About

TimeTurtle

TimeTurtle is an ADHD task timer and visual day planner. Every task shows real clock times, and time's up rings even on silent. Free, with no account, no ads, and no streaks. Made for time blindness, by someone with ADHD, for ADHD and other neurodivergent brains. List what you want to do, give each task a few minutes, and tap play. Tochi, a little turtle, walks with you while your time runs down. TimeTurtle keeps track of time, so you don't have to. RINGS EVEN ON SILENT With alarms allowed, TimeTurtle rings when time's up, even on silent or in a Focus. Tap Done when you're finished, or Stop to quiet it. If you're still in the zone, it checks in again every 5 minutes until you're ready. TOCHI WALKS WITH YOU Tochi walks along a calm shoreline while your time runs down, the sand drifting past, and when time's up Tochi walks up onto a rock and sits to wait. A bar empties as time passes, so you can see your time at a glance. Every task you time for 2 minutes or more earns pebbles, one for every 5 minutes on the timer, up to 12. Pebbles level Tochi up through twelve ranks with new shell colors, and levels never go down. Pick easy, medium, or hard for how fast Tochi levels up, and chase a new best day. Timed tasks add to Tochi's long walk too: the next place grows closer on your horizon, with new places to reach as you go, each with a friend to meet and something to discover. Earning pebbles, reaching a new place or level, or setting a record gets a big, loud celebration. NO ACCOUNT. NO STREAKS. NOTHING PILES UP. There's nothing to sign up for, no streaks to keep, and no red badges. At zero, TimeTurtle waits and counts up. It never jumps ahead or makes you feel bad, and nothing moves without you. A VISUAL DAY PLANNER "15 minutes" is abstract. "until 4:06" is real. Every task shows its clock times, and your whole list shows when you'll be all done. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN, AND WRIST Your timer lives on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and on your Apple Watch. Tap Done, +5 min, or Pause without opening the app, from the Lock Screen, a Control Center control, or the Action Button. Add TimeTurtle to your watch face to see your task and its time all day. TAKE A BREAK WITH TOCHI Tochi's 5, 10, or 15 minute breaks rest your eyes, guide your breathing, and show gentle desk stretches, then bring you back to your task. Breaks earn pebbles too. BUILT FOR REAL DAYS - Type "Laundry 15" and you have a 15-minute task. - Swipe right to save a task for Later. Swipe left to delete, with undo. - Save tasks you repeat, like a morning routine, and load them all onto Today at once.

Let TimeTurtle pick for you. - Recap shows planned vs. spent time, without judgment. EASY ON THE EYES Calm colors in light and dark (or pick one), support for large text, and gentle motion that respects Reduce Motion.
