Its not on

Please open back the app and website up

Extremely helpful

Thank you!! This is almost exactly what I described to my dad in a recent conversation that started with, “You know what, someone should make an app like this for people with ADHD...”

Downloaded yesterday and started using today. Been very helpful so far.

Seems to work better on an iPad mini 4 than my old iPhone 5s (duh...?)

Useful, simple, fun—brilliant!

Update, 6 months later: I wish I could give Timmy Timer more than 5 stars. It’s addictive, in the best way. It keeps me on track, or helps me to keep myself on track, with the further assistance of a bunch of thoughtful and funny strangers. To add to the alliteration: Timmy Timer is totally terrific!

Original review, June 2020:

Just the right amounts of accountability and gamification to help me get more (and more meaningful) things done.

Kept freezing

It was great to start but then kept freezing so my timer wouldn’t turn on.

A Productivity App That You’ll Actually Want to Stick With

I’ve tried tons of productivity apps and haven’t stuck with them, but Timmy is actually different and super.

The idea is very simple, You set a plan for what you intend to get done and a timer for how long you expect it to take. Once the times up Timmy gives you a prompt to make a note of what you accomplished. A break timer starts up to give you a chance to get up stretch or whatever need be and then you can start a new timer and keep on knocking stuff out!

What makes this app perfect is that it doesn’t encourage any time wasting. Just a simple note for the plan and the result so you stay on track and stay accountable.

On top of that there’s extra accountability since your plan and result is posted into a public feed for your friends or other users to see. It’s just social enough to enhance your productivity without being a time vacuum and I always feel motivated to accomplish more.

Over the last few weeks using this app I’ve gotten more done on average and thanks to the apps logs I can actually compare my productivity week to week as well.
