Session Timer vs Nudge

DEEPFOCUS helps you reclaim your attention and build deep focus habits that last. Create distraction-free work sessions, stay productive without burnout, and see real progress over time. CORE FOCUS EXPERIENCE Turn any moment into a deep work session. Start focused timers from 5 minutes to 2 hours and match them to your goals: a 25-minute reading sprint, a 90-minute coding block, a 45-minute writing session, or a quick 10-minute review. DeepFocus gives every session a clear start and end so you can begin faster, avoid endless screen time, and stay locked in. FOCUS INTERVAL TECHNIQUE Use a proven work-break rhythm with minimal effort. Pick classic 25 minutes of focus with 5-minute breaks or fully customize your own intervals. DeepFocus automatically switches between focus and rest and prompts you when it is time to work and when it is time to recover. This helps you build long productive streaks while reducing mental fatigue and decision overload. IMMERSIVE SOUND ENVIRONMENT Block distractions with concentration-friendly soundscapes. Choose from carefully selected options like rain forest, urban cafe, silent library, ocean waves, and calm instrumental backgrounds to stay engaged without pulling your attention back to your surroundings. INTELLIGENT PROGRESS TRACKING Understand your focus habits so you can improve intentionally. DeepFocus shows: - Sessions completed today, this week, and this month - Total time spent in deep focus - Streaks of consecutive focused days - The time of day you are most productive - Trends and patterns over time Ask yourself practical questions like: When do I focus best? How many hours did I really study this week? Am I improving compared to last month? TASK MANAGEMENT Know exactly what you are spending your focus on. Assign each session to a category such as Work, Study, Coding, Reading, or create your own custom task. When the day or week ends, review which activities used most of your deep focus time and adjust your schedule so your effort matches your priorities. PREMIUM FEATURES Upgrade your focus system with deeper insights and more control: - Advanced analytics with deeper habit insights - Custom task creation and detailed task management - Apple Focus Mode integration to reduce interruptions while you work - A larger premium ambient sound library - Session effectiveness ratings to track quality, not only time - Data export to back up or analyze your focus results elsewhere Whether you are studying for exams, driving deep work at a job, or protecting uninterrupted creative time, DeepFocus gives you structure, feedback, and an environment built to keep you on task.

Focus is hard when life keeps interrupting. Kids, coworkers, phone calls, that thing you just remembered — it all adds up. Most timer apps punish you for being human. Nudge doesn't. **KEY FEATURES** - Gentle timer that pauses without punishment — pause whenever life interrupts, resume when you're ready. No dead trees, no failed sessions, no guilt. - Background execution that actually works — lock your phone, switch apps, put it in your pocket. Your timer keeps running and alerts you when it's time. - Silent vibration mode (Library Safe) — a custom triple-pulse vibration pattern that works even on mute. Focus in libraries, open offices, and shared spaces without disturbing a soul. - Flexible presets — Pomodoro, countdown, or open-ended count-up mode. Build timers that match how you actually work, not how a textbook says you should. - Session history with honest stats — see your real focus time, pause count, and total duration. No inflated numbers, no gamified streaks to stress about. - Smart defaults & day context — time-of-day greetings, remembered last preset, auto-start breaks. Nudge learns how you work and gets out of the way. **WHY NUDGE?** We built Nudge because every focus timer we tried made us feel worse. Paused? Failed session. Locked your phone? Timer stopped. Need silence? Too bad, here's an alarm. Nudge is different: - No shame for pausing. Life happens. Your timer understands. - ADHD-friendly. Flexible structures instead of rigid 25/5 boxes. Time awareness without time pressure. - Warm, not aggressive. Amber glow instead of red alerts. Encouraging copy instead of streaks and punishments. - One-time purchase. No subscriptions draining your account every month. **WHAT'S INCLUDED FREE** - Classic Pomodoro timer (25/5) - Up to 3 custom presets - Full session history - Silent vibration alerts - Background timer execution - All core features, no ads, no account required **NUDGE PRO — $6.99 (one-time)** - Unlimited custom presets - Per-timer analytics and breakdowns - Time awareness mode (periodic gentle nudges for time-blindness) - Shortcuts integration - CSV data export - Priority support All your data stays on your device.
