The worst part of exam prep is not working hard - it is not knowing whether you have done enough. Why do you ace physics? Because the total hours added up - quantity turned into quality. Why do the words stick? Because of those two focused hours, every day. SAT, AP, finals, bar exam, USMLE: it all comes down to one question - have you done enough? coves is the tool that records that quantity and shows it back to you. WHAT IT DOES INSTEAD OF YOU • Break down: turn one big goal (say, calculus) into tasks you can finish today • Schedule: drop those tasks onto real dates, so the plan exists before the week starts • Measure: log what you actually did - how much, how long you focused • Review: plan and reality side by side, so you see which subject is short HOW FAR YOU ARE: NUMBERS BEAT FEELING Total hours for maths, total hours for vocabulary, completion per subject - counted and shown separately. Enough quantity and the result follows. You will see it in your own numbers. WHILE YOU STUDY, IT KEEPS YOU SEATED Pomodoro, countdown, white noise - one tap and you are in focus mode. When it ends, it logs straight into the day's total. No catch-up later. Widgets and Apple Watch stay in sync. coves is the study tool for exam prep: break down, schedule, measure, review - one loop, closed.
