Time Miner is the guilt-free productivity game that turns focus into progress. Instead of wasting time, every focused minute earns you resources. Your miner gets to work while you do — mining stone, glass, and iron that you use to build and grow your own city. The more you focus, the more your city thrives. No pressure. No streak anxiety. No fake progress. No ads. No interruptions. Just a fun game that rewards real work. ### How it works * Start a focus session * Your miner gathers resources while you stay focused * Use those resources to construct and upgrade buildings * Build a larger, more impressive city over time ### Build something real Every building represents time you actually spent studying or working. As you earn XP, unlock new buildings, larger structures, and a growing city that reflects your progress. ### A game you don't feel guilty playing Time Miner is designed to feel rewarding *without* distracting you. You don't play instead of focusing — you play *because* you focused. ### Why Time Miner? * Fun, game-like progression * Simple focus timer mechanics * Visual progress you can see and feel * Encourages consistency without pressure * Perfect for studying, working, or deep focus sessions Time Miner doesn't ask for more of your time.

Focus Timer Screen Time

Focus Moon turns every focus session into a small mission. Pick a destination, lock the apps that pull you off course, and stay on board until you land. Most timers only say “go.” Focus Moon gives you a ritual: a route, a quiet cabin, a clear horizon, and a Mission Log that proves the work happened. HOW A MISSION WORKS • Pick a destination: Moon Orbit, Mars Transfer, Europa Flyby, Titan Research, or Deep Space Drift. • Choose what you are working on: Deep Work, Study, Code, Read, Write, Design, or a custom mission type. • Engage Focus Shield to lock distracting apps via Screen Time. • Hit launch. The cabin goes quiet, the route appears, and the rocket starts its run. • Stay on course until you land. Your focused time is logged. STAY ON COURSE • Live Activity and Dynamic Island show progress without unlocking the phone. • Ambient soundscapes such as Spaceship Hum, Deep Space, Rain on Station, Solar Wind, and Command Deck set the cabin mood. • Calm haptics mark launch, countdown, and landing. • Cabin Silence works with iOS Focus modes so notifications stay outside. • Landscape Cockpit View turns iPhone into a flight window for long sessions. AFTER THE MISSION • Mission Log records route, duration, focused time, and apps blocked. • Telemetry tracks total focus hours, streaks, destinations discovered, and weekly progress. • Mission Recap is shareable as a clean card. • Polarity Drift adds a short arcade run after each mission to earn extra flight time. MADE FOR FOCUS, NOT NOISE • No ads. No social pressure. No notification spam. • Works fully offline. Your mission data stays on your device. • No account required.
