## What is Zen Timer?

Focus. Grow. Evolve.

Zen Timer is a calm Pomodoro and focus timer for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. Every session you finish helps Orbilla, your focus companion, grow, rank up and unlock new looks.

Pick what you want to focus on: Study, Reading, Journal, Meditation, Deep Focus or a HIIT Workout. Set an intention and press start. Zen Timer moves you into rest on its own, waits until you're ready for the next round, and keeps honest track of the time you actually spent.

ORBILLA GROWS WITH YOU
- Focus time earns leaves for Orbilla's wardrobe and your Zen Garden
- Eight ranks to climb, from Cadet to Marshal
- Nothing is ever lost, and nothing is sold for money

A TIMER THAT FEELS LIKE A RITUAL
- Painted scenes for every mode, in a light Dawn and a deep Dusk theme
- Living atmospheres that move gently while you work: Mountain Mist, Aurora, Ember Glow, Ocean Tide, Starfield and more
- Classic Pomodoro rounds, or Flow mode: count up while you're in the zone, then take a longer break
- Start the next round automatically, or keep the screen on during a session
- Spoken cues, singing-bowl chimes or quiet haptics

SOUNDS FOR DEEP FOCUS
- Original soundscapes: tanpura drone, soft rain, ocean, forest, singing bowls and warm hum
- Your own sound mix, or Apple Music songs and playlists sized to your session

PLAN A CALMER DAY
- Plan my day: type or say your list and get a calm schedule, made on your device
- A visual day planner that checks your Calendar for conflicts
- Tasks with two-way Apple Reminders sync

FOCUS TOGETHER
- Focus Circles: see when friends are focusing, with no calls
- SharePlay a session on FaceTime and start, pause and rest in sync

CELEBRATE EVERY RETURN
- A completion moment with petals and a quick "how deep was your focus?" check-in
- A Zen Garden that grows a new plant for every routine you finish
- Insights, streaks that never punish you, and a weekly rhythm report

EVERYWHERE YOU ARE
- Mac: a native app with a menu bar timer and keyboard shortcuts
- Apple Watch: start a session on your wrist, with haptics at every phase
- iPad: a two-column layout with keyboard shortcuts
- Live Activity and Dynamic Island, widgets, StandBy, Control Center, Siri and Shortcuts
- Alarms that ring on silent and in StandBy when a break or session ends
- Apple Health: log meditation as Mindful Minutes and HIIT as workouts (optional)
- Accessible: Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency
