What's new

  • New name: $ Focus. The app now shows as "$ Focus" on your Home Screen.
  • Bottom tab bar: a floating tab bar with Timer · Tasks · Stats · Settings. Tasks and stats now each get their own full screen instead of one long scroll. The add-task bar sits just above the tab bar on Tasks.
  • Exam countdown: add your exams (THPT Quốc gia, IELTS, SAT, VSAT / ĐGNL, midterm, final or your own) in Settings → exams.
    • The nearest one shows under the timer as a chip, like D-45 · THPT.
    • You get a reminder at 8:00 one week before and the day before.
  • Mock-test timer: in the timer setup, pick a real exam length (THPT Toán 90', Văn 120', Anh 60', one subject 50'; IELTS Listening 30', Reading 60', Writing 60'; SAT modules 32' / 35').
    • The timer shows "MOCK TEST" and warns you 15 and 5 minutes before the end.
  • Subjects: tag any task with a subject from its ⋯ menu (Math, Literature, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, Civics, CS, or your own). Focus time is counted per subject.
  • Study stats on the new Stats tab:
    • a daily goal meter (e.g. 84 / 120m, goal adjustable from 30 minutes to 4 hours)
    • your streak of days meeting the goal (🔥)
    • this week's minutes by subject
  • Focus sounds: built-in rain, ocean, fan, and white, pink and brown noise (Settings → sound & haptics).
    • They're generated on the phone, so no internet is needed.
    • They play during focus blocks (or the whole time) and keep going on the lock screen.
    • They mix with Spotify, and have a volume slider and preview.
  • Privacy & terms agreement: setup now ends with a tick box to agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (both open right in the app). If you already use Focus, you'll be asked once.

Changed

  • Cozier colours: every style's background is a little lighter and warmer, so the app is easier on the eyes and less pitch-black. Your custom colours still apply.
  • Settings moved into the tab bar, and the header no longer has a settings button.
  • The first-run tour points at the new tab bar.
  • Vietnamese labels were shortened or resized so buttons, tabs and chips stay on one line.

Fixed

  • Network requests (Spotify, Google Calendar, update checks) now give up after 15 seconds instead of hanging, then retry later as usual.
  • The per-second tick no longer plays while the app is in the background.
  • Exam reminders and mock-test warnings also show while the app is open.

Tiếng Việt

  • Ứng dụng đổi tên thành "$ Focus". Thanh điều hướng mới ở dưới: Hẹn giờ · Việc · Thống kê · Cài đặt.
  • Đếm ngược kỳ thi (THPT, IELTS, SAT, VSAT/ĐGNL…), hẹn giờ thi thử đúng thời lượng đề thật, gắn môn học cho từng việc, mục tiêu học mỗi ngày, chuỗi ngày 🔥 và thống kê theo môn.
  • Âm thanh tập trung có sẵn (mưa, biển, quạt, tiếng ồn trắng / hồng / nâu), phát cả khi khoá màn hình và hoà cùng Spotify.
  • Màu sắc dịu và ấm hơn; cần đánh dấu đồng ý Chính sách quyền riêng tư và Điều khoản; chữ tiếng Việt không còn bị xuống dòng ở nút và nhãn.
