Built specifically to support Vietnamese traditional lunar-calendar practices. DEEPWORK FOCUS SESSIONS Launch a timed focus session directly from any mission. Three modes, each with its own visual environment: • Focus Mode — Deep indigo breathing visuals for cognitive work: reading, writing, coding, studying. • Gym Mode — High-energy rapid pulses for physical training. • Metronome Mode — Precision rhythm with adjustable BPM for musicians practicing instruments. • Built-in ambient focus music with lock-screen controls — no app-switching needed. Track your total focus hours today, this week, this month, and lifetime. CHRONICLE See your discipline over time. A color-coded mission calendar and a scrollable deepwork session log make your consistency visible — so you never forget how far you have come.
