Nudge
Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus is hard when life keeps interrupting. Kids, coworkers, phone calls, that thing you just remembered โ it all adds up. Most timer apps punish you for being human. Nudge doesn't. **KEY FEATURES** - Gentle timer that pauses without punishment โ pause whenever life interrupts, resume when you're ready. No dead trees, no failed sessions, no guilt. - Background execution that actually works โ lock your phone, switch apps, put it in your pocket. Your timer keeps running and alerts you when it's time. - Silent vibration mode (Library Safe) โ a custom triple-pulse vibration pattern that works even on mute. Focus in libraries, open offices, and shared spaces without disturbing a soul. - Flexible presets โ Pomodoro, countdown, or open-ended count-up mode. Build timers that match how you actually work, not how a textbook says you should. - Session history with honest stats โ see your real focus time, pause count, and total duration. No inflated numbers, no gamified streaks to stress about. - Smart defaults & day context โ time-of-day greetings, remembered last preset, auto-start breaks. Nudge learns how you work and gets out of the way. **WHY NUDGE?** We built Nudge because every focus timer we tried made us feel worse. Paused? Failed session. Locked your phone? Timer stopped. Need silence? Too bad, here's an alarm. Nudge is different: - No shame for pausing. Life happens. Your timer understands. - ADHD-friendly. Flexible structures instead of rigid 25/5 boxes. Time awareness without time pressure. - Warm, not aggressive. Amber glow instead of red alerts. Encouraging copy instead of streaks and punishments. - One-time purchase. No subscriptions draining your account every month. **WHAT'S INCLUDED FREE** - Classic Pomodoro timer (25/5) - Up to 3 custom presets - Full session history - Silent vibration alerts - Background timer execution - All core features, no ads, no account required **NUDGE PRO โ $6.99 (one-time)** - Unlimited custom presets - Per-timer analytics and breakdowns - Time awareness mode (periodic gentle nudges for time-blindness) - Shortcuts integration - CSV data export - Priority support All your data stays on your device. No account needed. No tracking. Just you and your focus.

Feltime

Most timers give you one alarm at the end. Feltime lets you actually feel time passing. Built for ADHD and time blindness, Feltime fills the screen with a calm, beautiful view of time draining away, plus gentle interval chimes so you sense the minutes without staring at numbers. Three ways to use it: - Focus block: set a duration and watch it drain to zero. - Awareness: a gentle count-up that taps you on the shoulder ("you have been at this 20 minutes") so you never lose the thread. - Ambient: a quiet presence on your desk, no goal, just time made visible. Designed to be calm, never stressful. Muted, cool colors. Slow, smooth motion. No flashing, no guilt, no broken-streak shame. Honors Reduce Motion and gives you brightness control. Pay once. No subscription. No account. Nothing leaves your device. The free app is complete: all three modes, the Drain Ring style, the Tide palette, soft chimes, and preset durations. The one-time unlock ($6.99) adds: - 20 more visual styles (liquid, sand, candle, orbit, analog, and more) - 19 more calm color palettes - Statistics: your focus calendar, streaks (forgiving, never punishing), and trends - Achievement badges - Premium sounds and gentle haptics - Custom durations and intervals - Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and the Home Screen widget Feel time, gently.
