Stay On Track is a calm focus timer where each completed session moves your train through a railway you build one station at a time. Choose how long you have, depart the station, and focus while the scenery rolls by. When you arrive, collect Fare, discover new stations, unlock new lines, and grow a railway that gives your next session somewhere to go. HOW IT WORKS • Choose a 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90-minute focus journey—or browse for a destination. • Preview your ticket, route, duration, and rewards before departure. Optionally, set your focus type and apps to block. • Focus while your train travels through the line. • Arrive to collect rewards, discover stations, and keep exploring. • Return whenever you are ready. Your progress is saved on your device. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Pause and resume when life interrupts. • Interruptions never erase earlier progress. • Short hops count, so even a small block of time can move you forward. • The timer keeps its place when you lock your phone or switch apps. • Optional arrival alerts and daily reminders. • Optional iPhone app blocking during a focus trip. EXPLORE YOUR RAILWAY Start on the Copper Hollow Line and work toward new routes, train engines, achievements, conductor levels, and more stations to discover. Every completed journey leaves the railway a little more yours. FOR STUDY, WORK, AND QUIET FOCUS Use Stay On Track for reading, writing, coding, studying, planning, or any task that deserves one clear block of attention. App blocking allows you to end distractions. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN No account is required to start. Your railway progress, settings, and trip log stay on your device. No ads. No guilt trip—just one calm journey at a time. Board your next focus journey. Stay on track.
