**The only timer that actually tracks focus.** Most timers count the clock—not your attention. Every coffee run, every glance at your phone, still counts as “focused time.” Timero is different. It uses on-device AI to detect when you’re actually at your desk and focused, so only real focus time counts. **AI PRESENCE DETECTION** • Uses your device’s front camera to detect when you’re present and looking at the screen • Automatically pauses the timer when you step away—no more cheating the clock • Resumes the moment you return so you stay in flow • 100% on-device: no screenshots, no recordings, no data sent to servers. Your focus stays private. **POMODORO & NORMAL MODES** • Classic Pomodoro with configurable work and break lengths • Short and long breaks, with optional auto-cycling • Or use Normal mode for simple countdown sessions • Link tasks to sessions and track pomodoros per task **FOCUS SCORE & ANALYTICS** • Daily focus score based on completed sessions and interruptions • See how much you really focused today—not just how long the timer ran • Track streaks and build lasting focus habits **SMART REMINDERS & TASKS** • Unlimited tasks with estimated pomodoros • Mark tasks complete and see progress at a glance • Stay on top of what matters without leaving the app **DESIGNED FOR DEEP WORK** • Clean, minimal interface that stays out of your way • Standard and Strict detection modes: face-only or head-pose for stricter focus • Optional warning mode: a short grace period before auto-pause so brief glances don’t stop the timer **SUBSCRIPTION** Timero Premium unlocks presence detection, focus score, unlimited tasks, and full analytics. Choose monthly or save with an annual plan. Subscriptions auto-renew; you can cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. **PRIVACY** We take privacy seriously. Camera processing happens only on your device. We don’t store or transmit video or images. For details, see our Privacy Policy in the app. Download Timero and start counting the time you’re truly focused. Terms of Service - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
