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

Make room for one thing at a time. BubbleFocus is a Pomodoro and focus timer for studying, reading, writing, and getting work done. Choose a tag, set your time, and let a glass bubble keep you company. A SIMPLE WAY TO BEGIN Start with a tap, or enable flip control on a supported iPhone: place it face down to begin, pick it up to pause, and put it down again to continue. Flip control works while the app is open on the home screen. FIND YOUR OWN RHYTHM Choose a countdown or use the Pro count-up timer for open-ended work. Pause and resume when you need to. After a session, choose your break and enjoy the floating bubbles before returning to your next task. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Keep your focus history organized with tags. Review completed sessions, then explore trends, a weekly timeline, tag distribution, and a yearly heatmap with Pro. Focus sessions of at least five minutes are saved as valid records. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE Follow your timer through Live Activities on supported devices. Use light or dark appearance and choose a photo for your home background. No BubbleFocus account is required. Optional iCloud sync keeps focus history and tags in sync; active timers stay on the device where they started. Alarm alerts are free on supported devices running iOS 26 or later and require system authorization. Adding time to a completed countdown is also free, using "+2 min" in the app. BUBBLEFOCUS PRO Pro adds count-up timing, longer sessions up to 180 minutes, complete statistics, unlimited tags, and the Apple Watch companion. Pro is available through a monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime purchase. Features that require Pro are marked in the app. Availability of system features depends on your device and OS version. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. A lifetime purchase does not renew. BubbleFocus 2.0 is the new name and design of WaterFocus.
