Creative Command locks you into a focus session and pauses the timer when you go idle, making progress mandatory.
Unlike most focus apps, Creative Command prioritizes consistent effort over passive time, meaning you can't just run out the clock. The Engagement Timer ensures your sessions reflect actual effort by automatically pausing the timer the moment you stop working. You can tailor the timer to your exact workflow by setting custom inactivity intervals, tracking specific inputs like keystrokes or various mouse activity.
Use your favorite distractions as motivation to get work done. The only way to unlock your digital downtime is to put in the actual effort and finish the session. Want to scroll? You'll have to earn it.
How it works:
1. Pick what matters: Block distracting apps and websites or allow only what you need.
2. Set your session: Choose a duration that fits your flow, then set an idle threshold to pause the timer when no activity is detected. Decide how strict the session is and whether you can end it early (or not).
3. Start or schedule the session: Manually start a session anytime from the menu bar with the free plan, perfect for when you’re feeling motivated.
Don’t want to wait around for motivation to strike? Creative Command Plus lets you schedule sessions that start automatically, so you can stick to a routine and build habits that last.
4. Stay with the work: The timer only runs when you’re active. Go idle, and it pauses. No shortcuts. No running out the clock.
5. Make real progress: The block lifts when the session ends, and the session ends when the work is real.
No AI. No signups. No data collection.
