Features
Read full description

Zonein is a minimal focus timer that hides time while you work. No stats. No streaks. No gamification. Just a beautiful timer that gets out of your way. How it works: - Set your focus duration and tap Start - Time disappears — you see only "Focus" and a subtle ambient animation - Tap the amber button to briefly peek at remaining time, then it fades back into fog - When focus ends, a gentle sound and haptic notify you - Rest countdown begins automatically - After rest, you're back to the start — ready for another round Features: - Focus & Rest two-phase timer - Time hidden during focus with fog-reveal effect - Organic aurora animation - Customizable focus (5–120 min) and rest (1–60 min) durations - Sound and haptic feedback - Light and dark mode with warm material palette - Background timer with local notifications - Zero data collection, zero accounts, zero internet Zonein is not a productivity tool. It's a ritual.
