Turn your phone into a calming night light with a sleep timer and soothing sounds. Lumentime helps you fall asleep faster, wind down at bedtime, meditate, and focus — with warm ambient lighting you control. Pick a color, set the brightness, choose a sound, and let the timer gently dim the light until you drift off. WHY PEOPLE USE LUMENTIME Fall asleep faster — soft, warm light instead of a harsh screen Insomnia and restless nights — a calm, consistent wind-down ritual Bedtime routine for kids — a gentle night light that fades out on its own Meditation and breathing — slow, pulsing light to breathe along with Reading and late-night focus — soft glow that's easier on tired eyes Mood lighting — turn any room into something quieter KEY FEATURES Custom Night Lamps Build your own lamps. Choose any color, set brightness exactly where you want it, name them, and switch between them in a tap. Sleep Timer with Auto-Dimming Set a timer and the light fades down gradually instead of cutting out. No jolt, no dark room surprise — just a slow fade as you fall asleep. 15 Ambient Sounds White noise, brown noise, rain and thunderstorms, ocean waves, crackling fireplace, forest at night, morning birds, a babbling stream, waterfalls, and more. Loop them all night alongside your light. Four Display Modes Full Screen for maximum soft glow. LED for a warm orb. Neon for glowing custom text — write anything you like. Glass for a soft frosted look. Flow Mode A slow breathing light that rises and falls at your chosen speed. Made for meditation, box breathing, and anxiety relief. Device Brightness Sync Optionally let the lamp control your screen brightness so everything stays consistent — no fiddling with the slider in the dark. Custom Neon Text Type a word, a name, or a message and see it glow. Nice for bedside tables, desks, parties, and photos. FREE VS PRO Free 2 custom lamps Full Screen mode Basic timer 3 ambient sounds Ad-supported, requires an internet connection Pro — one-time payment, no subscription Unlimited lamps All four display modes: Full, LED, Neon, Glass Auto-dimming sleep timer Flow Mode breathing light All 15 ambient sounds Completely ad-free Works offline Pro is a single purchase. No subscription, no renewal, nothing to cancel. Buy it once and it stays unlocked on your Apple ID. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No email required. Your lamps and settings never leave your device. No cloud sync, no servers, no tracking of how you use the app. Open it and it just works. Note: lamp settings are saved on your device only, so they won't transfer if you switch phones or reinstall. GOOD TO KNOW The free version needs an internet connection because it's ad-supported. Pro works fully offline. A heads-up on health and safety: Lumentime is a relaxation and ambience tool, not a medical device or a treatment for any condition. Flow Mode and other animated effects produce changing brightness — if you have photosensitive epilepsy, a seizure disorder, or migraines triggered by light, please talk to a doctor first. Stop using it if you feel any discomfort. Don't rely on the timer for anything critical like medication reminders or alarms. Download Lumentime and give yourself better nights — softer light, calmer sound, and a bedtime routine that actually sticks. Questions or ideas?

FocusKit is a Pomodoro study timer that keeps you honest. Step away from your desk and the session pauses. Start a session and every app except the ones you allow stays locked until it ends. STEP AWAY? THE TIMER PAUSES The front camera checks that you're still there. If it can't see you for 10 seconds (you choose 5–30), the session pauses and waits for you. Faces are detected on your device — nothing is recorded or uploaded, and you can turn it off anytime. STRICT MODE: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS While a session runs, every app except the ones you allow stays behind a Screen Time shield. FocusKit never sees which apps you use. POMODORO, YOUR WAY Classic 25-minute Pomodoros or long deep-work blocks: set focus from 5 to 60 minutes and give each task its own length. With Pro, tune short breaks, long breaks and cycles too. A FOCUS TIMER FOR EVERY TASK Give each task a color, an icon, a focus length and a weekly goal, then pick it before you start. See exactly where your hours go. STATS THAT KEEP YOU GOING Day and week views with time by task. Pro adds month and year views, insights, a year heatmap and your full session history. Share your stats in one tap. DAILY GOAL & FOCUS STREAK Set a daily goal from 15 minutes to 8 hours and keep your streak alive. Every focused minute earns coins — spend them on streak shields for the days life gets in the way. FOCUS SOUNDS Thunder and white noise, plus rain, fire and coffee shop with Pro — seamless loops that start with every session. Pro lets you layer them. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity shows the countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with pause and stop. Home Screen widgets and StandBy keep today's progress in view. BUILT FOR • Students preparing for exams and finals • ADHD brains that drift • Deep work, writing and coding • Anyone trying to put the phone down FOCUSKIT PRO Unlimited tasks (the free plan includes 3), month and year stats with insights, custom breaks and cycles, every widget, every sound and mixing, and iCloud backup & restore. Weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. No account needed. Daily reminders are optional. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your account settings.
