Studying doesn't fall apart because you lack willpower. It falls apart because the payoff feels too far away. MinTok is a study timer that turns the time you put in into reward savings — at a rate you set. Your balance builds in a wallet, and you redeem it for the things you actually want. The reward you've been eyeing becomes the reason to start today. Minutes into rewards. Note: MinTok doesn't pay you real money. You turn study time into a reward budget at a rate you choose, save it up, and treat yourself — you buy the reward. HOW IT WORKS — 3 STEPS 1. Save — Start the timer and study. Every minute becomes reward savings at your chosen rate (around ¥300/hr recommended; set anything from ¥100 to ¥3,000) and lands in your wallet. 2. Bank Time — When you pass your goal, the timer keeps going. The overage counts as "Bank Time" and you keep saving. A Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island shows your balance climbing in real time. 3. Spend — Add the things you want to your wishlist. Once your balance reaches the price, redeem it — then go buy your reward for real. WHO IT'S FOR - People who want to keep learning a language through a system, not sheer grit. - Anyone who's bounced off to-do and tracking apps because deciding what to do every day is the real friction. - People with something they want — and the discipline to earn it as a reward. - Commuters and students turning small pockets of time into real progress. THE IDEA: NOT A TRACKER — AN APP THAT REMOVES DECISIONS You decide once, when you plan. On the days in between, you just execute the task in front of you. That's the trick to keeping it up. PRIVACY Your data is stored locally on your device (App Group). No account, no sign-in. No tracking, no ads. From a single minute today to the thing you want. Make your study time an investment in yourself — with MinTok. ■ Subscription & Legal ・MinTok Pro is available as a Monthly (¥300/month) or Annual (¥3,000/year) auto-renewing subscription, each with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase (¥5,000, no auto-renewal).
