About

Burn Timer

Features
Read full description

Burn Timer is a focus timer for work, study, and deep work. Choose a Single Focus session or Pomodoro mode, set your time, commit, and start focusing. Your focused time doesn’t disappear when the timer reaches zero. Sessions of 5 minutes or more earn Sparks β€” and longer focus can earn more. Use your Sparks to light stars across your Sky and turn time spent concentrating into something you can actually see. Every completed session also builds your Focus Mastery. Move through 13 levels, keep your daily streak alive, and watch consistent focus turn into long-term progress. Built for focused sessions - Single Focus and customizable Pomodoro modes - Adjustable focus time, breaks, and Pomodoro rounds - Sparks and an interactive Sky - 13 Focus Mastery levels - Daily streaks and session history - Today and all-time focus statistics - Quiet Mode with subtle ambient sounds - Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported devices - 9 visual themes, including 3 free themes Go deeper with Burn Timer Pro Unlock all themes, Focus Tags for Work, Study, and Hobby, advanced statistics, longer history ranges, charts, focus distribution, and trends. Pro also removes ads. Free users can also preview a Pro theme for one focus session through an optional rewarded ad. Burn Timer is made for one thing: helping you spend more time focused β€” and making that progress visible. Burn Timer Terms of Use (https://burntimer.bluetiger-development.com/terms-of-use/) work alongside Apple’s Standard EULA (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) and applicable App Store terms.
