Orbit Zone

Time is invisible until it's gone. A number counting down doesn't register ā but a ring draining from green to red does. Orbit Zone turns your focus session into a circle you can watch empty. No reading the clock. No guessing how long you've been in this. You look, and you know. WHY A RING INSTEAD OF A NUMBER Your timer is a colour-coded progress ring that moves from green through yellow and orange to red as the session runs down. Time stops being an abstract number you have to convert in your head and becomes a shape that is obviously shrinking. That's the whole idea. Everything else is built around it. STARTING IS THE HARD PART ⢠Name the thing you're doing ā one task, on screen, so the tab you opened by accident doesn't win ⢠Recent tasks are one tap away, so restarting takes no decisions ⢠Quick presets for when choosing a duration is itself the obstacle POMODORO, INCLUDED FREE ⢠Classic 25/5 cycles with automatic break prompts ⢠Short and long breaks, with session tracking ā 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 ⢠Skip a break or extend it. The timer doesn't scold you either way ⢠Or ignore all of it and just set a timer. Both are fine SOUND ⢠Forest ambience, free ⢠Six more with Premium: Rain, Ocean, Fireplace, White Noise, Brown Noise, Coffee Shop ⢠Haptic intensity you can turn down, or off entirely WHAT YOU GET FOR FINISHING ⢠Confetti. Every time. It's small and it works ⢠Daily streaks that count sessions, not hours ⢠9 achievements to unlock ⢠Your sessions, total focus time, average length and current streak BUILT TO NOT LOSE YOUR PROGRESS ⢠The timer keeps running when you leave the app or lock your phone ⢠A notification when the session ends ⢠Come back mid-session and it's exactly where it should be FREE The visual ring timer, task labels, recent tasks, quick presets, one saved preset, automatic Pomodoro breaks, Forest ambience, achievements, streaks, and the background timer with completion notifications. PREMIUM Unlimited saved presets, all seven ambient sounds, every timer display mode, and the full stats dashboard with weekly charts and your complete session history. Monthly, annual, or a one-time lifetime unlock ā buy it once and you're done. Orbit Zone is a focus timer designed around how ADHD experiences time. It isn't a medical device and doesn't diagnose or treat anything. It just makes the next 25 minutes something you can see.

Finally, a focus app that gets ADHD. FocusFlow is a calm planner and focus timer built for ADHD brains. No streaks to break and no guilt. Just small steps, a friendly companion, and progress that never resets. MEET FLO Flo is your focus buddy. Start a session and Flo co-works quietly beside you, checks in gently, and keeps the next tiny step in view. It's body doubling, without needing another person in the room. BIG TASKS, MADE SMALL "Clean the apartment" is a wall. "Put on one song you like" is a start. FocusFlow breaks any task into tiny steps with time estimates and shows you exactly where to begin. PICK WHAT MATTERS TODAY Choose up to three things for today. Small and finished beats big and stuck. Not sure where to start? Get a suggestion that fits your energy. GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD Racing thoughts? Type everything into Brain dump, one thought per line. FocusFlow sorts it into urgent, to-dos, ideas for later, and feelings worth acknowledging, then adds the tasks you choose in one tap. STUCK? TALK IT THROUGH Tell Help me start what's in the way, in your own words. You'll get one tiny step you can take in the next two minutes, not a lecture. TIME YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE The focus timer shows a dial that drains as time passes, so time feels real. Adjust it in five-minute steps, and see how long things really take compared with your guess. EVERY WIN COUNTS. STREAKS DON'T. You earn points for showing up and finishing things. Off days cost a little, never everything, and coming back earns a bonus. Watch your tree grow from Seedling to Sprout, Sapling and beyond. GENTLE REMINDERS Reminders tell you what's coming up, with Snooze and Mark done right on the notification. Turn on a daily check-in to pick your focus each morning. Repeat tasks daily, on weekdays, weekly or monthly. ALSO INSIDE ⢠An "I'm overwhelmed" button with a breathing exercise ⢠Ambient sounds: lo-fi, rain, forest, fireplace and ocean ⢠A prep-time calculator so you leave on time ⢠Focus history with planned vs. actual time ⢠Dark mode ⢠No ads and no account needed YOUR DATA Your tasks are stored on your device.
