Authentic Timer

A clean timer with no fluff—born from personal necessity

November 2024: While managing a sickness that limited my daily quality of life, I needed to manage my time carefully in the few hours I could focus. I searched for a clean, uncluttered timer that felt safe—but kept jumping between apps instead of having one productivity hub.

That's when I conceived an "authentic timer"—helping me prepare focused sessions of 25, 30, 45, or 50 minutes to tackle books, emails, paperwork, with everything listed and timeboxed.

8 months later: After collecting feedback and studying productivity, the nervous system, and ADHD, it became something I was proud to share with the world.
