Deep Focus Timer vs Lapsed

Calibrate is a deep focus timer with a simple idea: empty your head first, then sit with one thing. Start with a brain dump — everything on your mind becomes a simple, organized to-do list. Swipe one line to begin a focus session. While you sit, Calibrate checks in quietly on your Lock Screen: still present, or did something pull you away? You answer in one tap. That's the whole mechanic. If you've outgrown the rigid 25/5 of pomodoro, this is what comes after: sessions that fit you, gentle check-ins instead of alarms, and an honest record instead of a score. Over time, the answers become something rare: an honest record of your attention. Not a score. Not a streak. A quiet mirror. WHAT'S INSIDE • Deep focus sessions — open-ended, with gentle check-ins at your rhythm • Live Activity on the Lock Screen — your sitting stays present without unlocking your phone • Brain dump to to-dos — capture fast, sort into spaces later • The done list — finished things stay visible; your day ends with evidence, not guilt • Keeping track — "when did I last change the filter?" Cross a to-do off, keep track of it, and the date is always there • Weekly recap — your week, mirrored back in one calm card, with one line you carry into the next • No streaks, no shame, no red badges — Calibrate helps you notice; it never judges WHO IT'S FOR People who've tried blockers and streak apps and want something gentler. Students in long study sessions. Anyone whose attention wanders — ADHD brains welcome; the app never punishes a wandered mind, it just asks kindly. Free for 14 days, everything open — no card needed. After that, your to-dos, journal, and history stay free forever. Calibrate Plus (focus sessions, habit intelligence, new weekly recaps) is a monthly or yearly subscription (prices shown in the App Store).

How long has it been since you called Mom? Went to the gym? Watered the plants? Lapsed turns "how long since…?" into something you can see. Items float across a visual canvas — drifting further from today the longer you wait. One tap logs it done, and it springs right back. No spreadsheets. No checklists. Just a calm, colourful way to stay on top of what matters.
