Read full descriptionHide full description
iWorkUntil turns the time you have left into something you can actually see β 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 β’ Visual countdown β your time as a grid of blocks that fills as it passes β’ Pick a duration (e.g. 25 minutes) or a range (e.g. 9 to 5) β’ Each block represents a slice of your time β at a glance, you know where you are β’ Choose a theme that fits your screen β’ Lives in the corner β never in the way WHO IT'S FOR β’ Anyone who loses track of time when they're focused β’ Visual thinkers who do better with shapes than with numbers β’ Pomodoro and deep-work sessions that need a clear stop signal β’ Workdays, homework, study breaks, screen-time wind-down β’ Cooking, exercise, meetings, presentations β anything time-boxed WHAT IT DOESN'T DO β’ No notifications. No dings. No dopamine traps. β’ No accounts, no logins, no data collection. β’ No ads, no subscriptions, no upsells. β’ 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.

Starting is the hardest part. So Anchor makes the start smaller. Anchor is a daily routine and focus companion built for ADHD brains. It is not another to-do list. There is no growing backlog, no red overdue count, and no broken streak waiting to make you feel bad. You see one thing, feel time passing, and take the next small move. BUILD ROUTINES YOU CAN ACTUALLY START Choose a ready-made morning, evening, out-the-door, or desk-reset routineβor create your own. Each routine plays one step at a time, with a large visual countdown that makes time easier to feel. JUST ONE THING Type one thing. Pick 5, 10, 15, or 25 minutes. Start. There is no list behind it and nothing to organize first. FOCUS WITH A QUIET BODY-DOUBLE Use a 15, 25, 45, or 90-minute visual focus session. Add an optional break and settle in with rain, coffee-shop ambience, or brown noise. LEAVE ON TIME WITH ANCHOR ALARMS Tell Anchor when an event starts and how long travel takes. Get gentle βleave in 10,β βleave in 5,β and βleave NOWβ cues before it is time to go. STREAKS THAT WAIT FOR YOU Missing a day puts a streak on hold. It never wipes your progress. Return when you can and pick up where you left off. STAY ANCHORED OUTSIDE THE APP Widgets show your next routine, active-day momentum, or next alarm. Live Activities keep the current step and visual timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
