Timefall vs Star Focus

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.
