Wick

Some timers just count your minutes. Wick turns focus into a ritual you actually want to return to. Light a candle, name one honest intention, and begin. A little candle burns beside you while you work — put the phone face down, and the flame holds the time for you. When the session ends, you've made something real. MAKE FOCUS A RITUAL Choose Pomodoro, Flowtime, or a plain timer, then step into a warm candle room — no angry red numbers, no pressure. Just you and the next stretch of deep work. GUARD THE HOUR Turn on the Shield and Wick keeps distracting apps behind a gentle wall while you focus — a breath of friction, never a cage. There's always an exit for you. ONE HONEST INTENTION A DAY Skip the endless to-do list. Name what matters, give it your full flame, and let the rest wait its turn. ONLY COUNTS THE FIRE THAT WAS REAL Wick logs the focus you truly gave — nothing padded, nothing faked. Watch small flames add up on your almanac, one focused day at a time, and keep a streak worth keeping. YOURS ALONE No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Everything runs on your device. Wick is free to use. Wick Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription — that unlocks deep-guard mode, candle skins, ambient sounds, and more themes.
