Quill is a simple focus timer for studying, reading, and writing. ▪ Build your own sessions Set session lengths that fit what you're doing — 50/10 for exam prep, 30/10 for reading, 90/15 for writing. Repeating cycles or one-off timers, both work. ▪ A dial you can read at a glance A round dial fills up as time goes by, so you can tell how much is left without staring at a number. ▪ Lock screen + Dynamic Island While a session is running, the time left stays on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. No need to reopen the app. ▪ Apple Watch support Start and pause timers from your watch — they sync with your iPhone automatically. ▪ Weekly stats A simple chart shows how many sessions you finished and what you spent your time on each week. No ads, no purchases, no sign-in. Everything stays on your device.
