with their upcoming and overdue tasks, and a worker can filter tasks by team and mark tasks as complete.
