Grain: Focus Timer

Hourglass focus. Nothing dies.

Free

Meet Monty, the little man in your hourglass. Focus and the sand falls on his umbrella. Keep going and he grows, moves up through five rooms and fills his corner. Grain is a focus timer with a little man in the hourglass. Press Start and Monty walks in through a gap in the glass, opens his umbrella, and the sand begins to fall. When the time is up he bows, dives into the sand and walks home to his corner. Nothing dies. Nobody nags. He just keeps you company. THE SAND IS REAL • Tilt your phone and the sand pours the other way, and he slides with it. • Shake three times to start a focus. • Flow mode: no end time, the sand just keeps falling and every minute counts. • Breaks: after a focus he stretches while the sand goes back up. HE GROWS WITH WHAT YOU FOCUS ON • Study gives him glasses, exercise gives him arms, work a tie, creative a scarf. • Every level adds something to his corner: a lamp, a TV, a plant, a rug. • Five rooms to unlock: living room, classroom, gym, gaming room and basement, each with its own things and its own way of passing the time. • A gift each month, only for focusing that month. Gifts are never sold. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES • Today's jar, your daily goal and your streak. • This week, this month or all time: total, a day on average, your best day and a bar for each kind of focus. • Plan a focus for later or every week, and start it in one tap. A gentle reminder comes at the time you picked. • What works for you: your best time of day and your usual length. • Forgot to start the timer? Add it afterwards. It's honestly marked and earns half. • Share a picture of your week, with no names or tasks in it. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, with Pause and Start buttons. • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • An Apple Watch app: start, pause and end from your wrist. • iPad, upright or sideways. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Start a Study focus in Grain". A Focus filter starts Grain when your Work Focus turns on. • iCloud backup, so a new iPhone brings him back. FOCUS TOGETHER Make a code and share it. Up to four friends sit in each other's glass while you focus; anyone's Start starts it for everyone. No accounts. GRAIN GOLD Grain is free to use.
