Stop procrastinating in 5 minutes. Not 25. Not "when you feel like it." Five. Every productivity app assumes you already know how to start. Just 5min doesn't. It's built on one idea: the hardest part of any task isn't finishing it, it's beginning it — and five minutes is short enough that your brain stops negotiating. Tap start. Commit to five minutes. That's the whole app. WHY FIVE MINUTES WORKS Traditional Pomodoro timers ask for 25 minutes upfront. If you're procrastinating, avoiding a task, or living with ADHD, 25 minutes feels like a wall. Five minutes doesn't. It's small enough to say yes to on your worst day — and once you're in motion, most sessions run long on their own. The app tracks this: users routinely turn single five-minute sessions into hours of real work, one small commitment at a time. Just 5min is a deadline, not a countdown you can pause and forget. Once you start, the clock runs — even if you background the app — so the five minutes you committed to are the five minutes you get. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY FAIL, NOT HOW YOU WISH YOU WORKED Streaks that forgive you. Miss a day and most habit trackers just reset to zero, so you give up. Just 5min gives you freeze days — real forgiveness built into the streak, not a guilt trip. Life happens; your streak doesn't have to die because of it. Distraction Log. After a session, log what actually pulled your focus — social media, messaging, a video, anything. Over a week, the app shows you exactly what's stealing your attention, so you can fix the real problem instead of guessing. Session history and pattern breakdowns. See when your focus actually lands — which hours, which days, which moods produce your best sessions. Tag sessions, add notes, and start noticing your own patterns instead of assuming them. 17 badges that mean something. Earned for consistency, not for opening the app. Share them straight to your socials. 8 themes, custom sounds. Make the timer yours — it's a screen you'll look at every day. FOCUS SHIELD — BLOCK THE APPS THAT DERAIL YOU Starting a session is one thing. Staying in it is another. Focus Shield locks the apps that pull you away — social, messaging, video — for the length of your session, using Apple's Screen Time framework. No willpower required; the block is the willpower. CALENDAR SYNC Every finished session writes itself straight to your calendar. No manual logging, no separate time-tracking app — your focus history lives where your schedule already lives. WEEKLY RECAP Every Sunday, a clear breakdown of your week: total focus time, best day, longest streak, and where your distractions came from. Not a wall of charts — a two-minute read that actually tells you something. HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS + LIVE ACTIVITIES Start a session, see it counting down on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, and check your streak from the Home Screen without opening the app. WHO THIS IS FOR Students cramming for exams who need to just open the textbook already People with ADHD or task-initiation struggles who need a smaller "yes" Freelancers, writers, and side-project builders who procrastinate on their own work more than anyone else's Anyone who has ever opened a 25-minute Pomodoro app, stared at it, and closed it again JUST 5MIN PLUS unlocks custom durations from 5 to 180 minutes, full unlimited history, 4 freeze days plus streak alerts, all 17 badges, all 8 themes, all sounds, Focus Shield, Calendar Sync, session notes and mood tags, pattern breakdowns, and a custom daily goal.
