Study timer with custom targets that will end your procrastination forever! Pomodoro time tracking with targets is your answer to getting more done. How much does it suck pulling an all nighter because you left your study to the last minute. Or the disappointment of your side project losing momentum. With Milki, you can set variable daily targets for each activity and track against them over a defined period e.g. 2 weeks or 2 months. The Actual vs. Target (worm) chart is incredibly powerful at keeping you on track, you can visually track your performance over the period. No other focus timer app does this, so I had to create one that did haha. Milki also uses the Pomodoro productivity hack of 25 minute intervals.
