## What is Tiempo?

Watch your focus take shape.

Choose a full-screen canvas and start a session. Sand gathers grain by grain, water rises and sways, tiles assemble into a mosaic, and a painting appears stroke by stroke. When the time is up, the picture is complete.

CANVASES
• Sand, drawn live grain by grain as your session runs
• Minimal, a quiet line that traces the time around the screen
• Clock and Flip Clock, for timed or untimed sessions
• With Tiempo Unlock: Water, Mosaic and Painting, drawn live as your session runs; Meditation, a guided breathing practice with optional sound and gentle haptics; and the Hourglass. Each has a 20-second preview.

FOCUS YOUR WAY
• Set your own focus and break lengths, pause when you need to, or end early and keep the time you focused
• Take the break Tiempo offers when a session ends, or skip it
• Soundscapes: white, pink and brown noise, Garden and Zen, and with Tiempo Unlock recorded rain, rain with thunder, ocean and fire
• Finish with a completion card, and share or save a picture of a finished canvas
• Alarms on iPhone and iPad, and a stopwatch, kept apart from your focus time

PLAN AND LOOK BACK, WITH TIEMPO UNLOCK
• Plan with reusable topics and time blocks
• Keep written or voice notes with your sessions
• History and Insights show your days, your rhythm and where your time went
• Your sessions keep saving before you unlock, and Export my data is always free

EVERYWHERE YOU ARE
• iPhone: widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a Live Activity while a session runs
• iPad and Mac: every canvas fills the window, with keyboard shortcuts
• Apple Watch: start a session on your wrist, even with your iPhone away, or follow the one on your iPhone; it joins your History
• Apple TV: your canvases on the big screen, as channels

TIEMPO UNLOCK
One payment, no subscription. It adds the Water, Mosaic, Painting, Hourglass and Meditation canvases; Plan, Notes, History and Insights; painting your own photos; four recorded soundscapes; and more looks (Sand colorways, Water palettes, Mosaic designs and frame colors). It works on all your devices, and Family Sharing is on. Sand, Minimal, Clock, Flip Clock, Alarms, the Stopwatch and every timer feature stay free.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no advertising and no tracking. Your sessions and notes stay on your devices.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-11-09

• Fixes a crash on iPhone when showing Clock or Flip Clock sideways.

### 1.3 — 2026-11-08

• On iPhone, Clock and Flip Clock now turn sideways: the clock on one side, its controls on the other.
• Stopwatch and Alarms work sideways too, in two columns.
• During a session, with Portrait Orientation Lock off, hold your iPhone sideways and the controls turn to stay upright. A meditation turns too.
• On a Mac, Notes, Plan, Insights and History have their own pages for a wide window: your notes beside the open note with your topics a click away, the week beside the day, Insights on one screen, and the month beside the day.

### 1.2 — 2026-11-06

• Tiempo now speaks Spanish, Japanese, German, Korean and French.
• The whole app is translated: every canvas, Plan, Notes, History and Insights, and the Apple Watch and Apple TV apps.
• Tiempo follows the language of your device.

### 1.1 — 2026-11-06

• A new look for Plan, Notes, History and Insights: light in Light Mode, dark in Dark Mode, with each topic in the color of a canvas.
• Plan shows your day as one line: what's planned, what you've focused, and now.
• Notes sit in two columns, and History tints each day with its main topic.
• Tap a checklist box or a bullet to tick it off, right on the Notes page or in the note.
• Insights says what your time made: this week, something a canvas would fill; this month, a journey about as long; all time, your grains of sand, cups of water, paintings and tiles.
• Siri and Shortcuts: start, pause, resume or end a session, take a break, meditate, or ask how long you've focused today.
• A Start Focus button for Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button.
• A Focus, like Work, can start a Tiempo session, and end and save it when the Focus ends.
• Meditation can save to Apple Health as mindful minutes. Turn it on in the meditation settings.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-04

• Ten new paintings for the Painting canvas, each starting as its own pencil sketch: Wisteria Court, Wildflower Coast, Amber Crossing, Redwood Hush, Iris Reflections, Olive Light, Winter Lanterns, Hidden Oasis, Golden Fields and Rain on the Canal. They come with Tiempo Unlock, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, and in the widgets.
• A new look for Plan, Notes, History and Insights, with icons drawn in the style of Tiempo's app icon. Settings, Alarms, the Stopwatch, the meditation setup and the welcome guide share it, and Alarms now shows the alarm that rings next at the top.
• Sand pours one grain at a time, falling at a natural speed in sessions of any length.
• iPhone Duo: Tiempo fits both displays, follows the fold as you open and close it, and in Book pose gathers its controls on the right of the fold. It works in Split View too.
• Lap times stay on one line at the largest text sizes.
