You're not broken. You just lose track of time. TimeAware is the gentle time awareness app built for brains that experience time blindness — a core struggle for adults with ADHD and anyone who chronically loses hours without noticing. Instead of dozens of annoying alarms, TimeAware gives you pleasant hourly "time anchors" — soft chimes or voice announcements that gently remind you what time it is, keeping you grounded in the present moment. HOW IT WORKS Every hour (or at your custom interval), TimeAware plays a gentle chime or speaks the time aloud. That's it. Simple, consistent, life-changing. Choose between: - Chimes — 12 beautiful sound effects from Gentle Bell to Tibetan Bowl - Voice Announcements — 12 distinct voices from Calm to ASMR whisper - Haptic Only — silent vibrations, perfect for meetings and classrooms DESIGNED FOR ADHD BRAINS TimeAware isn't another productivity app pretending to understand you. It was built specifically for time blindness: - Low cognitive load — one clear purpose, no feature bloat - Shame-free design — no streaks that punish you, no guilt trips - Warm, dopamine-friendly interface — amber tones, smooth animations, sensory delight - Analog, Digital & Minimal clock faces with a visual time-remaining arc SMART FEATURES - Calendar Sync — automatically pauses chimes during your meetings (Pro) - Quiet Hours — set different schedules for weekdays and weekends - Custom Schedule — toggle individual hours on or off - Focus Mode Aware — silences when your phone's Focus mode is active - Apple Watch — feel time on your wrist with haptic taps (Pro) - Lock Screen Live Activity — always-visible countdown to your next chime - Home Screen Widget — see your next chime at a glance, pause/resume instantly MAKE IT YOURS 6 beautiful themes: Dawn, Midnight, Forest, Lavender, Sunset, Ocean 3 clock styles: Analog, Digital, Minimal — all with smooth animated seconds 24 sound options across chimes and voice announcements TIMEAWARE PRO Free users get 2 voices, 2 chimes, and 2 themes — everything you need to start.

Millions of adults experience time blindness — hours pass unnoticed, deadlines get missed, daily life becomes a source of frustration. Existing solutions (setting dozens of alarms, generic clock apps) are either too annoying, too easy to dismiss, or not designed for how ADHD brains actually work. TimeAware does one thing extraordinarily well: it anchors you in time, gently and consistently, so you can focus on living. Your brain deserves better tools. --- Questions or feedback?
