Save the timers you use often — mock exams, breaks — and reuse them anytime. ■ Focus Score When a session ends, rate how deeply you focused. As your logs build up, you'll start to see your focus patterns. ■ Statistics See how much you focused today and where your time went by category — at a glance, with calendars and charts. ■ Categories & D-Day Track time by subject or task, and keep the countdown to your exam right on the home screen.
