Spectrum Logbook

Read full description

Spectrum Logbook is the all-in-one record keeper for parents and caregivers supporting neurodivergent children. When you are supporting a child on the spectrum or navigating other neurodivergent needs, the details can pile up fast. Supports, routines, therapies, supplements, school notes, daily changes, small wins, and difficult days can quickly become hard to manage. When all of that lives across notes, texts, and memory, it becomes harder to see what is helping and harder to share progress clearly. Spectrum Logbook gives you one place to keep it all organized. Use it to track the supports and interventions you are trying, log daily outcomes in under a minute, and build a clearer picture over time. As your record grows, patterns become easier to spot, progress is easier to follow, and summaries are easier to share. With Spectrum Logbook, you can: - Create a profile for your child - Track supports and interventions you are trying - Log daily outcomes quickly and consistently - Monitor progress over time - Spot patterns and trends more easily - Export summaries in PDF or CSV - Keep notes and context in one place - Invite caregivers to contribute to the same child profile Built for real life: - Quick daily check-ins - Clear, parent-friendly tracking - Less information overload - One calm place for records, progress, and context Spectrum Logbook is built by parents raising a child on the spectrum. We created it because we know how heavy the mental load can feel, and how helpful it is to have one reliable place to hold the details. Free to download. Important note: Spectrum Logbook is a tracking and organization tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.

Focus deeper. Get more done โ€” one Pomodoro at a time. Focusly is a completely free focus timer built around the proven Pomodoro Technique. Whether you're studying, working, or tackling any task that needs your full attention, Focusly helps you stay on track without distractions. TIMER Follow the classic Pomodoro cycle: focus โ†’ short break โ†’ long break after a set number of sessions. Start, pause, resume, or reset with a single tap. Skip a phase when you need to, track completed sessions in real time, and get notified the moment a phase ends. READY-MADE PROFILES Pick the rhythm that fits you: Classic 25/5/20 Deep Focus 50/10/25 Flexible 45/10/25 Beginner 20/5/15 Mini 15/5/15 Every profile follows 4 focus sessions with one long break. CUSTOM TIMERS Set your own focus, short break, and long break durations, and choose how many sessions until your long break. Your custom timer appears as a chip on the home screen โ€” edit it anytime, delete with a long press, and undo if you change your mind. 6 BEAUTIFUL THEMES Choose from OLED Flip, City & Circle, Neon Ring, Card Deck, Pomo Red, and Desktop. Your theme is saved automatically and can be changed anytime from the timer screen. AMBIENT SOUNDS Preview and pick from Silence, Waves, Rain, Relax, and Birds โ€” looped seamlessly throughout your session. HOME SCREEN WIDGET & LOCK SCREEN Track your timer from the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen with iOS Live Activity. The home screen widget shows your remaining time, status, and today's session count at a glance. Pause or resume directly from the widget or Live Activity. ANALYTICS See today's total focus time, your current streak, and how many pomodoros you've completed today and overall. Review your progress with a 7-day bar chart and a weekly summary. Focusly is completely free. A short onboarding walks you through setting up widgets and Live Activity on first launch, and a built-in "How it works" guide explains the technique. Ready to focus?
