Climb a mountain while you focus. Every minute of focus moves your climber up the trail. Camp when you need a break. Plant your flag at the summit. CLIMB turns the time you spend studying, reading, learning, or working deep into a real, illustrated climb. Set a goal, hit start, and watch your climber move up the mountain in real time. The longer you focus, the higher you go. Whether you're prepping for finals, finishing a thesis, learning a language, or just trying to read for an hour without picking up your phone, CLIMB makes the time you put in visible. HOW IT WORKS Set a goal anywhere from 30 minutes to a full afternoon. Start the climb. Your climber moves up the trail in real time as the minutes pass. Need a break? Tap Camp. Your timer pauses, your progress saves, and the climber waits for you at the campsite. When you reach the summit, plant your flag and the mountain joins your history.

Breaks never count against your study time • Mountain history with summit passport cards • Tasks with sub-tasks, labels, and priorities • Link tasks to climbs so your study sessions are intentional • Streaks that grow the more days you climb in a row • Badges for summits, no-break climbs, time milestones, and rare achievements • Collectible climber avatars • Daily and streak-at-risk reminders • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email CLIMB WITH FRIENDS • Invite friends with a private code or QR.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Just 5 Today at none against CLIMB's 2. Just 5 Today also leads on device support (3 vs 1). CLIMB's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
