Off by default; countdown mode only. DISTRACTION-FREE PROGRESS BAR Swipe with two fingers to flip to a minimal progress bar — track time left without digits competing for your attention. Swipe back anytime for the numbers. SILKY-SMOOTH GESTURES Swipe left for brightness. Swipe right for volume. Swipe horizontally to change ambient sound. Gesture-first design keeps the running screen clean and effortless. AMBIENT SOUNDS Built-in ambient sounds for study, deep work, and calm focus.

Pick up your phone mid-session and the app helps you put it back down. FOCUS STATISTICS See how much you actually focused.
