Some things in life don't fit on a calendar. Your driving license expires in 14 months. The internet contract renews in March. That annual insurance payment is coming up. The passport needs renewal before your trip next year. These aren't meetings. They aren't appointments. They're the quiet deadlines that slip through the cracks — until it's too late. TimeFlow puts your life on a timeline. Every deadline appears as a colored pipe on an infinite scrollable timeline. Pinch to zoom between days, months, and years. See everything at a glance — what's due this week, what's coming in six months, what you handled last year. Why TimeFlow instead of a calendar? Calendars are built for days and weeks. TimeFlow is built for the big picture. Zoom out to see your entire year. Zoom in when a deadline approaches. Your life admin, visualized.

Refocus

Focus is not just about willpower. It can be designed. Refocus is a focus timer created with inspiration from scientific research on attention, breaks, and cognitive load. Today, our minds are constantly exposed to stimulation from smartphones, social media, notifications, videos, and endless streams of short information. When your mind is still filled with that noise, simply starting a traditional focus timer may not be enough to help you switch into a focused state. Refocus begins by preparing the state before focus. First, you take a short break to let your mind cool down and settle. Before the break, you can write down one small thing you want to do afterward. This helps you stop holding the next task in your head while resting, and makes it easier to return to work smoothly when the break ends. Refocus is not just about dividing time. It is about resting, clearing your mind, remembering what comes next, and returning to focus. Main features: ・A focus timer designed with scientific insights in mind ・A unique workflow that starts with a break ・A simple note feature to write down what you will do after the break ・A smooth flow that helps you return to focus after resting ・A simple cycle of focus and break sessions ・Calming animations and a minimal interface Recommended for people who: ・Take time to get into focus ・Feel mentally scattered after using smartphones or social media ・Forget what they were going to do after taking a break ・Want to reset their mind before starting work ・Prefer a simple and calm timer app ・Want to enter focus naturally, without forcing it Rest first. Clear your mind. Leave your next task behind. Then return to focus. Refocus is a timer designed to help create a state where focus can happen more naturally.
