About

Feltime

Features
Read full description

Most timers give you one alarm at the end. Feltime lets you actually feel time passing. Built for ADHD and time blindness, Feltime fills the screen with a calm, beautiful view of time draining away, plus gentle interval chimes so you sense the minutes without staring at numbers. Three ways to use it: - Focus block: set a duration and watch it drain to zero. - Awareness: a gentle count-up that taps you on the shoulder ("you have been at this 20 minutes") so you never lose the thread. - Ambient: a quiet presence on your desk, no goal, just time made visible. Designed to be calm, never stressful. Muted, cool colors. Slow, smooth motion. No flashing, no guilt, no broken-streak shame. Honors Reduce Motion and gives you brightness control. Pay once. No subscription. No account. Nothing leaves your device. The free app is complete: all three modes, the Drain Ring style, the Tide palette, soft chimes, and preset durations. The one-time unlock ($6.99) adds: - 20 more visual styles (liquid, sand, candle, orbit, analog, and more) - 19 more calm color palettes - Statistics: your focus calendar, streaks (forgiving, never punishing), and trends - Achievement badges - Premium sounds and gentle haptics - Custom durations and intervals - Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and the Home Screen widget Feel time, gently.
