Just savage honesty that keeps you from doom-scrolling your day away. Set your timer. Pick your roast pack. Get to work. ## FEATURES 900+ UNIQUE ROASTS — ALL PACKS FREE • Random — general motivational roasts • Sassy — extra sarcastic, full of attitude • Dark — edgy humor, not for the faint of heart LIVE ACTIVITY The countdown and your current roast sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

If you want results, download this one. ## PRICING FREE • 5 and 10 minute timers • All three roast packs • Unlimited sessions PRO WEEKLY – $0.99/week • 3-day free trial • Cancel anytime PRO YEARLY – $19.99/year • Save 61% vs weekly PRO LIFETIME – $29.99 • One-time payment, never expires • Best value Pro unlocks sessions up to 60 minutes, Pomodoro mode, custom timer lengths, and roasts read aloud.
