One full session a day, free. No ads. Nothing sells to you while the timer is running. There is no monthly plan.
What it is
- A 25-minute focus session with a 5-minute break, free every day, reset at midnight. It runs to the end — it is never cut short.
- Four instrumental sounds. No talking.
- Streak-shaming is off by default, and stays off.
- No account, ever. Nothing here asks who you are. (A few anonymous product events go to PostHog in the EU — named in the privacy policy, not hidden.)
What it is not, honestly
- No offline downloads — only the bundled sounds play without a connection.
- The sound library is small.
- The free tier is one session a day, at one length.
- The music is AI-generated (instrumental, licensed for commercial use).
If you only want free study music, a YouTube playlist genuinely works and costs nothing. This is for people who want the timer and the quiet.
Premium
Longer sessions — 50/10, 90/15, or your own — and as many a day as you like. US$11.99 a year, or US$24.99 once. There is no monthly plan: the subscription people forget to cancel is the thing we decided not to sell. Cancel in one tap, from inside the app.
