Anchor vs ADHD Timer

Anchor is a calm, local-first companion designed for ADHD brains. It helps you start small, reduce overwhelm, and keep momentum through the day. Set 1-3 Daily Wins, start quick focus timers, and build routines without guilt-heavy streak pressure. Use Focus Cycle sessions (work + rest), save timer presets, and track progress from Live Activities on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (on supported devices). Track habits, create reminders with repeats and local notifications, and play calming soundscapes (ambient, nature, and noise) with a sleep timer. Feeling stuck? Use Decide for Me to pick from your saved options in one tap. Customize your home dashboard with widgets for timers, habits, reminders, soundscapes, and more. No account required. No cloud sync. No tracking beyond your device. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase after the 7 day trial.

You don't have a motivation problem. You have a time problem — you genuinely can't feel it passing, so a "quick" task eats the afternoon and you never see it coming. This app works on that from both ends: making time visible while it passes, and showing you how badly you misjudge it. WATCH TIME PASS The whole screen is the timer. It shifts from calm green to amber to urgent red as your deadline approaches, so you always know where you stand without reading a number. Vibration pulses intensify in the final stretch. No tiny digits, no abstract progress ring — just color you can read from across the room. FIND OUT HOW LONG THINGS REALLY TAKE Switch to Task mode, name what you're doing, and guess the time. When your estimate runs out the timer doesn't quietly stop — it asks whether you actually finished. If you didn't, it keeps counting, and the real duration is what gets recorded. Not the one you hoped for. YOUR PLANNING MULTIPLIER After five tracked tasks, a single number tells you how far off your estimates are. 1.7x means a task you think is 30 minutes usually runs 52. It's broken down task by task, so you learn which work always overruns and which you actually judge well. KNOW BEFORE YOU START Set 25 minutes on something you've done before and the app tells you what it will really take. Plan against your own history instead of your optimism. SCHEDULE IT, AND ACTUALLY ARRIVE Put a task on a day and time with your own estimate, and the app reminds you 25 minutes before, 5 minutes before, and when it's time to start. The reminders don't just say "soon" — they tell you what that task really runs to, so "in 25 minutes" becomes an amount of time you can feel. Tap one and the timer is set up and waiting. Miss one and nothing nags you.
