The ADHD Timer That Actually Works for Your Brain

Are you tired of productivity apps built for neurotypical brains? You set a standard 15-minute timer for a quick break on Instagram, and suddenly, two hours vanish. This isn't a lack of willpower; it’s time blindness, a core ADHD symptom.

HabiTamer is a focus timer designed specifically for ADHD brains struggling with time blindness, hyperfocus, and executive dysfunction. We don't believe in shaming you. Instead, HabiTamer builds the one thing the ADHD brain needs most: real-time visual awareness.

NEW: ACTIVE APP INTERCEPTION
Stop mindless doom-scrolling before it starts. With our brand-new Intention Intercept feature, HabiTamer pauses the launch of apps that trap your attention (like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube) and asks a simple question: "How much time do you intend to spend here?" You choose your limit—from 5 to 50 minutes—and then the app unlocks. By forcing a moment of conscious choice, you transition from autopilot scrolling to intentional usage.

OVERTIME TRACKING: REVEALING TIME BLINDNESS
Traditional timers stop at zero, beep once, and disappear. But if you ignore that beep, you lose track of time again. HabiTamer doesn't stop at zero. Once your intended time is up, our timer flips into "Overtime Mode" and keeps counting upward. Seeing that you have spent 47 minutes on a "15-minute break" is a powerful, guilt-free visual cue that helps you understand your true time usage patterns.

FLOATING OVERLAY FOR OBJECT PERMANENCE
Out of sight means out of mind for the ADHD brain. HabiTamer uses a persistent, floating bubble that stays visible over your screen while you use other apps. It acts as a continuous anchor to reality, fighting time blindness by keeping your time intention right in front of your eyes.

WHY ADHD BRAINS LOVE HABITAMER:
• Multiple Timers for Task Switching: Run unlimited timers simultaneously—one for work, one for a break, and one for that random side project your brain just thought of.
• Quick Launch for Hyperfocus Control: Launch your most distracting apps directly from HabiTamer with a timer already attached.
• ADHD-Friendly Analytics: See your daily Time Awareness Score, discover your unique hyperfocus patterns, and understand your personal ADHD rhythms.
• No Rigid Blocking: We build awareness, not restriction. Total app blockers trigger the ADHD need for autonomy and often lead to deleting the app. We let you make the choice.

PERFECT FOR:
• Students working with their hyperfocus tendencies, not against them.
• Remote workers needing to separate deep focus time from distraction time.
• Parents wanting to monitor their own screen time and set better boundaries.
• Entrepreneurs who need to see exactly where their hours actually go.
