ORBIS is a focus timer that turns deep focus into your own universe. Start a focus session and a new celestial body begins to form. Focus for 20 minutes or more, and that time is born as a planet, a moon, or a rare object from deep space. The longer you focus, the higher your chance of discovering rare bodies. Every body you earn settles into your galaxy and your Codex, each with the real science behind it: from Earth to the black hole at the center of our galaxy and the stars beside it. ORBIS is made for studying, reading, writing, coding, and creative work. Anything that needs deep focus. It isn't just a timer that counts minutes. Your focus stays visible, and it's yours to keep.
