Vibr is a Pomodoro timer for vibe coders, developers and PMs who jump between projects all day. It lives in your menu bar. No giant window stealing your screen, no browser tab to lose. Just a clean countdown that tells you when to focus and when to breathe. — THE VIBE — Built around one principle: productivity tools should respect that you already have 12 windows open. Terminal-inspired dark UI, JetBrains Mono everywhere, signal-only orange. Minimal by design. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. Pick 2-3 tasks for your next 25-minute focus session 2. Hit Start Vibr. The timer moves to the menu bar. 3. Work. The countdown is there if you need to glance. 4. Bell rings. Take a 5-minute break. 5. Repeat. Stack pomos. End the day with real stats. — FEATURES — • Menu bar timer that ticks even with the window closed • Tasks organized by Project as tags (no hierarchy, no kanban) • Today list for daily focus plus persistent To Do for everything else • Move tasks between To Do, Today and Done with one click • Search across all tasks by title • Rich text descriptions per task: bold, italic, underline, links, lists • Paste screenshots directly into a task description • Detach any task into a resizable standalone window • Repeat task: recreates an open copy automatically when you complete it • Quick links per task: paste a GitHub PR URL, click to open • Custom Pomodoro durations (5 to 90 min focus, 1 to 30 min break) • Long break every Nth pomo (default 4), configurable • Sound notifications at focus and break end • End of Day report: time per project, pomos done, carryover tasks • Native Apple performance, around 4 MB on disk • Light and dark appearance respected • 10 languages, auto-detected from system • Apple Watch companion: glance at the timer on your wrist — SYNC — Tasks, projects and pomos sync between your devices via iCloud. Private, encrypted, no third-party servers. Your identity is your Apple ID. No signup, no password. — PRIVACY — Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud. We don't have analytics tracking individual users. We don't have an ad SDK. We don't see your tasks. Period. — BUILT FOR — • Developers shipping multiple side projects • Designers context-switching between client work • Indie hackers running a portfolio of bets • Anyone who wants to feel the focus without configuring 47 fields — WHAT IT'S NOT — Not a task manager replacing Things or Todoist. Not a Kanban board. Not collaborative. Not a time-tracking SaaS. It's a Pomodoro timer that respects your aesthetic and gets out of the way. Built by a vibe coder, for vibe coders.

One round, one thing. Roundi holds you to a single task and shows the time as color: focus you can see. Turn the dial, press start, and a disc of color begins to disappear — like a kitchen timer for your attention. No numbers counting down, no notifications pulling you back. Just time, visibly running out. THE ONE RULE Leave the app — or lock the screen — before the round ends, and the round is lost, instantly. That's the whole trick: Roundi doesn't block anything, it just makes leaving cost something. (Too strict? There's a Lenient mode.) MADE FOR YOUR RITUALS • Meditate — 15 quiet minutes, watching the color fade • Study — a 50-minute block with no pings • Work — deep work sessions up to 2 hours • Train — planks, dead hangs, rest between sets Save each ritual as a tag and it becomes a one-tap start button with its own duration. SAY IT, DON'T TAP IT "Start Plank in Roundi." Between rounds, Siri sets the length, starts a tag, adds another round, or tells you your streak. Hands free — and once a round starts, nothing interrupts you. ON YOUR WRIST Roundi runs on Apple Watch too. Turn the Digital Crown, tap START, and the color sweeps away on your wrist; a tap and a chime mark the end. Watch rounds land in your iPhone's calendar, Siri works on the watch, and one rule carries over: unlock your iPhone during a watch round and the round ends. A TIMER YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT Choose how time drains: a clockwise disc, a color that falls or rises across the whole screen, or a spiral coil that unwinds from the outside in. Six soft colors. A chime and a soft blink of color when the round completes. EVERY ROUND, KEPT Finished rounds land as dots on your calendar, with your daily total and streak. Time becomes habit; habit becomes you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your rounds stay on your device. Set a time. Stay focused. One round at a time.
