Climb a mountain while you focus. Every minute of focus moves your climber up the trail. Camp when you need a break. Plant your flag at the summit. CLIMB turns the time you spend studying, reading, learning, or working deep into a real, illustrated climb. Set a goal, hit start, and watch your climber move up the mountain in real time. The longer you focus, the higher you go. Whether you're prepping for finals, finishing a thesis, learning a language, or just trying to read for an hour without picking up your phone, CLIMB makes the time you put in visible. HOW IT WORKS Set a goal anywhere from 30 minutes to a full afternoon. Start the climb. Your climber moves up the trail in real time as the minutes pass. Need a break? Tap Camp. Your timer pauses, your progress saves, and the climber waits for you at the campsite. When you reach the summit, plant your flag and the mountain joins your history.
