## What is OffShelf?

The focus timer that keeps the receipts.

Most study timers forget you the moment the session ends. OffShelf files every
finished session against a topic, so your hours, streaks and progress stack up
into a record you can actually look at.

Pick a topic. Press start. That is the whole ritual.

— A POMODORO TIMER THAT DOES NOT LOSE TIME —
The timer runs on wall-clock time, so backgrounding the app, locking your phone
or taking a call cannot pause it or inflate it. It stays live on your Lock
Screen, in a Live Activity, and on your Home Screen widget. Close OffShelf
completely and it is still counting.

Choose your own rhythm — classic 25/5, long deep work blocks, or no structure at
all — and pick a timer style you actually want to look at.

— YOUR SHELF, YOUR SUBJECTS —
Every subject, skill or project lives as a topic on your shelf. Turn on exactly
the panes you want for each one: a focus timer, a task list, notes, or a quiet
notes-only topic. Swipe between them mid-session without breaking focus. Give a
topic a target and a deadline and it becomes a goal you are measurably closing in
on.

— PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE —
This is the part other focus apps skip. OffShelf turns finished sessions into:

• Hours logged per topic, and levels that climb as they add up
• A daily study streak, with a weekly Streak Freeze so one bad day does not erase a month
• An activity heatmap and a daily study chart
• Milestones and achievements as you cross them
• Coins and Focus XP for time studied and work finished
• A leaderboard ranked on real activity

— PLAN THE WEEK, NOT JUST THE HOUR —
Set recurring schedule blocks for the subjects you keep meaning to get to, and
today-only focus goals for the ones you cannot put off. When you genuinely do not
know where to start, OffShelf picks a topic for you, based on what you have been
neglecting and how close you are to levelling up. No guessing, no blank page.

— STUDY WITH A FRIEND —
Pair with a study buddy and see when they are actually studying, what they have
finished today, and what is still on their plan. Send a nudge when they go quiet.
Start a live co-study session and share a clock. Accountability without either of
you having to perform.

— BEAT PROCRASTINATION BY MAKING IT VISIBLE —
Self discipline is easier when the evidence is on your side. Streaks give you
something to protect, levels give you something to climb, and the heatmap makes a
skipped week impossible to argue with.

— WORKS WHEN YOUR SIGNAL DOES NOT —
OffShelf starts fast and works offline. A weak connection never stands between
you and a focus session.
