A comprehensive walkthrough of GATEletics tools and features to optimize your exam preparation.
1. Onboarding & Branch Setup
When launching GATEletics for the first time, complete a 3-step setup to customize your workspace:
Select Branch Preset: Pick from 7 official GATE branches: Computer Science (CS), Data Science & AI (DA), Electronics (EC), Electrical (EE), Civil (CE), Mechanical (ME), or Chemical (CH).
Set Target Focus Goal: Choose your daily target study hours (e.g., 4 to 8 hours per day).
Set Target Exam Date: Select your upcoming GATE exam date to initialize the live countdown timer.
2. Syllabus Tracking Workflow
Keep precise track of every topic across your engineering branch:
Navigate to the Syllabus tab from the bottom navigation bar.
Expand subject categories to view individual topics and sub-tasks.
Tap checkboxes to mark topics as completed. The top progress bar and branch completion percentage will automatically update with atomic precision.
3. Focus Workspace & Real-Time Clock
Structure your study sessions with scientific timer techniques:
Open the Focus Workspace from the dashboard or navigation bar.
Choose your preferred focus mode:
Pomodoro Mode: 25-minute focus session with 5-minute break intervals.
Ultradian Mode: 90-minute deep focus block with 20-minute recovery breaks.
Count-Up Mode: Open-ended focus timer for unrestricted study sessions.
Real-Time Clock: Review the active time string (`07:44 PM`) positioned right under the mode container. Completed focus sessions automatically update your focus history logs.

Tap Share Progress on your dashboard.
Customize privacy controls to show or hide total focus hours, completed topics, or streak count.
Generate a high-resolution story progress graphic ready for instant saving or sharing.
6. Offline Data & Cloud Backup
