## What is Effortime?

Effortime is a minimalist timer built for one purpose: to help you master a single skill through focused, consistent effort.

There’s a saying: 10,000 hours make a master. Effortime turns that idea into a clear, motivating practice. Start the timer when you’re practicing. Pause when you stop. Your lifetime total never resets — it grows with you, session by session.

Why Effortime
• One skill, one goal: focus on what you want to master
• Lifetime timer that never resets — persists across launches and devices
• Millisecond-precision session timer for accurate tracking
• Separate displays for session time and lifetime progress
• Clear visual state: green glow when running, red when paused
• Haptic feedback and subtle sounds for Start/Reset
• Auto-pause when you leave the app or lock your device
• Keeps the screen awake while running
• Clean, focused design that gets out of your way

Use Effortime for
• Practicing an instrument
• Learning a language
• Coding or design drills
• Sports and training
• Any craft that rewards deliberate practice

Build your mastery, one focused session at a time. Your 10,000 hours start now.
