Pick the apps that eat your day. MathGate puts a math problem in front of them. Tap one and you get a question instead of a feed. Solve it and the app opens for as long as you chose. Close it and walk away, and MathGate counts that as a win. FREE Three problems per session, across all five subjects. MATHGATE PRO, A ONE TIME $2.99 PURCHASE Set anywhere from 1 to 10 problems per session. Choose how long an unlock lasts: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. Pick your subjects: fractions, long division, algebra, percentages, geometry. HOW THE PROBLEMS WORK You get three tries. Miss the first and you get a hint. Miss again and MathGate shows you the answer. One skip per session, so waiting out the timer is not a free pass. WHAT IT TRACKS Day streak and best streak, with one grace day a month so a single slip does not wipe the board. Problems solved today and your accuracy. A running count of the times you hit the gate and chose to walk away instead. Optional evening reminder to keep the streak alive, and a Sunday recap of the distracted opens you dodged that week. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign up, no server, no analytics. MathGate cannot see which apps you picked.
