ADHD? DISTRACTIONS? JUST LAZY? It doesn't matter. Stop making excuses. You know the drill: You sit down to study, and 5 minutes later, you’re scrolling social media. Your willpower is weak. You need consequences. Hush or Blush is the high-stakes focus timer that doesn't ask you nicely. It forces you to LOCK IN. KILL YOUR PROCRASTINATION This is the ultimate tool for students, ADHD brains, and anyone who needs a kick in the pants to get work done. • LOCK IN: Set your time. • ACTIVATE: Hit the button. Your phone is now a "Live Grenade." • DON'T MOVE: Lock the screen and back off. Don't try anything else or... BOOM! Public shame. • SURVIVE: Complete the session to save your dignity. DO YOU DARE TO USE THIS IN A LIBRARY? If you try to leave the app, unlock your phone, or try to cheat during a session, the app instantly punishes you with a loud, embarrassing sound of your choice. The Challenge: Can you sit in a quiet room for 45 minutes without triggering the alarm and having everyone stare at you? FEATURES - The "Shame" Engine Once a study session starts, your phone is a minefield. Don't even think about picking it up until the session ends, or you will be punished with an embarrassment of your choice—Sirens, Screams, and more. - The Mystery Crate (Rewards) You want dopamine? Earn it. Watch ads to open Mystery Crates. Unlock unique alarms or find rare "Silence Passes" to save yourself in an emergency. - Emergency Exit Strategy Real life happens. Store Silence Passes (Max 5) to exit a session silently without triggering the alarm. Hoard them—you will need them. - Call Immunity Protocol The app is tough, but fair. If you receive an incoming phone call, the system pauses automatically. No accidental shaming for answering a real emergency. WHO IS THIS FOR? • Chronic Procrastinators: If you can't put the phone down, we'll make you afraid to pick it up. • Library Warriors: Use the fear of social embarrassment to fuel your focus. • Deep Work: Eliminate the subconscious urge to "just check one notification." QUIT SLACKING. START FOCUSING. Download Hush or Blush now. Silence or Siren. Your call.

About

UNTIL Timer

Read full description

UNTIL Timer is a simple way to manage your focus with a finish time. Instead of setting “30 minutes” or “60 minutes,” choose the clock time you want to reach. UNTIL turns that time into a small, visible deadline and shows you exactly how much time is left. A FINISH TIME FOR BETTER FOCUS When a task has no clear edge, attention can drift. UNTIL gives what you are doing now a finish line. Not a complicated schedule. Not another productivity system. Just a clear “until.” SET A TIME. FOCUS ON NOW. Use UNTIL for: • Finishing a focused work session • Getting ready to leave • Study and homework • Creative work • Chores and household routines • Breaks and transitions • Any task that needs a clear finish line SMALL DEADLINES, THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY The real deadline may be tomorrow, next week, or months away. UNTIL lets you create smaller deadlines inside today. “I’ll work on this until 10:30.” “I’ll get ready until 8:15.” “I’ll finish this part by 3:00.” A small finish line can make it easier to give your attention to what matters now. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Set an end time instead of calculating a duration • See remaining time at a glance • Get an alarm or notification when time is up • Keep the countdown visible when you want it • Save timers you use again UNTIL PRO Get more from every countdown with UNTIL PRO. Save, organize, repeat, and personalize the small deadlines that shape your day. UNTIL isn’t about managing every minute. It’s about managing your focus. Pick a time. See what’s left. Focus on now. Give your focus a finish line. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
