When you want to put your phone aside and focus on what matters in real life, you start a focus session in FocusMon. The moment you start, a rift opens. As long as you stay focused, monsters emerge from the rift for you to catch. If you can't resist the urge to use your phone and leave the app, the session breaks and the rift closes empty — you get no monsters. So during a session you can't do anything else on your phone without losing your progress. The more often you set the phone down, the more monsters you collect — and the better you use your time. STAY FOCUSED • A focus session only runs while you stay in the app. Leave early and you walk away with nothing. • A Live Activity shows the running timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you don't need to open the app to check on it. • Turn your focused time into a growing collection instead of screen time. COLLECT, EVOLVE, TRADE • Over 100 unique monsters, each with three evolution stages, plus rare Mythic monsters. • Monsters level up and evolve using the shards you earn while focusing. • Trade monsters with your friends and complete your Archive. BATTLE FRIENDS AND PLAYERS WORLDWIDE • Train your monsters through your focus time and fight in turn-based battles. • Play casually against friends or climb the ranked ladder from Bronze to Champion. • Make a focus pact with a friend: one shared goal, and if you both finish, you both get rewards. GROW STRONGER TOGETHER WITH YOUR MONSTERS • Your buddy monsters level up during your focus sessions. • Unlock exclusive looks, items, and rewards for them, and make them stronger. • Daily goals, a weekly board, and a Rifter Pass reward regular focus. It's never too late to spend less time on your phone.

About

Levely

Read full description

You know the feeling of starting a new character in your favorite RPG. You're weak. You have no idea what you're doing. Every skill is at level 1. Then you start playing. Levely brings that feeling to real life. It's a focus timer that turns the time you spend practicing real skills into RPG-style progression. Pick a skill, set a timer, and focus. When the session ends, you earn XP and your skill gets closer to the next level. Levely can't tell whether you practiced well, or hard, or at the right difficulty. No app can, not without watching you far more closely than you'd like. So XP doesn't measure how good you are. It measures that you sat down and gave something your full attention, and for how long. A CHARACTER SHEET FOR REAL SKILLS Every skill has a level, an XP bar and a history. Watch them climb slowly, unevenly, the way real progress actually goes. EARN YOUR TITLE Earned through hours of focus. Nothing is handed out. NO STREAKS No chains to break, no guilt, nothing to protect. Miss a week and your levels are exactly where you left them. Progress isn't linear, and an app that punishes you for that is measuring the wrong thing. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT Week, month and year views show where your time actually went and which skills got it. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Your most recent skills, their levels and the week's practice — in three sizes. SYNCS PRIVATELY Your practice syncs across your devices through your own iCloud. No account, no sign-up, no server. I can't see any of it, and I don't want to. ONE PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Levely is free with up to three skills. One purchase unlocks unlimited skills, the Home Screen widget and extra themes. No subscription. No recurring charge. Pay once and it's yours.
