STOP PROCRASTINATING. START WORKING. Procrastination Insult Timer is the only productivity timer that bullies you into focus. Every 20 seconds, you get roasted — hard. No fluff. No mercy. 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. Close the app. Lock your phone. You still can't escape. POMODORO MODE 25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break. Classic — but meaner. Get roasted through both. CUSTOM TIMERS 1–60 minutes. Choose your preferred pain level. THE RECORD Every session you finish, every insult you take, and the roasts you thought were worth keeping. DAILY REMINDERS Get a nudge (or slap) to stop procrastinating. ## WHY IT WORKS Most productivity apps are too nice. They whisper. They let you quit. This one doesn't. It's designed to keep you uncomfortable enough to stay focused. Every roast is a reality check — funny, sharp, and a little too true. You can skip, pause, or quit — but the app will call you out for it. The only way out… is through. No streaks. No guilt for missing a day. Just the work, and someone rude enough to keep you at it. ## FOR ANYONE WITH DARK HUMOR If you thrive on sarcasm, memes, and chaos — this is your accountability buddy. If you want kindness, try a meditation app instead. 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.

"I know exactly what to do. I just can't start." That gap - between knowing and starting - is where task paralysis lives. Planners organize the day. Timers count it down. Neither one closes the gap. Startline was built for that exact moment, and for the way ADHD brains actually work. It has one job: get a person from frozen to a running focus session on ONE thing, with a two-minute first step, in under a minute. Dump the noise in your head. Pick one thing. Get a tiny, physical first step. Start. Any start counts as a win. TIME YOU CAN FEEL A solid block of time shrinks on the screen and on the Dynamic Island, so a session stops being an abstract number and becomes something you can watch. Over weeks, Startline learns your real time multipliers per kind of task - the emails guessed at ten minutes that always take twenty-four - and shows them back to you, kindly. SURVIVE INTERRUPTIONS Pulled away mid-task? One tap leaves a breadcrumb. When you come back, Startline walks you to the exact step you were on, then counts you in, 3-2-1. NO SHAME, EVER No overdue piles. No streaks to break. No red badges. A Momentum meter grows with any start and fades gently - it never resets to zero. Designed for ADHD brains. Startline is a productivity tool, not medical advice or treatment. FREE, FOREVER Unlimited brain dumps and focus sessions, Pick One, 10 ramps, one breadcrumb at a time, 14 days of time calibration, and Momentum. The whole core loop works offline on day one. STARTLINE PLUS - All 50 ramps plus custom ramps you save yourself (the free tier has 10). - Your full time-calibration history and personal multipliers (free keeps 14 days). - Unlimited breadcrumbs across every task (free keeps one at a time). - Procedural brown, pink, and white noise plus rain, generated on device. - Widgets, the Action Button, and Start my One Thing. - Optional gentle time pings during a session. - A near-monochrome, motion-free theme. - Search your Someday drawer. Plus is one purchase: Lifetime 34.99 USD (pay once, own it), Annual 12.99 USD with a 14-day free trial, or Monthly 2.99 USD. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Startline works fully offline and is designed exclusively for iPhone. Your records live on your iPhone. No account, no ads. Privacy Policy: https://app-legal-pages.vercel.app/startline/privacy Terms of Service: https://app-legal-pages.vercel.app/startline/terms
