New: Halloween sidekicks
A visual timer for ADHD and time blindness
See how much time you have left.
The disc shrinks as the minutes pass. You know where you stand without reading a number, or remembering to check.
Free on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Android is coming soon. No account.
Your timer
Drag the edge of the disc, or focus it and use the arrow keys.
Everywhere you work.
One timer, kept by the clock, on whichever screen you're looking at. Every device here shows the timer from the top of the page.
iPhone
A widget that is the timer, on your wallpaper. The Dynamic Island keeps it in view; a Live Activity keeps it on the Lock Screen.
Apple Watch
Set it with the Digital Crown. Glance at your wrist, or at the complication on your watch face.
Apple TV
The timer at room scale, readable from the couch or the kitchen. Set it with the Siri Remote.
-
Accurate through sleep.
Worked out from the clock, not a counter. Close the lid; it's still right.
-
No account.
Open it and set a time. That's the whole setup.
-
In sync.
One timer, on whichever screen you happen to be looking at.
Time you can see.
The disc is the time you have left. There is nothing to read and no math to do.
-
Set the minutes
Drag the edge of the disc to the minute you want, or tap a preset. It snaps to whole minutes.
-
Watch it shrink
Half a disc is half your time. A sliver means wrap it up.
-
Hear it end
A sound you chose, a notification and an empty face. Nothing flashes, and nothing turns red.
Built for ADHD.
With time blindness, the minutes don't register until they're gone. A disc that shrinks sits in the corner of your eye, and you simply know. It is not a task manager.
-
Blocks
Chain timers: 25 on, 5 off, four times, then a long break. The break runs in its own color and finished blocks tally up for the day.
-
Just Five
The hardest part is starting. One tap starts a five-minute timer; when it ends, +5 keeps you going without deciding anything.
-
Distraction notes
A thought arrives mid-block. Jot one line without leaving the timer, and get the list back when the block ends.
-
Heads-up
A soft haptic or tick at five minutes and one minute left, for when the corner of your eye isn't enough.
A note from the maker
I have ADHD. What keeps me on task is seeing time as a shape that shrinks while I work, not a clock I have to remember to check. I built ClearTime to put that shape on every screen I own. If your brain works like mine, I hope it does the same for you.
Daniel Hayes Smith Maker of ClearTime
Your color.
Pick the disc. The bezel and the C follow. Seven presets now; custom colors come with ClearTime Plus.
Tide
Or a sidekick
Meet the sidekicks.
A sidekick takes the place of the hand. It sits in the middle of the timer and turns as the time runs down. Each timer shows a color or a sidekick, and you pick either one on every device.

Questions.
The things people ask before they download. Anything else, ask support.
Is ClearTime free?
Yes. The timer, the floating Mac timer, widgets, Apple Watch, Apple TV, the seven colors and the Cloud and Unicorn sidekicks are free. The Halloween sidekick pack is a one-time purchase, and ClearTime Plus is $19.99 a year.
Do I need an account?
No. Open ClearTime and set a time. Your timers stay on your devices.
Can I buy a sidekick pack without Plus?
Yes. Buy a pack like Halloween once and keep it. It unlocks on all your devices, and Family Sharing shares it with your family. Plus includes every pack, now and to come.
What happens if I stop paying for Plus?
Plus stays on until the end of the year you paid for. Then Routines, Distraction notes, custom colors and the packs that came with Plus lock again. Packs you bought on their own stay yours, and your history keeps recording on your devices, ready if you come back.
Will the sound play when my iPhone is on silent?
Yes. The sound you chose plays even when your iPhone is on silent, like the Clock app's alarms.
Does it follow Reduce Motion?
Yes. With Reduce Motion on, the disc steps once a second instead of moving smoothly. This site does the same, and the film doesn't play by itself.
The same timer as the one at the top of the page.
Try ClearTime on your own screens.
Free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
Android is coming soon.
