Studying?
As someone who literally got culture shookt at how frickin crazy Japanese school is, I realised the importance of time management as a student. I don’t remember how I found this app on App store though.
It’s called Flip.
It’s an app that requires you to actually ‘flip’ your phone (your phone facing the table or whatever surface you’re studying on) to start the timer. Effective if you need minimal phone distraction. (Make sure to silent your phone so you won’t be tempted to check your phone. >:| )
Only downside is, if you need to check up on stuffs on your phone and flips it back, e.g searching up the meaning of a word on your phone’s dictionary, it will disrupt the timer and gives you a bad grade on your study session.
It uses pomodoro timer method, and your phone will vibrate once a session is up. It will also vibrate when your rest ends and you gotta continue the session.
There’s free and premium versions. I think free should be just okay if you just want to use the ‘flip’ function and study more effectively.
Pros:
No phone distraction
Pomodoro timer
Exam countdown (for free users, only for one exam tho)
Ranking system (best for competitive students)
Available on App store and Google store
Cons:
Glitches (supposedly rectified but noting it here just in case)
Can’t use it when you rely on your phone to study
I used it back on 2019 so I’m not sure if there are newer cooler features. Check em out and off you go to your studies!
