Orbit Zone vs Beside

Time is invisible until it's gone. A number counting down doesn't register — 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 — 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 — 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 • Skip a break or extend it.
