Feltime

Most timers give you one alarm at the end. Feltime lets you actually feel time passing. Built for ADHD and time blindness, Feltime fills the screen with a calm, beautiful view of time draining away, plus gentle interval chimes so you sense the minutes without staring at numbers. Three ways to use it: - Focus block: set a duration and watch it drain to zero. - Awareness: a gentle count-up that taps you on the shoulder ("you have been at this 20 minutes") so you never lose the thread. - Ambient: a quiet presence on your desk, no goal, just time made visible. Designed to be calm, never stressful. Muted, cool colors. Slow, smooth motion. No flashing, no guilt, no broken-streak shame. Honors Reduce Motion and gives you brightness control. Pay once. No subscription. No account. Nothing leaves your device. The free app is complete: all three modes, the Drain Ring style, the Tide palette, soft chimes, and preset durations. The one-time unlock ($6.99) adds: - 20 more visual styles (liquid, sand, candle, orbit, analog, and more) - 19 more calm color palettes - Statistics: your focus calendar, streaks (forgiving, never punishing), and trends - Achievement badges - Premium sounds and gentle haptics - Custom durations and intervals - Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and the Home Screen widget Feel time, gently.
