Set how long you want to focus, press start — and your own galaxy awakens on screen. Finish your session and a new star is born, glowing along a spiral arm. This simple rule turns "putting your phone down" into a joy. With Trance, focus isn't something you endure — it's the joy of growing your own galaxy. The core focus timer, galaxy, and soundscapes are free — with no ads. ■ How it works · Pick a focus length — preset buttons, or turn the ring minute by minute (1–180 min) · Your galaxy lives and turns while you focus · Finish, and a new star is born ■ Features · A living galaxy — luminous line-art drawn in light, a gently turning spiral · One evolving galaxy — every session adds stars and constellations to a shape that's yours alone · Star color & size — shaped by when and how long you focused · Weekly constellations — reach your weekly goal to connect that week's stars into a named figure · Constellation collection — revisit completed constellations and include them in your galaxy poster · 16 focus soundscapes — from real Mars wind recorded by NASA's Perseverance rover to rain, thunder, forest, waves, campfire, café and a singing bowl · Free poster — save and share your galaxy as a single image · Focus stats & insights — streaks, completion rate, a "night sky" activity map · Evolving galaxy shapes — spiral → barred → elliptical → ringed → irregular as you grow · 5 galaxy themes — Cyan / Rose / Emerald / Abyss / Aurora nebulae · Home & lock-screen widgets, plus a lock-screen timer (Live Activity) · Optional Trance Pro — app blocking during focus, multiple blocking sets, and protected-focus reports · No ads · no account — your focus history stays on-device (non-linked product analytics only) Start focusing — the most beautiful way.
