Pour turns your routines into something you can press play on. Pick a routine, tap it, and the whole screen fills with liquid โ€” water, honey, sand, or mercury โ€” that drains as each step elapses. Full means the step just started; empty means it's done. Time you can see, built for time blindness. Pour is designed for ADHD brains. Starting is the hard part, so Pour keeps it to two taps: open the app, tap a routine, and you're pouring. No setup screens in the way, no confirmations, no judgment when plans change. PRESS PLAY ON A ROUTINE โ€ข Build routines from simple steps, each with its own duration โ€ข Four templates ready on first launch: Morning, Get Out the Door, Reset Sprint, and Wind-down โ€ข Reorder, reschedule, and reshape them any time โ€” everything autosaves TIME YOU CAN SEE โ€ข A liquid timer fills the screen and drains in real time โ€ข Huge, steady numerals that never jump around โ€ข Gentle chimes and soft haptics mark each step change โ€ข Pause, skip, or add two minutes โ€” skipping is always allowed KEEPS POURING WHEN YOU LOOK AWAY โ€ข Live Activity and Dynamic Island show the current step on your Lock Screen โ€ข Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets start a routine in one tap โ€ข Optional scheduled invitations โ€” we'll only nudge when you ask us to NO STREAKS, NO SHAME โ€ข History shows the times you showed up โ€” never the days in between โ€ข Ending early still counts; Pour says so โ€ข No chains, no scores, no guilt โ€” ever PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข Everything stays on your phone โ€ข No account, no tracking, no analytics POUR PRO (optional) โ€ข Unlimited routines and all four materials โ€ข Chime packs, History insights, and alternate app icons โ€ข Monthly, yearly (with a 14-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” Family Sharing included on lifetime Pour is a visual timer and routine player. It makes time visible and routines easier to start โ€” nothing more, nothing less.
