Ad-free, versatile, and focused timing software that helps you concentrate on your work or studies. Introduction: Whenever you want to focus on a task (reading, working, preparing for exams, etc.), you can activate the "Focus Mode," and a "little flying man" will appear on the clock, moving towards your goal. If you can't resist checking your social media or playing games, unfortunately, the "little flying man" will disappear immediately, and the Focus Mode will exit (you can switch to background timing mode)... If you activate the "background timing mode," you can use other applications after setting the time, and the clock will send a reminder notification when the time is up. If you succeed in the challenge, it will be recorded in the daily focus statistics. The longer you study, the darker green the cover background on the statistics page will be. There are also surprises for successful challenges! After activating the background mode, the countdown can be displayed in Lingdong Island! Points to note: Please enable push notification permissions. After successfully completing a challenge, a message will be sent to notify you. Features: Various clock styles can be changed.

Today Clock — an alarm that keeps going until you are truly awake. Heavy sleeper? Press the side button or the volume keys and the alarm rings again, until you are actually up. Set your routine once. Weekdays, days off, or a rotating shift — it rings on the mornings you work and stays quiet on the mornings you don’t. To shut it off for good, finish a short wake-up task. It still sounds when the phone is muted, and the volume rises gently so you wake up at ease. The alarm that gets you out of bed A half-asleep tap brings it back • Press the side button or a volume key and the alarm starts again. It keeps ringing until you are awake. Built for heavy sleepers who turn an alarm off and fall straight back asleep. Your schedule, set once • Weekdays on, weekends off. For school mornings and office days. Saturday and Sunday stay quiet on their own. • Rotating shifts. 2 days on, 1 day off. 4 on, 2 off. Or any cycle of work days and rest days. It repeats on its own. • Days that don’t follow the usual week. Turn it off for a holiday, turn it on for a one-off workday, or alternate weeks — one week you work the weekend, the next you don’t. Mark those days once. The alarm follows your calendar. It stops when you prove you are awake • Wake-up tasks: math problems, a shake, memory tiles, steps, an eyes-open check, or a photo and a code scan. Finish the task, and your mind is already on. Strong enough to wake you, soft enough to feel kind • It sounds on time even when the phone is in Silent Mode. • Gentle rise. Volume starts low and builds, so you wake naturally. • Your ringtone.
