## What is Qualifying?

Qualifying turns practice sessions into laps.

STOPWATCH
• Start, pause, resume and record laps.
• Laps are colored like a timing tower: purple for your fastest, green when you beat the last lap, yellow when you were slower.
• A purple sector flashes every 5 minutes (or any interval you choose), so you feel time passing without watching the clock.

COUNTDOWN THAT ENDS ON TIME
• Interview ends at 12:55 and you start at 12:20? Set the end time and the ring counts down 35 minutes.
• Red flag in the final minutes, chequered flag at zero, and a notification even when the app is closed.
• +5 min when you need more time.

TEAM RADIO
• Write notes during a session; each note pins to the lap you were on.

SEASON
• Streaks, a monthly heatmap with your personal-best day, and habits like "LeetCode · 45 min daily" or "System design 3× a week".

ON YOUR MAC
• Lives in the menu bar: the running time, flag and lap count stay visible while you code.
• Start, lap and pause from the menu bar popover without switching windows.

FRIENDS GRID
• Race up to 20 friends on weekly practice hours, timing-tower style: purple for the leader, green when someone beat last week.
• See who is on track right now, compare days head to head, and share a daily result card.
• Friends you invite join free. They see weekly hours, streaks and live status — never session names or notes.

QUALIFYING PRO
• Free: every timer feature, 1 habit and the last 30 days of session history.
• Pro unlocks unlimited habits, full history and hosting your own Grid.
• Pro Monthly is an auto-renewable subscription with a 1-week free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation; it renews monthly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
