A timer that talks you through time. Built for the brains that lose track of it. For brains that lose time, a countdown that speaks so you do not have to look. Most timers are silent rectangles. For an ADHD brain that experiences time-blindness, that is the same as not having a timer at all. Time Blind Timer talks to you. It speaks check-ins at the pace you choose, in your own iPhone voice, while the screen stays dark and the world keeps going. Why people stay: - Audio first. Every cue is spoken aloud, not a tiny number on a screen you have to unlock. - Locked screen friendly. Confirmed background-audio behavior. Designed to work while you are doing literally anything else. - Your voice. Pick any iOS voice (Samantha, Daniel, Karen, Moira, and the high-quality Enhanced voices) with rate and pitch tuned per persona. - Your cadence. Adjustable announcement frequency from every 30 seconds to every 15 minutes, plus a Natural countdown that mirrors how humans warn each other (10m, 5m, 2m, 1m, 30s, 10s). - Elapsed-time mode. Optional toggle to announce 'You are 18 minutes in, 7 left' instead of only 'remaining'. The time-blindness receptor responds better to elapsed than to remaining alone. - Routines, not just timers. Start a morning anchor, a bedtime wind-down, a Pomodoro block, a study session, a leave-the-house countdown, or build your own. Each step has its own spoken cue. - No shame. No streaks. No 'you failed' copy. No gamification guilt. Just a calm narrator that keeps you company. - Real-time interruption handling. The clock keeps running through Siri, phone calls, YouTube. The next scheduled cue plays fresh, never an awkward stale announcement. - Local first. No account. No cloud sync. No tracking. No analytics. Your timer state lives on your phone only. Built for ADHD by people who have it, with line-editing input from an ADHD-PCC therapist. Made by Nice Notions LLC.

Then you see exactly one step — never the whole list of steps. WHY IT WORKS - One step at a time: no wall of tasks, no overwhelm - Tiny by design: every step small enough to start with zero motivation - Energy tags: match steps to the energy you actually have - Home-screen widget: your next step stays visible (out of sight = gone) - Focus timer: make time visible, one step at a time - Gentle reminders: one calm nudge, only between 8:00 and 22:00, never guilt A GARDEN THAT GROWS WITH YOU - Six life areas, six growing plants — every finished step makes one of them grow - Earn sparks as you go, spend them on plant skins and garden decorations - Daily goal and streaks, celebrated properly - A plan view: the next step and the progress per task, never every step at once ADHD GUIDE INCLUDED 24 short, warm reads on executive dysfunction, time blindness, rejection sensitivity, hyperfocus, money and ADHD, and more — each ending in something you can try in the next five minutes.
