About

Lotli

Read full description

Lotli is a sly black cat who steals your apps. To get them back, you do one short study session built from your own course notes. Finish it and your apps are open for the rest of the day. Study first. Scroll second. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps that eat your evenings. Lotli locks them with Apple's Screen Time. - Add your course material: scan your notes, import PDFs and photos, or paste text. - Lotli turns it into a few minutes of questions that are actually about your course. - Finish the session and your apps unlock for the rest of the day. No meters, no buying back your own afternoon. YOUR NOTES, HIS QUESTIONS Lotli reads what you give him and writes the questions: quick quizzes, match rushes, putting steps in order, fixing the mistake and labelling diagrams. Tell him your course code and university and he sketches the course before you have added a single page. A MAP OF EVERYTHING YOU KNOW Every session quietly grows a personal knowledge map. Each course becomes a map of its topics and concepts, and a pace gauge shows whether you are on track for the exam. Ranks across five fields of knowledge only ever climb. FOCUS WHEN IT MATTERS Start a focus block and everything you guard stays shut until the timer ends. One finished session buys a single quick trip out. YOU STAY IN CONTROL You choose what gets locked and when. Change or turn off the locks any time in the app or in iOS Settings. LOTLI PRO Lotli Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, yearly (with a free trial where offered) or monthly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.
