a minimal focus timer that helps you build deep work habits — without the noise. Start a session, pick a tag, and focus. Loop runs quietly in the background, tracking your time through the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. When you're done, your session is saved automatically. - Simple by design : No Pomodoro pressure. No forced breaks. Just a clean timer that stays out of your way and lets you work at your own pace. - Tags for every kind of work: Create custom tags — Study, Work, Exercise, Reading, or anything else. See exactly where your time goes. - Stats that actually mean something: Weekly and monthly charts show your focus patterns at a glance. - Built for your rhythm: Night owl? Set a custom day boundary (e.g. 3 AM) so your late-night sessions count toward the right day. - Always within reach: Live Activity, Home Screen widget, Apple Watch companion app. - iCloud sync: Your sessions sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud. Start a session on your iPhone, check your stats on another device — everything stays in sync.
