Pour turns your routines into something you can press play on. Pick a routine, tap it, and the whole screen fills with liquid β€” water, honey, sand, or mercury β€” that drains as each step elapses. Full means the step just started; empty means it's done. Time you can see, built for time blindness. Pour is designed for ADHD brains. Starting is the hard part, so Pour keeps it to two taps: open the app, tap a routine, and you're pouring. No setup screens in the way, no confirmations, no judgment when plans change. PRESS PLAY ON A ROUTINE β€’ Build routines from simple steps, each with its own duration β€’ Four templates ready on first launch: Morning, Get Out the Door, Reset Sprint, and Wind-down β€’ Reorder, reschedule, and reshape them any time β€” everything autosaves TIME YOU CAN SEE β€’ A liquid timer fills the screen and drains in real time β€’ Huge, steady numerals that never jump around β€’ Gentle chimes and soft haptics mark each step change β€’ Pause, skip, or add two minutes β€” skipping is always allowed KEEPS POURING WHEN YOU LOOK AWAY β€’ Live Activity and Dynamic Island show the current step on your Lock Screen β€’ Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets start a routine in one tap β€’ Optional scheduled invitations β€” we'll only nudge when you ask us to NO STREAKS, NO SHAME β€’ History shows the times you showed up β€” never the days in between β€’ Ending early still counts; Pour says so β€’ No chains, no scores, no guilt β€” ever PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ Everything stays on your phone β€’ No account, no tracking, no analytics POUR PRO (optional) β€’ Unlimited routines and all four materials β€’ Chime packs, History insights, and alternate app icons β€’ Monthly, yearly (with a 14-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase β€” Family Sharing included on lifetime Pour is a visual timer and routine player. It makes time visible and routines easier to start β€” nothing more, nothing less.
