Moment is a focus timer for deep work, made from a different starting point: that deep work is closer to wellbeing than to productivity. FOCUS WITH INTENTION Give your session an intention, set the dial to anywhere from 5 to 90 minutes, and start. Focus on one thing at a time, with the time left in view on your iPhone, in your Mac's menu bar, or on your wrist. BLOCK THE APPS THAT PULL YOU AWAY With Moment Pro on iPhone and iPad, the apps, categories, and websites you choose won't open until the session ends. You decide before you start, and the session holds to it. BREAKS THAT ARE PART OF THE WORK Rest is a natural part of deep, fulfilling focus: a short break after each session, a longer one after several, and a gentle suggestion for how to use that time. REFLECT ON HOW IT FELT When a session ends, mark how it felt, from scattered to flowing. No judgment or streak tracking. Over time the answers add up to a picture of how you focus, what helps, and what gets in the way. SEE THE PATTERNS Stats gathers every session from every device. With Moment Pro, Insights show you the patterns between what you worked on, when, and how it felt, written on your device by Apple Intelligence on devices that support it. Nothing leaves your device. EVERY APPLE DEVICE Native on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro, with your sessions in sync over iCloud. Four themes, Ocean, Air, Sand, and Forest, each with its own ambient sound. On iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, focus time goes to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes and State of Mind. Works with Siri, Shortcuts, Focus filters, widgets, and Live Activities. MOMENT PRO The timer, breaks, sounds, and reflections are free. Moment Pro adds app blocking on iPhone and iPad, full Stats and Insights, and the floating timer on Mac and Vision Pro. Monthly, yearly, or once; prices are in the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://momenttimer.com/privacy-policy
