About

Focus Meter

Features
Read full description

Focus Meter is a visual focus timer for students and anyone who wants to concentrate. See your remaining time at a glance — not just as numbers, but as bars, a line, or a ring. It looks like a piece of desk stationery, so you'll actually want to leave it out on your desk while you study. ā–  Days Until Your Exam Add your exam or mock test date and Focus Meter counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds. The timer screen always shows "X days to go," connecting today's session to the day that matters. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets are included. ā–  Three Timers • Countdown — for study, reading, work, or timed practice tests • Pomodoro — alternate focus and breaks to stay sharp longer • Dual — run a total session and a Pomodoro at the same time (for example, 25-minute cycles inside a 90-minute block) ā–  Three Ways to See the Time Standard bars (like the LCD on a desk timer), a minimal line meter, or a ring. Two themes — Calm and Sharp — so it fits your desk. ā–  Block Distracting Apps While You Focus (Pro) Temporarily block the apps you choose — social media, games — but only while your timer is running. Everything unblocks automatically when the session ends, even if the app was closed. Need out early? Use Emergency Unlock and write down your reason. Phone calls and emergency features are never blocked. ā–  A Record Worth Keeping Completed sessions are saved as Today, Streak, and Total. You can share a card of your progress. ā–  Built Not to Break Your Focus • Lock mode during a session (prevents accidental taps) • Keeps the screen awake / notifications • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Portrait and landscape (desk mode) • Ad-free with Pro ā–  Focus Meter Pro (one-time purchase) Removes ads and unlocks the Dual timer, ring and line displays, the Sharp theme, app blocking during focus, and unlimited exam dates and presets. A single purchase — no subscription, no further charges. Great for exam prep, professional certifications, working from home, or reading. A quiet, readable timer you'll want to keep on your desk.

About

Kazuasobi Math Drill

Read full description

A daily arithmetic practice app for elementary school children. It covers the full elementary curriculum from grade 1 to grade 6 as timed drills, and records your best time and best score for every course. ā–  Units unlock by grade 47 units, from counting in grade 1 to ratios in grade 6. Only the units up to the grade you choose will appear, so children never get stuck on something they have not been taught yet. ā–  Built for the calculation cards used as homework 90 addition cards from 1+1 to 10+9, plus the 90 subtraction cards that mirror them. Work through the same deck used at school while the timer runs. ā–  Problems adapt to the child The app looks at how quickly a question is answered, not only whether it was right, and picks problems at a difficulty that fits. Not so easy that it gets boring, not so hard that the child stops. ā–  Word problems start with building the equation Read the sentence, choose the equation, then calculate. Change a setting and the child writes the equation themselves. The answer needs a unit too, so units never get forgotten. ā–  Mental arithmetic read aloud (soroban style) Questions are read out loud and answered from memory. ā–  Hints show how to think, not the answer Number lines and diagrams show the approach. A hint never simply gives the result. ā–  Mistakes come back later Missed questions are remembered and shown again after a gap, when they are just about to be forgotten. ā–  Units included Grade 1 counting, addition, subtraction, carrying, borrowing Grade 2 two-digit arithmetic, times tables, units of length and weight, telling time Grade 3 division, remainders, long multiplication, large numbers, fractions, decimals Grade 4 rounding, decimal multiplication and division, like fractions, order of operations, area, angles Grade 5 multiples and factors, LCM and GCD, primes, unlike fractions, averages, percentages, speed, volume Grade 6 fraction multiplication and division, ratios, area of a circle, letters in equations Advanced positive and negative numbers, prime factorisation, classic Japanese word problems No ads. All records stay on the device.
