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. Each second becomes a falling ball you can see and feel. • Pomodoro for deep work. Custom focus & break intervals with full-screen, reliable alarms. WHY TIMEFALL - Reduce anxiety by seeing time flow naturally, not just counting down. - Ideal for visual thinkers and those who find standard timers stressful. - Turn focus into a tangible, satisfying process.

Muki keeps your most distracting apps locked until you've earned the scroll, one step at a time. We all know the feeling: you reach for your phone for a second and resurface twenty minutes later, none the better for it. Muki gently flips that habit on its head. Instead of one more screen-time limit you'll swipe past, it ties the apps you lose hours to directly to how much you've moved today. Set a daily step goal. Pick the apps that eat your hours. Muki blocks them whenever you fall behind the pace you should be walking by now, and unlocks them the moment you catch up. No countdown to battle, no willpower required. Walk a little, and the scroll is yours. HOW IT WORKS - Choose your daily step goal. - Choose which apps to block. - Muki reads your steps from the Health app and unlocks your apps in proportion to your progress through the day. - Behind pace? Your apps are shielded by a friendly (if slightly disappointed) dog. Catch up and they open right back up. WHY IT WORKS Muki turns the urge to scroll into a reason to walk. Instead of fighting a timer, you earn your screen time by living a little more. The pace rises steadily through the day, so there's always a small, doable next step rather than a wall you bounce off at midnight. The further behind you are, the more Muki nudges. Gently, with the face of a dog who just wants a walk. It is not about shame or hard cutoffs. It is about making the healthy choice the easy one, and turning the moment you grab your phone into a quick reason to stand up and move. FEATURES - Time-proportional unlocking: your apps re-lock and re-open automatically as the day goes on. - A morning grace period, so your first coffee isn't held hostage. - A 15-minute override for when you genuinely need an app right now. - A friendly notification when a break is over, so you're never left guessing. - Streaks, a weekly recap, and small celebrations when you hit your goal. - Lock Screen and Dynamic Island countdowns for your current break. - Meet the mascots: Muki the poodle, or switch to Sisi the pomeranian in Settings. WHO IT'S FOR - Anyone who wants to spend less time doomscrolling and more time on their feet. - People who've tried screen-time limits and swiped right past them. - Walkers, steppers, and anyone nudging toward a daily movement habit. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Muki runs entirely on your iPhone. Your step data and the apps you choose never leave your device, and Muki collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-up, and no tracking. Blocking uses Apple's own Screen Time technology to manage your own apps. It is not parental controls, and not device management. HEALTH DATA With your permission, Muki reads your daily step count from the Health app for one purpose only: to measure your progress toward your step goal and unlock your apps accordingly. Muki never writes to the Health app. Your health and step data is never sold, never used for advertising, and never shared with third parties. It stays on your iPhone. Walk a little. Scroll a lot.
