Flip it down = Focus. Pick it up = Get roasted. FocusFlip is a focus timer with zero buttons to press. Just put your phone face down on the desk and the timer starts. The moment you pick it up, it stops and roasts you with a cheeky message. WHY FOCUSFLIP Your focus breaks because your phone is in your hand. FocusFlip turns the simplest move, flipping the phone over, into your start switch. No setup, no start button, nothing to remember. 11 SILLY LEVELS TO CLIMB Start as a "Goldfish Brain" and work your way up to "Superhuman Sage". The more you focus in a day, the more secret levels you unlock. ROASTS THAT STING (IN A GOOD WAY) Picked it up too fast? Too often? Focused so long it deserves applause? There's a message ready for every moment, with a sticker to match. COLLECT RIDICULOUS TROPHIES Every level has rewards to collect, from a "Gold Goldfish Medal (fake)" to "A Galaxy in Your Palm". Can you complete the Trophy Hall? LOCK-SCREEN TIMER While your phone is face down, a live timer shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and you get a notification when you hit your daily goal. AMBIENT SOUNDS Rain, ocean waves, campfire, fan or soft brown noise. Keeps playing even when the screen locks. Rain is free; all five come with Pro. PROFILES FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO Reading, work, exam prep: give each one its own goal and see stats per profile. STATS THAT MAKE YOU WANT MORE - Last 7 days chart - Daily goal streak - How many times you picked up your phone today - Your best day ever - Shareable stats card - Forgot to flip?

You know exactly when you have to be out the door. Somewhere between the shower and your shoes, you lose track. outtimer only cares about one time: when you have to leave. It tells you how many minutes are left, out loud, while you're holding a toothbrush, a hair dryer, or a cup of coffee. WHAT IT DOES Set the time you need to leave and tap Start. That's the whole setup. Every 1 to 5 minutes (you choose), you'll hear "12 minutes left." For the last 10 minutes, Final spurt steps it up to every minute, so the deadline never sneaks up on you. When time's up, it rings. FOR WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE WET โข Keeps announcing with the screen off and the app closed โข Turns your music down instead of stopping it, so your podcast keeps playing underneath โข Vibration only, with three distinct patterns, for when someone's still asleep โข Lock Screen widget, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island: see the countdown without unlocking MADE FOR TIME BLINDNESS you just can't feel 20 minutes slipping by, a silent clock won't help. You have to look at it, and looking is exactly what you forget to do. outtimer tells you instead. PRESETS Weekday mornings, gym nights, the school run. Each preset saves its own deadline, interval, and sound or vibration. Repeat it on the days you choose, or use it once and it turns itself off.
