‘The era of losing concentration’ People at some point lost their ability to focus. Many people check social media and news while working and studying. We can't stand the curiosity that new issues will come up in the middle. We have a smartphone next to us, so we keep touching it. But we can't even go around without a smartphone. We have to make this guy who distracts our concentration a friend who helps us focus. This app helps you increase your daily concentration level. Getting started is very easy. Level 1 is only 3 minutes. Anyone can concentrate for 3 minutes. The next is 6 minutes. It's harder than level 1, but it's still easy. Level 3 is 9 minutes. Each time you level up in this way, you only need to focus 3 minutes more than the previous level. The highest level you can reach in a day is 19. If you finish by the last level of 57 minutes, you will have a total of 9 hours and 30 minutes each day. Focus fully on your work and accumulate 10,000 dense hours. 10,000 hours is a huge goal. Even 10 hours a day takes 3 years. You can break it down into 100-hour increments and approach your goal one step at a time. It also provides a function that tells you how many days it took to achieve this every 100 hours. You can see at a glance your level of concentration for each day in the color displayed on the calendar. You can also check how many hours per week/month/year and the average level per period. If you do it every day without breaking, combos will be piled up. Also, you can set the image you want as the wallpaper in the photo album. Build up your will by putting the dream you want to achieve with concentration into the background screen.

Plan&Control combines a modern planner/task management app with a bit of gaming fun. Whenever you create a simple to-do list, more advanced project or a routine you may link it to a space base - it will grow along your project. But beware! Tasks that are overdue degrade your base. Simple reminder or a complex project? Lacking motivation? Plan&Control has got you covered. MAIN FEATURES The app provides three different types of projects that you can use to organise and plan everything from simple chores to complex enterprises: • simple projects - for quick, uncomplicated task lists like grocery shopping • advanced - if you need a multilevel project structure with additional stages and subtasks • routines to track repeated activities - daily workouts for example. Each project type may be linked to a space base development to visualise your performance. There are 3 scenarios*: • distant outpost - build an outpost in a distant galaxy • orbital base - space base somewhere in the depths of the universe (available in paid version only) • mining colony - plants and industrial facilities extracting resources from one of the planets (available in paid version only) All scenarios use unique animated graphics accompanied by sound effects. The style resembles isometric view strategy games. --- Beside the fancy gaming experience Plan&Control offers the best features of task managers and to do lists. Each task may be assigned a priority level or a colour badge to help you organise things visually and mentally. Projects have deadlines and alerts. Routine activities additionally require frequency like daily, weekly, monthly etc. or even "every working day". You can store your data locally on a single device or sync it with others through iCloud. Additionally you can now exchange tasks with the Reminders app or export them to Calendar. Even the most tedious task may be fun. Go ahead - turn your gardening project into a space base! Questions? Feedback?
