## What is Reckon?

Reckon is a daily gym for mental arithmetic.

Most of us were fluent once. Reckon rebuilds it — one short session a day, no calculator, and no timer counting down at you.

HOW IT WORKS

A short adaptive placement sets a level for each skill separately, rather than one score for all of you. Every session after that mixes four things: the skill you are weakest at, spaced review of what you learned before, an adjacent skill kept warm, and one question a little beyond you.

Wrong answers teach. Instead of only showing the right number, Reckon shows the strategy behind it — round and correct, make a ten, halve and double — so the next one of its kind is easier.

WHAT IS INSIDE

• Adaptive placement, then a level per skill
• Sessions of 6, 12, 18 or 24 questions
• Spaced review that brings a fact back just before you would forget it
• A method library for the techniques worth knowing, readable any time
• Every finished session kept, grouped by week
• Four themes: Light, Dark, Ledger and Chalk
• Home-screen widgets for your streak and what is due
• An optional daily reminder — a few a week at most, never on a rest day
• Built for iPad, and for the largest text sizes

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 0.3.1 — 2026-08-21

When an answer goes wrong, the working is now done on your numbers. The method is shown step by step on the sum you actually saw, rather than on a stand-in example.

Where a method genuinely does not fit the numbers you were given, the general worked example is shown as itself, instead of being bent to fit.

Smaller things: tertiary text, control edges and unavailable labels now meet contrast in every theme, so nothing that carries meaning is left faint. And if your progress cannot be saved, the opening placement lets you in and says so plainly, rather than asking you to try again.

### 0.3.0 — 2026-08-19

Sessions can now be six questions, for the days when twelve is too many.

Your practice has a history of its own: every session you have finished, grouped by week, with any level that moved.

The methods you have unlocked are readable again, in one place, whenever you want them rather than only when a question goes wrong.

On iPad, every screen now uses the width — a side rail, two columns where they earn their place, and a list beside its detail on Settings, Progress and your history.

Widgets are down to the ones that carry something, and say so when they are showing yesterday. The reminder now asks once, after your first finished session, rather than before you have anything to be reminded about.

Smaller things: a correct answer no longer says the same sentence every time, and your levels are read the same way on every screen that shows them.

### 0.2.2 — 2026-08-08

No release notes.
