Record time, master time, and live a self-disciplined life Our App can only do the first of the above three points. We hope that you can get the other two points by yourself after using our App~ [This is a simple time recording assistant] - You can continue to time even if you turn off the background - All you need to do is to remember to open the timer and click "end timer" when you complete a task [This is a simple time statistics assistant] - "Work", "Study", "Sleep"... You can label the time you record - Pie charts and timelines can intuitively see the time usage of a day (Eating, sleeping, playing games, which one takes more time?) [Normal mode and focus mode] - In "focus mode", if you exit the App, the timer will be interrupted. I hope this small auxiliary function can help everyone concentrate more~ This is really just a small tool, but I still hope that this App can play a little role in improving everyone's self-discipline. Finally, if you have any questions, praise or complaints, you can send us an email~ We will reply as soon as we see it Email: xwz@zhyuxwz.com
