Start from the line you left

Free · In‑App Purchases

The hardest part isn't focusing. It's starting again. baton. asks you to leave exactly one line when a session ends: "The first thing to do when I'm back." Next time you open the app, that line fills the screen instead of a timer. Past me · 14h ago. Tap the sentence, and you've already started. ■ For you if · You lose ten minutes to "where was I?" every time you sit back down · You've measured focus time, but starting again was always the hard part · You're tired of to-do backlogs and streak pressure ■ How baton. works · Baton — the one handoff line you always leave when a session ends · Baton time — not total focus time, but how long it takes to get back to work · Tracks — a separate baton for each lane: work, a side project, study (Full Track) · Lock screen and home widgets — your last baton is always in view · Live Activity — a running session on your lock screen and Dynamic Island ■ What's not here No to-do lists, no streaks, no cheering notifications, no "come back" pushes. No exclamation marks. No scolding. Time is shown honestly, and that's all. ■ Privacy No account, no server. Every record stays on your device. No data is collected. ■ Free and Full Track Batons, the timer, widgets, and Live Activity are all free. Full Track (a one-time purchase, not a subscription) opens multiple tracks, your full history, themes and app icons, and every feature still to come. Hemingway used to stop mid-sentence to end his day. We made an app out of that one idea. — beside Co.
