ORBIS is a focus timer that turns deep focus into your own universe. Start a focus session and a new celestial body begins to form. Focus for 20 minutes or more, and that time is born as a planet, a moon, or a rare object from deep space. The longer you focus, the higher your chance of discovering rare bodies. Every body you earn settles into your galaxy and your Codex, each with the real science behind it: from Earth to the black hole at the center of our galaxy and the stars beside it. ORBIS is made for studying, reading, writing, coding, and creative work. Anything that needs deep focus. It isn't just a timer that counts minutes. Your focus stays visible, and it's yours to keep. WHAT ORBIS DOES • Earn a celestial body for every focus session of 20 minutes or more • Collect 100+ celestial bodies across galaxy themes: the Solar System, Alpha Centauri, Sagittarius A*, and Roche Limit • Travel by flying between real stars • Read the real story of every body in your Codex • Block distracting apps while you focus • Focus to ambient sound: deep-space ambience, rain, campfire, forest, ocean waves, and more • Follow your session on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Enjoy the bodies you've collected on your Home Screen with widgets • Tag your sessions and see your weekly focus statistics • Earn star energy as you focus, and use it to unlock new themes In ORBIS, focus isn't time that simply passes. It becomes a universe you can see, collect, and return to. Today's focus becomes a star.
