About

Focusity

A to-do list tells you what to do. Focusity tells you when. Import your timetable and your assignments — from Moodle, a spreadsheet, or a PDF of your exam schedule — and within minutes you have a weekly study plan that built itself: around the free time you actually have, in the hours you actually focus best. ■ A weekly plan that builds itself • The engine lays out study blocks by due date, difficulty, and the hours each assignment really needs. • Set the times of day you focus best — morning, afternoon, evening or night — and the schedule is built around them. • Drag a block to a different time and the rest of the plan updates immediately. ■ Fell behind? There is a plan B • Every missed class or assignment moves to one catch-up board, with a free slot already found for it. • Tap "Reschedule" and it goes back into your week — no rebuilding from scratch. • Mark something done in one tap, without leaving the board. ■ Everything imports itself • Pull courses, assignments, exams and grades straight from Moodle, from a CSV or spreadsheet, or from a PDF exam timetable. • Duplicates are detected and filtered automatically. • Start in minutes, without typing in a single class by hand. ■ Ready for the exam, with no surprises • Prep plans that are built backwards from the exam date. • Grade and credit tracking in one place, with a retake simulator. • A reminder arrives when an assignment moves into the danger zone — not on the morning of the exam. ■ Keep the rhythm • A focus timer for every study block. • XP, streaks and a productivity score that turn consistency into a habit instead of an act of willpower. • Your streak is protected automatically — one freeze accrues each week, for the day when it simply is not possible. ■ Built to be understood • The scheduling engine is algorithmic and transparent: you can always see why an hour was chosen, and change it by hand. • Works in English and Hebrew, with real right-to-left support in both. • Your data is yours — no ads, no selling data, and account deletion from inside the app. Less mess in your week. More time to study. Free to download, no credit card. ■ Focusity Premium (optional) • A monthly or yearly subscription with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers: unlimited Pokey, practice from past exams, and flashcards from your own material. The price is shown in the app before you buy. • The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; manage or cancel it in your account settings. • Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Privacy Policy: https://www.focusity.co.il/privacy
