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.

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.

Mac

Floats over your windows, with no window around it. Resize it, move it, lock it so clicks pass through.

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.

  1. Set the minutes

    Drag the edge of the disc to the minute you want, or tap a preset. It snaps to whole minutes.

  2. Watch it shrink

    Half a disc is half your time. A sliver means wrap it up.

  3. 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 Coming Soon

    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 Coming Soon

    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.

Your color.

Pick the disc. The bezel and the C follow. Seven presets now; custom colors come with ClearTime Plus.

The same timer as the one at the top of the page.

The beta runs through TestFlight, Apple's app for testing new apps, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
