Numbers cause anxiety. Watching a clock count down kills your flow. Timefall transforms your focus sessions into a calming, kinetic experience. Feel time physically through falling spheres driven by a real physics engine. THE SCIENCE OF VISUAL FOCUS According to Attention Restoration Theory (ART), observing gentle, predictable motion—like flowing water or falling sand—triggers "Soft Fascination." Timefall’s physics engine mimics this natural phenomenon. By replacing stressful ticking numbers with smooth kinetic physics, your brain avoids the anxiety of a countdown and maintains a state of deep work longer. DEEP APPLE ECOSYSTEM INTEGRATION • Dynamic Island & Live Activities: Your focus progress is always visible without unlocking your phone. • Apple Health Sync: Automatically log your sessions as "Mindful Minutes" to close your daily rings. • Hybrid AlarmKit System: Enterprise-grade reliability. Your break alarm will ring exactly on time, every time. BUILT FOR ADHD & VISUAL THINKERS • Cures "Time Blindness" by making time a physical volume you can see. • Eliminates the stress of standard rigid timers. • Tangible progress feedback keeps the dopamine flowing. • Visual timer with real physics.

TIME BLINDNESS ENDS HERE If you have ADHD, you already know: time doesn't feel real. Minutes vanish, deadlines sneak up, and "just 5 more minutes" becomes an hour. TimeSee makes time something you can see - so your attention can stay on your life, not on the clock. FIVE WAYS TO SEE TIME A ring that shrinks. A filling circle. A slim bar. A clock face where the time you have spent stays visible in a lighter shade. And Wall Clock, where the hands show the actual time. Pick the one your eyes read fastest. WALL CLOCK (NEW) Your session, drawn on a real clock face. The hands show the actual time, so the end of your session is a place on the clock - not a number counting down. The finish time is always written underneath: "until 4:30". Drag the end of the band to the minute you want to finish, or type the minutes as usual. Pause, and your finish time moves with you - honestly. A LIBRARY OF YOUR OWN Build a session once and keep it. Its length, its marks, its finish message, its colours, its sounds - saved together under a name you will recognise. A 55-minute call and a 5-minute reset sit side by side, each remembering everything. PROGRESS MARKS Mark the parts of your session - say, 8 and 16 minutes of a 30-minute call. Up to 8 marks, shown on the dial before you start, so you can see the whole plan while you set it. Passed marks quietly fade. No sounds, no pop-ups. Guidance, not judgement. A MESSAGE FOR YOUR FUTURE SELF Write a note before you start - "book the next appointment", "drink some water" - and it will be waiting when the timer ends. Not a celebration: a handover, from the you who planned to the you who has just finished. AN ENDING, NOT AN ALARM Instead of one alarm you have to kill, the finish sound comes back gently until you are ready. Snooze it - 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes, your choice - or silence it; either can be undone with the same tap. Time being up should not feel like being told off. OVERTIME MODE When time's up, TimeSee keeps counting, so you can see how long your task actually took. Red is an option, never a rule. FEEL TIME PASSING An optional gentle tap as the timer passes each of your marks - five strengths, from a light touch to a long steady pulse you can feel with the phone on a stand. A quiet tap on the shoulder, without breaking your focus. CALM BY DEFAULT TimeSee opens with the essentials and nothing else. One switch at the top - "Show all settings" - reveals every option when you are ready. Nothing is removed; it waits until you ask. MADE FOR DIFFERENT BRAINS AND DIFFERENT SENSES 15 colour themes plus any custom colour, 11 colours for the digits, and 5 fonts including Atkinson Hyperlegible and Lexend. Adjust letter spacing, ring thickness, mark sizes and text size. Or turn the numbers off entirely and keep only the shape, if counting down is the part that stresses you. 15 COMPLETION SOUNDS From a Japanese wind chime to a singing bowl or a retro beep. Or turn sound off for silent meetings - the ending still arrives as a gentle vibration. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Your timer syncs to your wrist, following the colours, style and marks you chose on your iPhone. SMALL THINGS THAT HELP Keep the screen awake while the timer runs. Question marks beside the settings whose names do not explain themselves. A live preview you can tap to see the finish screen. Confetti when you finish - unless Reduce Motion is on, in which case it stays quiet. BUILT WITH ITS USERS The Clock style, Wall Clock, Progress Marks, the Library, the finish message and the gentler ending all began as user reviews and emails. The app is still growing, and you can help shape it: support@defrust.com PRIVACY FIRST Zero data collection. Zero tracking. No account. Everything stays on your device.
