## What is FocusTale?

Turn study time into an adventure.

FocusTale helps students start studying, stay focused and build consistent habits through focus quests, XP, levels and streaks. Choose a session, begin focusing and watch your progress grow without adding unnecessary pressure.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Choose Focus Magic, Quick Focus or Rest
• Personalise session durations
• Earn XP, level up and build a study streak
• Complete daily quests and track your progress

RELIABLE FOCUSING

Your timer continues accurately while the app is in the background. On supported iPhones, Live Activities make it easier to follow an active session from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Controls remain locked during an active session to protect your focus. Your progress and unlocked rewards remain saved when the app is updated.

FREE TO USE

The core focus features are free. Optional rewarded ads let you unlock additional music, themes and companions. Ads never interrupt an active focus session, and rewards remain unlocked after completion.

Make starting easier, turn consistency into visible progress and make studying feel more rewarding with FocusTale.
