About

Experience

Features
Read full description

Experience brings Focus, Notes, ToDo, documents, calculators, workspace tools, and productivity insights together in one refined productivity workspace. The main purpose of Experience is simple: help you study, work, plan, and stay focused without constantly switching between apps. During Focus sessions, essential tools are available directly from the Focus screen, so you can stay in flow while keeping notes, tasks, documents, and productivity tools close. Experience is designed for focused work, daily organization, and long-term productivity improvement. You can start Focus sessions, create notes, manage ToDos, open useful documents, review your progress, and understand your habits with ProAnalyze insights. For iPad users, Experience becomes even more powerful in landscape mode. Notes, ToDo, and Focus tools can be used together in a wider workspace, helping reduce the need to move between separate apps. Supported drag and drop flows make it easier to organize content and work more naturally. During Focus, you can quickly access favorite PDF files, books, study materials, or other documents from ProBoard with a single tap. This makes Experience useful not only for focus tracking, but also for real study and work sessions where your materials need to stay close. Experience also makes daily productivity more motivating with levels, progress, streaks, XP, personal records, and activity tracking. You can earn progress through Focus sessions and also through daily actions such as adding notes and creating ToDos. A minimum Focus duration is required before a session can count toward progress. With ProAnalyze, you can review deeper insights into your focus habits, productivity patterns, best focus windows, streak risk, performance trends, break recovery, session distribution, and local productivity recommendations. Free users can access core productivity tools with usage limits, including Focus sessions, basic productivity tools, limited Notes access, limited ToDo access, limited ProBoard/workspace access, and basic productivity insights. Experience Pro is an optional auto-renewable yearly subscription that unlocks expanded limits and advanced productivity tools. Experience Pro includes: • Expanded Notes limits • Expanded ToDo limits • Advanced ToDo options, including tags, attachments, repeats, and auto rescheduling • Advanced ProAnalyze insights beyond the basic overview • ProAnalyze reports for patterns, forecasts, risk, sessions, break recovery, performance scores, and local productivity recommendations • Expanded ProBoard document and workspace tools • Additional Focus ProBoard workspace access • Premium workflow and productivity tools inside the app
