TickBoom turns your goals into real commitments instead of vague intentions. Set a goal, choose a duration, start the countdown, and work until the timer hits zero. At the end, you face a simple outcome: success or failure. Less procrastination. More action. A lot more things actually finished. Unlike a basic to‑do list or a standard timer, TickBoom adds urgency, accountability, and momentum. You are not just listing tasks – you are committing to them in real time. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH TICKBOOM: – Create time‑bound goals and commitments instead of endless lists – Track active time and real progress, session after session – Build daily streaks and monitor your success rate over time – Break down bigger goals into clear, manageable subtasks – Use Strict Mode to stay locked in until the countdown ends – Keep focus sessions live on your Lock Screen with Live Activities – Personalize the app with multiple visual themes that match your mood WHY THIS WORKS: Most productivity apps stop at planning. You write tasks, you feel productive… and then nothing moves. TickBoom pushes you one step further: it forces a decision. Did you actually do what you said you would do during that time block – yes or no? That simple success/failure loop is what builds momentum. Each finished session gives you a win. Each missed one is a signal you can see, measure, and improve. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLE TO START AND FINISH: TickBoom is especially powerful if you: – Procrastinate on important but uncomfortable tasks – Open your laptop and drift between apps without real progress – Start many things but rarely bring them to the finish line – Feel overwhelmed by big goals and don’t know where to begin By turning every session into a commitment with a visible result, TickBoom helps you start faster, stay focused longer, and finish more often. PERFECT FOR: – Deep work sessions where you want zero excuses – Studying and revision blocks with a clear start and end – Work sprints for remote workers and freelancers – ADHD-friendly timeboxing with structure and feedback – Anyone tired of β€œsoft” timers that are easy to ignore HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF TICKBOOM 1. Pick one concrete task, not a vague project. 2. Set a countdown that feels challenging but realistic. 3. Turn on Strict Mode when you really need to commit. 4. At the end, be honest: success or failure. 5. Use streaks and stats to see your real follow‑through improve. Over time, you will not just β€œplan better” – you will build a stronger identity: someone who finishes what they start.

Flowti: A gentler way to focus, designed for ADHD minds. Tired of timers that feel like a judge? Flowti is a judgment-free focus companion built for neurodivergent brains and anyone who struggles with attention. Instead of just counting down seconds, it shows time flowing as a calming visual arc: making abstract time feel tangible, reducing anxiety, and helping you stay on track. Why Flowti works for ADHD: β€’ Visual Time Arc: Watch time progress as a soft animated ring, not just stressful numbers. ADHD brains process visuals better, making it easier to sense how much time remains without constantly checking. β€’ Gentle Distraction Tracking: Mind wandered? Tap the distraction button anytime. Flowti logs it with kind feedback ("That's okay, let's keep going"): zero guilt, just gentle awareness. No shaming, no productivity scoring. β€’ Structured Breaks That Actually Reset You: After each focus session, get specific rest suggestions instead of mindless phone-scrolling. Choose quick 5-minute sprints, classic Pomodoro (25/5), or custom durations that match your rhythm. β€’ "Start with 5 Minutes" Button: Overcoming activation energy is hard. One tap starts a 5-minute session: the lowest possible barrier to begin, perfect for ADHD brains that struggle with task initiation. β€’ Home Screen Widget: See today's pomodoros and streak at a glance, tap to instantly start focusing. β€’ Focus Sounds: Rain, ocean waves, and brown noise built in β€” settle into deep focus without reaching for another app. β€’ Mood, Notes & Achievements: After each session, mark how you felt with a simple emoji and jot down a quick note. Earn gentle achievements as your focus habit grows. Look back later to see what you were working on and when you feel most focused. β€’ Focus History & Insights: See your patterns: when you focus best, common distraction triggers, your streak of consistent days. Data for self-understanding, not self-criticism. β€’ ADHD-Friendly Design: Low-saturation calming colors, optional reduced animations, 3-second countdown, subtle haptics, dark mode, zero flashing elements. Perfect for: - Adults and teens with ADHD or ADD - Students preparing for exams - Remote workers and knowledge workers - Anyone practicing the Pomodoro Technique - People who want kinder productivity tools - Neurodivergent folks (autistic, ADHD, dyslexic) Flowti Pro: Upgrade once, unlock forever: - Custom focus/break durations and presets - Data export (CSV) - Unlimited task categories - All future Pro features included No subscriptions.
