Hours that count. Suma is activity rings for your work hours. Start a timer, pick a category, and watch your ring fill toward the target you set. Close the ring and the day is won. THE IDEA: REAL WORK FILLS THE RING Log everything — but only your real work fills the ring. Gym, chores, and errands stay visible without stealing from your goal. Everything is tracked; only what truly counts closes the day. YOUR TARGET, YOUR RULES You decide how many hours close a day and how many days win the week — and you win on whichever days you choose. A flexible week, not a fragile streak, so one slow day never guilts you into quitting. BETTER WITH A PARTNER Invite one person and you each see the other's ring fill live — a partner, a cofounder, a study buddy, someone building something too. No leaderboards, no pressure. Just two people showing up, and a quiet nudge when one of you closes the day. KEY FEATURES: • LIVE RINGS – Start, stop, and switch categories; your ring fills as you work. • CATEGORIES THAT COUNT – Mark which work fills the ring and which is just logged. • YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE – See the days you won and how close you are to your weekly goal. • PARTNER UP (OPTIONAL) – Pairing is never required, never a wall. • LIVE ACTIVITIES – Keep an eye on your running timer right on your Lock Screen. • ENGLISH & SPANISH – Suma speaks your phone's language natively. • PRIVATE BY DESIGN – No ads, no trackers, and we never sell your data. • FULL CONTROL – Delete your account anytime, instantly, right in the app. Suma is free. Start on your own in thirty seconds; add a partner whenever you're ready.
