TIMEGLOW • VISUAL FOCUS TIMER

Focus without watching the clock.

TimeGlow is a visual focus timer that helps you stay aware of time without constantly checking a countdown. Use simple color cues, focus sequences, Glance Mode, suggested focus routines, and TimeGlow Live to keep your attention on what you’re doing—not on the timer.

Stay focused

Spend less time checking a countdown and more time working on the task in front of you.

See time at a glance

Green, yellow, and red visual stages make the passage of time easy to understand without staring at numbers.

Build your rhythm

Combine focus periods and breaks into reusable sequences that match the way you work.

WHY TIMEGLOW

A different way to stay aware of time

Traditional timers ask you to keep checking numbers. TimeGlow turns time into something you can understand at a glance, helping you stay aware of where you are without interrupting what you’re doing.

Frequently asked questions

What is TimeGlow?

TimeGlow is a visual focus timer for iPhone and Android that uses changing visual cues to help you stay aware of time without continually checking a countdown.

How is TimeGlow different from a Pomodoro timer?

TimeGlow can be used for Pomodoro-style work and break sessions, but it is built around visual awareness of time rather than requiring you to continuously watch a numerical countdown. You can also create custom focus sequences instead of using a fixed work-and-break cycle.

Can I hide the countdown timer?

Yes. Glance Mode lets you keep the numerical countdown out of view and briefly reveal it when you want to check the exact remaining time.

Can I show TimeGlow on another screen?

Yes. TimeGlow Live lets you display an active focus session in a web browser on another device or display.

Can TimeGlow help me build a focus routine?

Yes. Tell TimeGlow what you want to accomplish and it can suggest a focus sequence with timed steps and breaks to help you get started.

Is TimeGlow available on iPhone and Android?
