You know what to do β€” you just can't start. And when you finally do, your phone pulls you away. Dino is a task timer built for exactly that: pick one thing, press start, and it stays in your Dynamic Island until you're done. Designed around ADHD traits β€” procrastination, distraction, and time blindness. β–  One task at a time No long lists, no due dates, no priorities. Write one task and press start. Less choosing, faster starting. β–  It stays until you're done Your running task lives in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen as a Live Activity. Even when you wander into other apps, the task and its timer never leave your sight. β–  Three timer modes - Stopwatch: just track elapsed time - Timer: get notified after a set duration - Pomodoro: automatic work/break cycles β–  Focus Guard (Dino Pro) Block distracting apps while you focus. Unlocks automatically during breaks and pauses. β–  No guilt on off days Only what you finish is recorded. Broken streaks cost you nothing. Daily wins and a weekly graph quietly stack up the proof that you did the thing. β–  Also - Live Activity mirrored to Apple Watch Smart Stack - iCloud sync across your devices - Repeat-task templates The name? Do It Now + One task. Dino. β–  Terms & Privacy - Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy: https://quusoh.co.jp/apps/dino/privacy
