MASTER YOUR TIME VISUALLY Time management is deeply personal, and SliceFocus offers a distinct, visual approach to organizing your day. By mapping your schedule onto a 24-hour circular timeline, you gain an immediate understanding of how your hours are distributed. Drag and drop time blocks directly onto the clock face to build a daily plan that makes sense for your lifestyle, no matter what your day entails. Seeing the whole day at a glance makes time tangible, a visual approach many people with ADHD find helpful. YOUR CALENDAR, IN THE SAME CIRCLE SliceFocus works with Apple Calendar. Your calendar events appear on the day view next to your slices, and you can export your planned slices into a calendar you choose. Move or delete an exported event in Calendar and SliceFocus follows. Add a native reminder before a slice starts so nothing slips past. BUILT-IN FOCUS TIMERS Execution requires concentration. SliceFocus integrates a fully featured Pomodoro timer into your daily blocks to help you maintain momentum. You have total control over your workflow: customize your work durations, short breaks, long breaks, and set exactly how many cycles you want to complete before an extended rest. Engage the built-in ambient soundscapes, featuring white, brown, and pink noise, to minimize background distractions and maintain deep focus. FOCUS SHIELD: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS AND WEBSITES Pick the apps and websites that pull you away, and SliceFocus blocks them during the work phases of your focus sessions. On iPhone you choose them with Screen Time, and the shield lifts at the planned end of the session even if the app is closed. On Mac, a session started on any of your devices shields the Mac too: a Safari extension blocks the websites on your list, and switching to a blocked app brings up a shield window. Breaks stay free. TRACK YOUR ACTUAL PROGRESS Understanding your habits is the key to improving them. SliceFocus captures your session history and generates detailed analytics, comparing your planned schedule against the actual time spent. Review your daily, weekly, and monthly trends to make informed, data-driven adjustments to your routine. KEY FEATURES • Circular 24-Hour Timeline: Visualize your tasks as color-coded arcs on a continuous clock face. • Drag-and-Drop Scheduling: Create and adjust time blocks with intuitive touch controls. • Apple Calendar & Reminders: See your events on the day view, export slices, and get reminders before they start. • Highly Customizable Timers: Set exact durations for work, short breaks, long breaks, and cycle intervals. • Focus Shield: Block the apps and websites you choose during work phases, on iPhone and Mac. • Focus Soundscapes: Integrated white, brown, and pink noise for immediate concentration. • Reality Check Analytics: Detailed reports comparing your actual execution against your planned day. • Trend Dashboards: Track your session history across daily, weekly, and monthly views. • Live Activities & Widgets: Monitor your active timer directly from your iOS lock screen. • macOS Menu Bar Timer: Keep your focus visible when working on your Mac. • Smart Phase Notifications: Timely push alerts for transitioning between work and breaks. • One Timer Across Devices: Start on iPhone, see the same session on your Mac, with auto-advance between work and break. • Frictionless Login: Quick, secure access using Apple or Google Sign-In. • Adaptive Interface: Fully optimised Light and Dark themes.

About

Orbit · ADHD Routine Builder

Read full description

Orbit is a routine app for ADHD brains — the ones that know exactly what to do and still can't start. Instead of a checklist staring back at you, Orbit gives you an orb: a calm, glowing companion that takes over the moment you tap start. It counts down each step, breathes with you, and quietly celebrates when you finish. No red badges. No guilt. No 47-step setup. WHY IT WORKS WHEN OTHER APPS DON'T • One step at a time — you never see the whole mountain, only the thing you're doing right now • Streak freezes — every 5 days on your streak earns a freeze that covers a missed day. Your progress survives bad days • Start in one tap — or just ask Siri. Move to the next step right from your Lock Screen • Timers that learn — Orbit adapts step durations to how long things actually take you BUILD A ROUTINE IN A MINUTE Start from 25 ready-made routines — morning sunlight, deep work, home reset, home workout, evening wind-down, digital detox and more — then tweak them, or build your own from scratch. Steps can be timed, counted, or simply ticked off. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Steps save to Apple Health by themselves, guessed from their names: a strength workout, mindful minutes, how you feel, brushing your teeth, a glass of water. Link steps into one workout or switch any step off. Orbit asks first and never reads your Health data. THE ORB FOLLOWS YOU Start a routine and it appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, counting down each step in real time. Glance, tap to the next step, get back to it. Notifications tell you when a step ends — without pulling you back into your phone. Your Home Screen widget shows what's up next. STREAKS WITHOUT SHAME Streaks, levels and freezes reward showing up, not perfection. Missed days are visible but never punished — because the days you almost didn't open the app are the ones that count. FRIENDS, OPT-IN ONLY Share an invite link or QR code with one friend or ten and see each other's streaks on a private leaderboard. No followers, no algorithm, no strangers. Nothing is shared until you turn it on, and you can turn it off again at any time. MADE TO LOOK CALM Three orb styles plus twelve drawn orbs to earn, 28 colour palettes that shift with the time of day, pure-black backgrounds and soft motion. Full support for Reduce Motion. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything lives on your iPhone. Sync runs through your own private iCloud — we can't read it. Export or delete everything whenever you want. No ads. No trackers. Anonymous usage statistics help us improve Orbit — switch them off anytime in Profile → Data. ORBIT PRO Orbit Pro unlocks the whole app: unlimited routines, every template, all orb styles and palettes, Live Activities, widgets and the friend leaderboard. • Weekly — $2.99 per week, with a 3-day free trial • Yearly — $39.95 per year, with a 1-week free trial • Lifetime — $69.99 once, no subscription Prices are shown in your local currency before you buy.
