About

Campfire

Read full description

Campfire is a simple 30-minute focus timer. It is intentionally designed to keep you present. The session continues while your phone is locked, but ends if you leave the app. Tap to light a campfire. Stay with the app or lock your screen. You'll hear a bell when the fire goes out and the session ends. We don’t track you. That’s our Privacy Policy in a nutshell. - No ads - No accounts - No tracking - No data collected - No third-party analytics - Data stays on device If Campfire feels useful, you can choose to support its continued development. If not, that’s perfectly okay too. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

NoTap is the simplest focus timer you'll ever use. Put your phone down, and your focus session starts automatically. Pick it up, and it pauses. That's it. No buttons to press, no modes to select, no complicated setup. YOUR PHONE KNOWS WHEN YOU'RE FOCUSED Most focus apps require you to manually start timers, set durations, or lock yourself out of your phone. NoTap flips the script β€” it detects when you stop touching your screen and begins tracking your focus time instantly. Touch your phone, and the session pauses. Walk away, lock your screen, or just set it face down β€” NoTap keeps counting in the background. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Put your phone down β€” a beautiful breathing animation begins as your focus session starts automatically after a few seconds of inactivity β€’ Touch your screen β€” the session pauses instantly β€’ Leave it alone again β€” the session resumes seamlessly β€’ Lock your phone or switch apps β€” your session continues in the background BEAUTIFUL FOCUS DASHBOARD Track your progress with a stunning dark-themed dashboard featuring glassmorphism cards and smooth animations: β€’ Total focus time across all sessions β€’ Session count and averages β€’ Longest focus session record β€’ Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics β€’ Visual bar charts showing focus time distribution β€’ GitHub-style heatmap calendar showing your consistency over time EARN MILESTONE BADGES Stay motivated with meaningful achievements: β€’ Earn badges for your first focus hour, completing 10 sessions, maintaining a 7-day streak, and much more β€’ Unlocked badges glow with a satisfying animation β€’ Track your progress toward the next milestone FLEXIBLE STREAKS THAT WORK FOR YOU Unlike rigid streak systems that punish you for missing a single day, NoTap uses flexible streaks based on your active focus days. Focus when it works for you, not when an app demands it.
