"The Guilt-Free Timer Designed for ADHD" Have you ever given up on a timer app? It’s not your lack of willpower. It was simply the wrong tool. HyperFocus is a productivity tool built with the ADHD brain in mind. We don’t judge or blame. Start without a plan, and get praised even when you stop midway. [4 Principles of HyperFocus] 1. Start in 1 Second (Zero Friction) No complex settings, no login required. Just open the app and press one button to dive into your flow. We eliminate the gap between thought and action to help you execute immediately. 2. Dopamine Every 5 Minutes (Micro Rewards) Do you have to endure 25 minutes to get a reward? Not here. We give you stars, haptic feedback, and praise every 5 minutes. Keep your brain stimulated and engaged without the boredom. 3. Stopping Midway is Still a "Success" (No Shame) Stopped after 14 minutes? That is not a failure. That is "14 minutes of success." Even if you stop early, your records accumulate. Your effort never goes to waste. [Medical Disclaimer] This app is a productivity tool designed to assist with time management and concentration. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
