Let's face it, how many times have we gone to YouTube for something specific only to end up watching a video on beluga whales doing somersaults? How many times have we gone to Instagram just to message a friend to find ourselves scrolling 20 minutes deep into the news feed abyss? Too many times. BeTimeful is not another blocker app that blocks social media just to make you want to visit it more. Instead, it only takes the distracting elements of social media so you can still use social media & YouTube to your advantage! Technology is a tool for us to use. But if technology is using us, then who becomes the tool? - Jim Kwik At BeTimeful nation, technology becomes OUR tool, not vice versa. Join the mission & lets help each other one person at a time.

Orbit · ADHD Routine Builder
Read full descriptionHide full description
Orbit is a routine app for ADHD brains — the ones that know exactly what to do and still can't start. Instead of a checklist staring back at you, Orbit gives you an orb: a calm, glowing companion that takes over the moment you tap start. It counts down each step, breathes with you, and quietly celebrates when you finish. No red badges. No guilt. No 47-step setup. WHY IT WORKS WHEN OTHER APPS DON'T • One step at a time — you never see the whole mountain, only the thing you're doing right now • Streak freezes — miss a day and a freeze covers it, automatically. Your progress survives bad days • Start in one tap — from the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, or by asking Siri • Timers that learn — Orbit adapts step durations to how long things actually take you BUILD A ROUTINE IN A MINUTE Start from 14 ready-made routines — morning sunlight, deep work, box breathing, hydration, evening wind-down, digital detox and more — then tweak them, or build your own from scratch. Steps can be timed, counted, or simply ticked off. THE ORB FOLLOWS YOU Start a routine and it appears on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on your Home Screen widget, pulsing through each step in real time. Glance, see what's next, get back to it. Notifications tell you when a step ends — without pulling you back into your phone. STREAKS WITHOUT SHAME Streaks, levels and freezes reward showing up, not perfection. Missed days are visible but never punished — because the days you almost didn't open the app are the ones that count. FRIENDS, OPT-IN ONLY Share an invite link or QR code with one friend or ten and see each other's streaks on a private leaderboard. No followers, no algorithm, no strangers. Nothing is shared until you turn it on, and you can turn it off again at any time. MADE TO LOOK CALM Three orb styles, 28 colour palettes that shift with the time of day, pure-black backgrounds and soft motion. Full support for Reduce Motion. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything lives on your iPhone. Sync runs through your own private iCloud — we can't read it. Export or delete everything whenever you want. No ads. No trackers. ORBIT PRO Orbit Pro unlocks the whole app: unlimited routines, every template, all orb styles and palettes, Live Activities, widgets and the friend leaderboard. • Weekly — $2.99 per week, with a 3-day free trial • Yearly — $39.95 per year, with a 1-week free trial • Lifetime — $69.99 once, no subscription Prices are shown in your local currency before you buy.
