About

Attention

Features
Read full description

Your mind wanders. Attention gently brings it back. Attention sends you calm, spoken reminders throughout the day to pause, breathe, and notice where your attention actually is. It's a simple mindfulness companion for anyone who wants to stay present — whether you're working, studying, or just trying to be a little less on autopilot. A chime sounds, a short pause gives you a moment to settle, and then a warm, natural voice speaks a gentle prompt like "Where is your attention right now?" or "Take a breath. What do you actually need to be doing?" WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Natural spoken voices — choose from 10 warm, human-sounding voices, built right into the app so they work completely offline. • Works even when your phone is locked — reminders play aloud with sound, so you don't have to be staring at your screen. • On your schedule — pick a fixed interval or a random one for a more surprising nudge, and set active hours so you're never disturbed at night. • 25 thoughtful prompts — gentle, grounding messages written to bring you back to the present. Turn off any you don't like, or add your own. • Choose your sound — 10 calming chimes, from a soft bell to a Tibetan singing bowl, with an adjustable pause before the message. • Completely private — no accounts, no tracking, no data collection. Everything stays on your device. Attention is quiet, calm, and respectful of your time. No streaks, no pressure, no noise — just a gentle reminder to come back to now. Download it, set your interval, and let your attention find its way home.
