iWorkUntil turns the time you have left into something you can actually see ā every minute is a visible block, the grid fills as time passes, and one glance tells you where you stand in the day, the session, or the workday. Built for anyone who'd rather see time than read it. Especially good for ADHD focus sessions, deep-work blocks, study time, and any moment where "how long left?" is the question that matters. No accounts. No ads. No notifications. No streaks to break. No AI nagging. Just time, made visible. WHAT IT DOES ⢠Visual countdown ā your time as a grid of blocks that fills as it passes ⢠Pick a duration (e.g. 25 minutes) or a range (e.g. 9 to 5) ⢠Each block represents a slice of your time ā at a glance, you know where you are ⢠Choose a theme that fits your screen ⢠Lives in the corner ā never in the way WHO IT'S FOR ⢠Anyone who loses track of time when they're focused ⢠Visual thinkers who do better with shapes than with numbers ⢠Pomodoro and deep-work sessions that need a clear stop signal ⢠Workdays, homework, study breaks, screen-time wind-down ⢠Cooking, exercise, meetings, presentations ā anything time-boxed WHAT IT DOESN'T DO ⢠No notifications. No dings. No dopamine traps. ⢠No accounts, no logins, no data collection. ⢠No ads, no subscriptions, no upsells. ⢠No AI, no streaks, no guilt. A visual countdown that shows you time, instead of telling you about it. Available in 11 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Danish, Swedish, Slovenian.

The first ADHD app that comes ready to use - no setup, no configuration, no building from scratch. Every productivity app expects you to design the system yourself. By the time you're done setting up, you've already lost momentum. Second Brain flips that. Open the app and you'll find a library of 20+ real-life tasks - paying bills, refilling prescriptions, scheduling appointments, doing laundry, filing taxes - each broken into small, clear steps you can follow one at a time. DAILY ROUTINES Install a Morning Routine, Evening Wind-Down, or Sunday Reset and get guided through your day one card at a time. Customize them or build your own. CHECK-INS Gentle prompts throughout the day. Feeling off track? Tap into a recovery flow and reset without judgment. HANDS-FREE MODE Tasks are read aloud as you go - perfect for mornings when your phone is across the room. SMART DEFAULTS Recurring tasks regenerate automatically. Tasks surface when they're due - not before. Your most recent task stays at the top. Less clutter, less thinking. No account. No cloud. No subscription. Your data stays on your device. Built for the ADHD brain that wants a second brain - without having to build one.
