Critter Timer is a cozy focus timer for your Apple Watch, starring hand-illustrated woodland companions that move and work alongside you. Tap to start a focus session, and your chosen critter settles into their tiny world — a rabbit by candlelight in a cozy hut, a fox curled up in an English library, or a cat working at a cottage desk. They study while you study. Then it's break time. Your companion stretches, looks out the window, sips tea, gazes at the stars. The scene shifts to twilight. Two minutes, five minutes, however long you set — and back to focus when you're ready. DESIGNED FOR THE WRIST • Standalone watchOS app — no iPhone needed once installed • Beautiful animated scenes optimized for Apple Watch displays • Digital Crown to adjust focus and break lengths • Simple tap-to-start, tap-to-pause controls • Time-sensitive notifications keep you on schedule, even during Focus mode • Subtle haptics throughout — never jarring THREE COMPANIONS, ONE WORLD • A rabbit in a quill-and-ink study, candle flickering, cozy hut at dusk • A fox in a Victorian library, leather chairs and stacked books • A cat at a cottage writing desk, surrounded by warm lamplight FOCUS SESSIONS • 5 to 60 minutes, in 5-minute increments • Choose your length per session BREAK SESSIONS • 1 to 30 minutes • Different scene tone — softer light, looser poses • A gentle reminder to actually rest BUILT FOR DEEP WORK • Track your daily session count and watch your streak grow • Auto-start option flows you straight from focus into break, and back again — no taps, no friction • Resume gracefully if you switch wrists, get pulled away, or your watch sleeps mid-session • Distinct visual tone for focus vs. break so you always know where you are WHY YET ANOTHER TIMER? Most focus timers feel like productivity software. Critter Timer feels like a window into a small, kind world. Whether you're working, studying, reading, journaling, meditating, or just trying to be present for 25 minutes — your companion is right there, doing their thing alongside you. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. Just you, your watch, and a small woodland friend. Built with care for people who love their Apple Watch and want a focus tool that respects both their attention and their aesthetic.
