Minutown: Study Timer

Minutown is a focus timer where your study time builds a living town. Start a session and a building rises on a little island while you work. Finish it and you get a few minutes to build: roads and houses first, then a café, a bakery, a school, a fire station, a zoo, a cinema, a church, mosque, synagogue or prayer hall, and nine great monuments that take hundreds of hours to finish. A TOWN THAT LIVES • People walk to work and school, push prams, walk dogs and sit on benches in the sun. • Cars, taxis, a town bus and a tram stop at the lights and at the stops; the post van does its morning round and bins go out on bin day. • The weather is your weather. Rain, snow, wind and a rainbow after the rain; washing out on fine days; lights going on at dusk and off as the town goes to bed. • Stop for a week and the city goes quiet and dark. One session wakes it again. Nothing is ever destroyed. A CALM PLACE TO FOCUS • A quiet focus screen with a ring that fills as you go. • Backgrounds to study by: a beach, northern lights, rain on the window, snowfall, cherry blossom, autumn woods and more, each with its own sound, or your own photo. • Study sounds (rain, waves, fireplace, summer night), or play from Spotify, Apple Music or Podcasts. • Repeat sessions with breaks, or use the stopwatch. A PLAN FOR THE DAY • Daily and weekly goals, and rest days that don't break your run. • Today's plan is made from your checklist and your exam dates, nearest exam first. • Add exams from your calendar to count down to. • Weekly challenges, a look back over every day, and which times you focus best. • Export your study log as a spreadsheet or PDF. AND MORE • City Gallery: share your city and see other people's. • Study together with friends in the same room. • Lock Screen countdown, Home Screen widgets and an Apple Watch app. • In English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. • Saved to your iCloud, so your city comes back on a new phone.
