Meltimer turns focus time into something you can actually see. Instead of staring at a plain countdown, watch a block of ice melt away, a candle burn down, an hourglass empty, or a plant grow — all in real time, synced to your focus session. It's a small shift that makes deep work feel less like a chore and more like something worth watching through. WHY MELTIMER Most timers just count numbers. Meltimer gives your focus time a visual, almost meditative form — so you actually want to stay locked in until it's done.
