Features
One calm system around the work that matters.
Every tool for focused study in one place: milestones, focus sessions, spaced-repetition cards, mind maps, notes, and a mistake log, with Spark thinking across all of it.
Milestones
Know how ready you are, not just what's done.
Give a goal a deadline and gather everything it takes in one place. Its readiness score climbs as you learn, so you always know where you stand.
- Link tasks, notes, Focus Cards, maps, mistakes, and Library items to one goal
- Readiness weighs the cards you remember and the mistakes you fix
- Earn Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond medals as it climbs
Pro Move
- Link the cards you already have as soon as you set the goal, so every review counts toward it.
- Check the lowest bar under readiness first. That's where your next hour does the most.
Gold Tier
Halfway! You're making real progress.

Focus Sessions
Deep work, one session at a time.
Pick a task, press start, and everything else waits. Each block you finish counts toward its milestone.
- Built-in soundscapes and white noise, no second app to manage
- Keeps perfect time even if you close the app or your phone sleeps
- Finished blocks add real minutes to the milestone
How a session goes
- Pick a task first, so the timer knows where your minutes should go.
- Take the breaks as they come; after four blocks you get a long one.
Focus Cards
Active recall, tuned to what you actually know.
Every card comes back right before you'd forget it, and the ones you find hard come back more often.
- Rate each card: Again, Hard, Good, or Easy
- Harder cards return sooner, all on their own
- Cards stay tied to the milestone they came from
Pro Move
- Rate honestly. If it was a struggle, say so; the schedule follows the truth.
- Only tap Easy when the answer came instantly. If you had to think, choose Good.
Focus Map
See how ideas connect.
Break a topic into branches and see how the ideas connect, from a blank map or a template built for the job.
- Start from a mind map, hierarchy, concept, process, timeline, or cause-and-effect template
- Branches color themselves, and any node can take one of eight shapes
- Collapse a busy branch, then tidy the whole map in one step
Notes
Every kind of content, in one note.
Mix text, headings, images, and tables in one note, then turn the whole thing into cards or a map.
- Add images and tables right alongside your writing
- Write, draw, and study without leaving the note
- Turn any note into Focus Cards or a Focus Map
Neural Networks
A machine learning model loosely inspired by the human brain, built from layers of connected nodes that learn from data.
How it learns
Data flows forward through layers. Errors propagate backward to adjust weights, a process called backpropagation.
Layer types
| Layer | Function | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Receives raw data | Pixels |
| Hidden | Extracts features | Edges |
| Output | Makes prediction | Label |
Mistake Log
Turn every error into a future edge.
Jot down a mistake the moment it happens. FocusPace brings it back later, so you fix the gap instead of repeating it.
- Tag mistakes by subject to spot patterns over time
- Unfixed ones come back first in your daily review
- Mark it revised only once you truly understand it

Pro Move
- Write it down while it's fresh. A quick note beats a fuzzy memory later.
- Mark it revised only when you can explain the answer without peeking.
Spark
The cognitive engine under everything else.
Spark is the artificial intelligence inside FocusPace. It works from what you've already done: the cards you keep missing, the mistake that came back twice, the subject you've been avoiding. Then it does that thinking inside the screen you're already on.
- On a mistake: the root cause named, in expert or plain words, with a question to catch it next time
- On a task you keep skipping: why it's hard, an approach, and a first step small enough for tonight
- On your notes: Focus Cards drafted from your own material, then a practice test on them
- On a map node: the sub-topics that belong under it, minus the ones you already drew
- On your day: what's worth the next hour, and a Daily Challenge from your own subjects
Where the line is
- Spark won't do the thinking for you. It names the pattern; the recall is still yours.
- Answer the “ask yourself” question before you read the steps. That part is what sticks.
Glycolysis nets only 2 ATP. Most of it comes later, from the electron transport chain, for about 30 per glucose.
Which stage makes most of the ATP?
- List the three stages from memory.
- Add up the ATP each one makes.
- Check the total is near 30, not 2.
The daily loop
Every tool feeds one loop.
Plan, focus, capture, review, repeat: the features above aren't separate apps, they hand off to each other through the day. See how a day flows on How It Works.
