Aestu: Visual Focus Timer

ADHD, Deep Work & Pomodoro

Free · In‑App Purchases

See time instead of chasing it. A calm visual timer for ADHD, focus and deep work: overtime without guilt, no account, on iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac. Stop counting seconds. Start seeing time. Aestu is a visual focus timer that turns time into a calm, fluid shape. Instead of watching numbers tick down, you can understand your session at a glance and stay focused without the pressure of a conventional countdown. DESIGNED FOR THE WAY YOUR MIND WORKS - Visual time: See time gently empty and refill instead of doing mental math. - Positive Overtime: When a session ends, Aestu keeps counting up without a jarring failure state. - Made for people who struggle to feel time: A clear, low-pressure visual cue, the kind many people with ADHD look for. - Pomodoro and deep work: Choose a preset or create a session that fits your own rhythm. - Energy check-ins: Log how you feel and learn which times of day work best for you. - First small step: Write how to start and Aestu quietly keeps it in view during the session. - Realistic durations: After a few sessions, Aestu suggests the typical length of a task and never changes your timer on its own. - Pressure-free sessions: No red final minute, extra time in a neutral color and gentler notifications. FOCUS EVERYWHERE Start on iPhone, check a Live Activity or widget, and pause, resume or add time from Apple Watch — iPhone and Watch share the session in progress. iCloud keeps your session history in sync across your Apple devices, including Mac. CALM BY DESIGN Fluid animation, semantic colors and gentle haptics provide awareness without a ticking clock or harsh alarm. Your history helps you notice patterns without turning productivity into a scorecard. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL PRO The timer is free to use. Aestu Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: it unlocks your full history, Insights and Calendar export. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account and no behavioral advertising. Your focus data remains on your devices and in your personal iCloud. Whether you are studying, working, having a day when time slips away or entering a deep-work session, Aestu helps make time visible and easier to follow. Download Aestu and turn time into something you can feel.

What's new in 2.5 • A calmer, simpler look with less on screen. • Safer sessions: they are saved before the timer clears and kept until iCloud confirms them. • iPhone and Apple Watch reliably share the running timer, with no leftover timers. • Extra time uses a neutral color in widgets, Live Activity and history. • The optional "first small step" now also works on Apple Watch, and Insights has a new view of your estimates. • More reliable realistic durations: Aestu suggests the typical length of a task and never changes your timer on its own. • Calendar export (Pro) now runs reliably and updates the event when you log your energy. • Spatial Focus is now an optional Lab. • New preference for a session without pressure.
