A calm focus timer with an app blocker. Every minute you focus moves your ship toward the next planet. Pick 15 to 90 minutes, in steps of five. Choose which apps stay out. Hold the button to start. BLOCK WHAT PULLS YOU AWAY Choose the apps and websites to keep out for the length of a session. Quiet Orbit uses Apple's Screen Time system, so only what you choose is blocked, and only while a session runs. The block lifts on its own timer, so access comes back at the end whatever happens to the app in between. Blocking is optional, and the timer works the same with it off. PROGRESS THAT LASTS Eleven destinations, from Earth orbit out to Pluto. Every focused minute counts toward the next one, whether you sit down daily or once a week. Come back after a month away and the route is exactly where you left it. End a session early and the minutes you focused are kept. 238 THINGS TO FIND Finished sessions turn up things to keep: objects brought aboard, records from the places you reach, and the sound of eleven worlds. Each one has its own name and story. Put your favorites on show in the ship, with two of them beside you in the cockpit every time you fly. Thirty badges mark the milestones. YOUR SHIP, YOUR COLORS Focused time earns new paints, engine lights and ships. Every world you finish adds its colors, your ship picks up others in flight, and badges bring more. Paint the hull, wings and trim the way you like, while new ships take shape one session at a time. SEE YOUR PATTERNS An honest record of the work: focused time over the past week, the hours of the day you finish most often, and your longest sessions. WHAT'S INCLUDED Earth orbit and the Moon, every session length, app blocking, protected breaks, reminders, your streak, every badge, your ship with the paints and ships you earn, and your history come with the app. Quiet Orbit Premium adds the other nine worlds and their sounds, two more ships, seven gradient paints, places to dock your ship and a name of your own for it, the view from outside while you focus, unlimited saved setups, private notes, every widget, and trends across weeks and months. Quiet Orbit protects one stretch of attention at a time. Your progress stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, and the apps you choose to block stay inside Apple's Screen Time, and only there. iPhone only. Requires iOS 18 or later. Made by Zeus Apps B.V. in the Netherlands. QUIET ORBIT PREMIUM Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. A subscription renews itself unless you turn that off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
