Mandalize transforms focus into something tangible. Mandalize is a minimalist focus timer that rewards deep concentration with something truly rare: a mathematically unique mandala generated only if you stay focused until the end. - No notifications. - No second chances. - No recovery. How it works 1. Choose your focus intention - work, study, read, train or what you want 2. Set your focus time 3. Place your phone face down 4. Stay focused without touching your phone If you break focus, your mandala is lost forever. If you complete the session, you earn a one-of-a-kind mandala that can never be recreated. Unique by design Every mandala is generated using Euclidean geometry and complex algorithms. Even with the same time, no two mandalas are ever the same. Your focus directly shapes the result: - Short sessions → simple mandalas - Longer sessions → more complex, intricate patterns Your time becomes art. Powered by iPhone sensors Mandalize uses iPhone sensors - including proximity detection - to understand whether you are truly focused. Focus begins when the screen is hidden. Presence is rewarded. Why Mandalize? • Encourages real, uninterrupted focus • Creates a strong psychological commitment • Turns time into something meaningful • No data tracking, no distractions • Clean, dark, minimalist design Mandalize isn’t about productivity hacks. It’s about presence, discipline, and earning something that only focus can create. Focus. Complete. Mandalize. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
