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 donβt track you. Thatβs 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, thatβs perfectly okay too. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Campfire OS
Read full descriptionHide full description
Campfire OS β A sanctuary for deep work. Turn focus into a fire you tend. Start a session, set your phone face-down, and your campfire climbs higher and brighter with every minute of deep work. Pick your phone up mid-session and a storm rolls in β flip it back face-down within 20 seconds to save the camp. It's focus you can feel: a calm, beautiful ritual that rewards you for staying off the screen, instead of nagging you when you don't. THE RITUAL β’ Set your focus time and tap Start. β’ Place your phone face-down β the fire only grows while the screen rests. β’ Stay the course, and your streak climbs, night after night. SHIELD DISTRACTIONS Choose the apps and categories that break your focus, and Campfire shields them for the length of your session using Apple's Screen Time. No willpower required β the distractions simply aren't there. FIVE SIGNATURE ATMOSPHERES Set the mood for deep work with hand-crafted scenes, each with its own immersive ambience: β’ Alps β a clear night above the treeline β’ Cyberpunk β neon haze over a rooftop brazier β’ Rainforest β a warm hearth in the fog β’ Arctic β aurora drifting over blue snow β’ Desert β a canyon of stars over red rock BUILD A STREAK WORTH PROTECTING Every camp you keep builds a streak, with your sessions and stats stored privately on your device β and synced across your devices with iCloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No advertising. Nothing to track. Motion and Screen Time data are processed only on your device, and your data never leaves your phone unless you turn on iCloud sync. Tend the fire. Guard your focus. The deep work is yours to keep. Terms of Use: https://vivaapps.co/campfire-os-app/terms Privacy Policy: https://vivaapps.co/campfire-os-app/privacy
