Pour turns your routines into something you can press play on. Pick a routine, tap it, and the whole screen fills with liquid β water, honey, sand, or mercury β that drains as each step elapses. Full means the step just started; empty means it's done. Time you can see, built for time blindness. Pour is designed for ADHD brains. Starting is the hard part, so Pour keeps it to two taps: open the app, tap a routine, and you're pouring. No setup screens in the way, no confirmations, no judgment when plans change. PRESS PLAY ON A ROUTINE β’ Build routines from simple steps, each with its own duration β’ Four templates ready on first launch: Morning, Get Out the Door, Reset Sprint, and Wind-down β’ Reorder, reschedule, and reshape them any time β everything autosaves TIME YOU CAN SEE β’ A liquid timer fills the screen and drains in real time β’ Huge, steady numerals that never jump around β’ Gentle chimes and soft haptics mark each step change β’ Pause, skip, or add two minutes β skipping is always allowed KEEPS POURING WHEN YOU LOOK AWAY β’ Live Activity and Dynamic Island show the current step on your Lock Screen β’ Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets start a routine in one tap β’ Optional scheduled invitations β we'll only nudge when you ask us to NO STREAKS, NO SHAME β’ History shows the times you showed up β never the days in between β’ Ending early still counts; Pour says so β’ No chains, no scores, no guilt β ever PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ Everything stays on your phone β’ No account, no tracking, no analytics POUR PRO (optional) β’ Unlimited routines and all four materials β’ Chime packs, History insights, and alternate app icons β’ Monthly, yearly (with a 14-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase β Family Sharing included on lifetime Pour is a visual timer and routine player.
