Classic retro look with a matrix of lit dots. Every second a dot blinks — a timer you can feel as much as read.

Why people keep it open

Builtforthewayyouactuallywork.

Menu-bar native

Lives quietly in your menu bar. Always visible, never in the way.

One-click start

Tap to start. Tap to pause. Right-click to reset. Nothing to configure.

Custom presets

5, 10, 25, or 45-minute sessions. Or dial in your own.

Focus-first

No notifications. No accounts. No sync. Just the timer.

Pomodoro built-in

Start a 4-session Pomodoro with one tap. Short breaks included.

macOS native

Built with SwiftUI. Runs beautifully on Apple Silicon and Intel.
