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 โข Build routines from simple steps, each with its own duration โข Four templates ready on first launch: Morning, Get Out the Door, Reset Sprint, and Wind-down โข Reorder, reschedule, and reshape them any time โ everything autosaves TIME YOU CAN SEE โข A liquid timer fills the screen and drains in real time โข Huge, steady numerals that never jump around โข Gentle chimes and soft haptics mark each step change โข Pause, skip, or add two minutes โ skipping is always allowed KEEPS POURING WHEN YOU LOOK AWAY โข Live Activity and Dynamic Island show the current step on your Lock Screen โข Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets start a routine in one tap โข Optional scheduled invitations โ we'll only nudge when you ask us to NO STREAKS, NO SHAME โข History shows the times you showed up โ never the days in between โข Ending early still counts; Pour says so โข No chains, no scores, no guilt โ ever PRIVATE BY DESIGN โข Everything stays on your phone โข No account, no tracking, no analytics POUR PRO (optional) โข Unlimited routines and all four materials โข Chime packs, History insights, and alternate app icons โข 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lucent at none against Pour's 3. Lucent also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
