10,000 Hours turns the time you invest in a skill into visible progress. Pick something you actually want to get good at — a language, an instrument, writing, training, code — start the timer, and watch the hours add up. As your total grows, you move through ten stages, so you always know where you are on the way to mastery. This isn't a productivity app for your to-do list. It's for the one or two things you want to still be doing in five years. WHY PEOPLE STAY WITH IT Ten stages, not one number Most trackers hand you a total and leave you to feel something about it. Here, every hour moves you along a path with named stages — so 57 hours isn't just 57 hours, it's more than halfway to the next one. Built for long projects, not 25-minute sprints Set a daily target, a weekly target, or simply accumulate at your own pace. Pause for a week and nothing is lost. Your progress waits for you. Always one tap away Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Dynamic Island, and a proper Apple Watch app. Start a session without opening your phone. Yours alone No ads. No tracking. No account. No subscription. Nothing you record ever leaves your devices — it syncs privately over iCloud and that's it. WHAT'S INSIDE - Unlimited long-term projects, each with its own stage progress - Count up or count down, with a distraction-free timer screen - Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly trends, plus a calendar heat map - Milestones and shareable achievement cards - Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch - Private iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac - Archive finished projects and keep the record - Dark Mode Made by one person who can't write code — every version built with AI tools, designed by hand, and updated more than twenty times this year. 10000 Hours Pro is available as: · 10000 Hours Pro · Annual subscription — ¥15/year (about ¥1.25/month), 12-month term · 10000 Hours Pro · Monthly subscription — ¥3/month, 1-month term · 10000 Hours Pro · Lifetime — ¥25, one-time purchase, never renews Subscriptions renew automatically 24 hours before the end of the current period unless cancelled beforehand.
