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. 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 — 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.
