Read full description

A focus timer worth looking at. Most focus timers look like a spreadsheet with a countdown in it. This one is built the other way round. A single enormous numeral, bleeding off the edge of a field of acid green. Behind it, a mechanism that moves once per second, locked to the clock and never drifting. Rings that bounce, breathe, ripple inward, or pass momentum down a Newton's cradle. When you start a session the whole field inverts to black and the numbers light up like something switched on behind them. Tap anywhere to start. Swipe to change the mechanism. Double-tap to change the colour. You never have to open a menu. 25/5, 50/10, 90/20, or count up. The classic pomodoro, longer ultradian blocks, or open-ended flow when you don't want a deadline. Timed properly. Built on timestamps, not ticks. Lock your phone, switch apps, come back: it is exactly where it should be. It tells you when you are done, even with the screen off. No account. No sync. No data leaves your phone. ACID INTERVAL PRO One payment unlocks all eight mechanisms, all seven colourways, and custom interval lengths. The timer itself is free and always will be.
