A calmer take on the pomodoro technique: real blocks, real breaks — and the next block is always your choice. Calibrate is built for the moment before you begin. The task is big, the hour is open, and starting is the hard part. So you don't start with 25 minutes. You start with three. JUST START Swipe any to-do and you're in — three minutes with it, that's the whole deal. At the checkpoint, you decide: another block, a break, or stop here. Stopping counts. You started. REAL BLOCKS, REAL BREAKS Work in blocks that end with one honest question — how did it go? Breaks get their own clock, and coming back is a choice too. Nothing auto-starts. Nothing runs you. YOUR LOCK SCREEN DOES THE WORK The whole session lives on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch — the countdown, the check-ins, the next-block choice. Your phone stays locked. You never have to open the app. EMPTY YOUR HEAD FIRST Brain-dump every loose thing into one list for today. Spaces keep work, home and health apart, so today stays short. Every to-do gets a day — or waits, without nagging you. AN HONEST WEEK, NOT A SCORE The weekly recap shows what actually happened — facts, never grades. No streaks, no scores. Miss a day, nothing breaks. WHO IT'S FOR Students in long study sessions. ADHD brains — the app never punishes a wandered mind, it just asks kindly. Anyone who's tried blockers and streak apps and wants something gentler. Calibrate helps you notice. It never notices for you. Focus sessions, to-dos, spaces, lists and keeping track are free — all of it, unlimited. Calibrate Plus adds the long view: your weekly recap, your sharpest hours, and every day you turned up. Monthly, or one purchase that's yours for good. Privacy policy: https://usecalibrate.app/privacy.html Terms of use: https://usecalibrate.app/terms.html

About

Session Flow

Read full description

Session Flow is the calendar for anyone who works by appointment and wants to know, without mental math, who has paid and what's left to collect. It works for therapists and counselors, dietitians, physical therapists, private tutors, personal trainers, hair stylists, nail techs and anyone paid per visit. Add a client once, with the day, the time and the fee, and your schedule fills itself in. Every session shows its fee and whether it's been paid. Your schedule fills itself in • Weekly, every other week, monthly or your own repeat, with a set number of sessions if you need one. • Mark holidays and your time off, and the app cancels those sessions; change your mind and they come back. A client who travels gets a pause of their own. • No-shows, cancellations and rescheduling in one tap, with no math to redo. • Day, week and month views, with a warning when two times overlap. • Already use your phone's calendar? The app reads your appointments and sets up each client with you, one by one. Nothing in your calendar changes. Payments in one place • One tap on Mark as paid and the session is paid. • Per session or per month, a flat fee or the sum of the sessions: each client on their own terms. • A rate increase applies from its date on, and older open sessions keep the old rate. • Outstanding: the total and client by client, always up to date. • Prepayments become a balance, and each session draws from it (Premium). Reminders and payment messages on WhatsApp • The session reminder, with the day and time, is ready to send, and the day's list shows who still needs one. • The payment message is ready too, with the date of each open session and the total (Premium). You check it and send it. • Charge one by one: each client's payment message, one after the other (Premium). • Notifications on your phone before each session. Receipts and documents • Receipts, attendance letters and a superbill template, as PDFs with your details and your client's. • Ready-made templates, and your own. • A spreadsheet of payments received, for your accountant. Your month in numbers • Received, forecast and what's left, month by month. • Average ticket, % canceled and the month's chart (Essential and Premium). • On a tablet or computer, Insights: your year month by month and what needs attention this week (Premium). Your data stays with you • Works without an account and offline. Without the cloud, nothing leaves your phone. • No tracking. • Back up to a file whenever you want. • With the cloud (Premium), the same data on your phone, tablet and browser. • For health professionals: Session Flow is not a clinical record, and it keeps only what your schedule and payments need. Your work, your words • Call the people you see clients, patients or students, and each visit a session, appointment, consultation or class. • Groups, with each participant's fee and payments (Premium). • English, Portuguese and Spanish, with your currency and 12- or 24-hour time. Plans • Up to 4 clients, with no subscription and no time limit. • Essential: up to 40 clients and full statistics. • Premium: up to 1,000 clients, cloud sync, WhatsApp payment messages, groups, prepayments and Insights. • Essential and Premium come with a 14-day trial on your first subscription.
