Campfire is a simple 30-minute focus timer. It is intentionally designed to keep you present. The session continues while your phone is locked, but ends if you leave the app. Tap to light a campfire. Stay with the app or lock your screen. You'll hear a bell when the fire goes out and the session ends. We don’t track you. That’s our Privacy Policy in a nutshell. - No ads - No accounts - No tracking - No data collected - No third-party analytics - Data stays on device If Campfire feels useful, you can choose to support its continued development. If not, that’s perfectly okay too. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
