  • No distraction when you are in "Focused Work Mode"
  • Limit the interruptions.

    Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

    Ashley Anthony

    This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

    Laetitia Berton

    I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
