Critter Timer vs Budli

Critter Timer is a cozy focus timer for your Apple Watch, starring hand-illustrated woodland companions that move and work alongside you. Tap to start a focus session, and your chosen critter settles into their tiny world — a rabbit by candlelight in a cozy hut, a fox curled up in an English library, or a cat working at a cottage desk. They study while you study. Then it's break time. Your companion stretches, looks out the window, sips tea, gazes at the stars. The scene shifts to twilight. Two minutes, five minutes, however long you set — and back to focus when you're ready. DESIGNED FOR THE WRIST • Standalone watchOS app — no iPhone needed once installed • Beautiful animated scenes optimized for Apple Watch displays • Digital Crown to adjust focus and break lengths • Simple tap-to-start, tap-to-pause controls • Time-sensitive notifications keep you on schedule, even during Focus mode • Subtle haptics throughout — never jarring THREE COMPANIONS, ONE WORLD • A rabbit in a quill-and-ink study, candle flickering, cozy hut at dusk • A fox in a Victorian library, leather chairs and stacked books • A cat at a cottage writing desk, surrounded by warm lamplight FOCUS SESSIONS • 5 to 60 minutes, in 5-minute increments • Choose your length per session BREAK SESSIONS • 1 to 30 minutes • Different scene tone — softer light, looser poses • A gentle reminder to actually rest BUILT FOR DEEP WORK • Track your daily session count and watch your streak grow • Auto-start option flows you straight from focus into break, and back again — no taps, no friction • Resume gracefully if you switch wrists, get pulled away, or your watch sleeps mid-session • Distinct visual tone for focus vs. break so you always know where you are WHY YET ANOTHER TIMER? Most focus timers feel like productivity software. Critter Timer feels like a window into a small, kind world. Whether you're working, studying, reading, journaling, meditating, or just trying to be present for 25 minutes — your companion is right there, doing their thing alongside you. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. Just you, your watch, and a small woodland friend. Built with care for people who love their Apple Watch and want a focus tool that respects both their attention and their aesthetic.

Meet your Budli - a tiny pet that thrives when you stay off the apps that eat your day. Less doomscrolling, more life. No white-knuckle willpower required. WHY CARE WORKS WHEN GUILT DOESN'T Most blockers say "stop" - but your phone is right there, and one tap later you're back. Budli gives you a reason instead: a little creature that grows on the time you win back. You're not breaking a rule, you're looking after someone. That tiny shift is what makes it stick. HOW IT WORKS - Pick your trap apps - the ones you open without thinking - Stay under your daily limit and your Budli grows, evolves, and cheers you on - Go over and you lose XP - the next evolution stalls until you're back under - Open a trap app anyway and your Budli steps in with a soft "are you sure?" - a pause, not a wall of shame WHAT'S INSIDE - Real app blocking, built on Apple Screen Time - not another reminder you swipe away - One pet, seven forms - it evolves on the hours you win back, and stalls when the scroll wins - Deep Focus sessions for when you need to be unreachable - Honest stats that show where your hours really go - judged by no one - Tiny daily rituals - stretch, sunlight, a mindful break - for you and your pet - Emergency passes, because some days life actually needs your phone MADE FOR DISTRACTIBLE BRAINS If you've ever tapped "15 more minutes" and meant it every single time, Budli was built for you. Gentle structure, visible progress, zero shame - friendly to ADHD brains and anyone whose thumb has a mind of its own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your Screen Time data never leaves your device. No accounts, no tracking, no selling your attention back to you. What would you do with two extra hours a day? Your Budli can't wait to find out. BUDLI PLUS Budli requires a subscription.
