## What is Restla?

Your eyes get tired long before your focus does.
Most focus timers keep you staring at a screen for hours and call it productivity.
Restla is a focus timer that makes you look away.

HOW IT WORKS
Start a session of 20, 40, 60 or 90 minutes. A small tortoise sets off beside the clock and carries one stone for every 20 minutes you work.
Every 20 minutes Restla pauses for a 20-second eye break. The tortoise looks far away; you do the same, then tap "I looked away" and the session continues. That is the 20-20-20 rule eye-care professionals recommend, built into every session.
When the session ends, the stones stand as a small cairn on your shore.

NO BLOCKING, NO SHAME
Restla does not lock your apps or your phone. If you leave, the tortoise tucks into its shell and the clock keeps running. Nothing dies, nothing gets sad, no streak is lost. Stop early and the minutes still count.

THE SHORE
Every session leaves a cairn. Stone types open one by one with the minutes you focus, in a fixed order, never by chance. Thirty-six kinds to walk toward.

SEE YOUR WEEK
Focus minutes, eye breaks taken and your day streak on one screen. A streak only ends after two empty days.

EYE BREAKS ONLY
Choose "No end" and Restla runs the classic 20-20-20 timer until you stop it, the same way it always has. Pomodoro mode is there too.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your data stays on your device and the app works without internet. Available in 17 languages.

RESTLA PRO
One payment, forever. Pro removes the banner, adds three shell patterns and twelve quarry stones for the tortoise, and keeps a year of sessions instead of 90 days. No subscription.

Restla is a timer and a reminder, not medical advice. If your eyes hurt, see an eye care professional.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-11-11

Meet the tortoise.

Restla is now a focus timer. Start a session and a small tortoise walks beside the clock, carrying one stone for every 20 minutes you work. Every 20 minutes you still get your 20-second eye break, now inside the session, and the tortoise looks far away with you.

Leave the app and nothing happens: the clock keeps running, the tortoise waits. No blocking, no lost streaks.

Prefer the old way? Choose "No end" for the classic 20-20-20 timer.
