About this app

PinMind is a Pomodoro focus timer and app blocker for work, study and exam prep. Set your focus hours once, and PinMind blocks distracting apps while calls and the apps you choose keep working. No account, no ads, and it works fully offline.

Made for remote workers, students preparing for exams, and anyone who loses an hour to "just one quick check".

FOCUS TIMER
• Pomodoro sessions with your own work, short break and long break lengths
• Use it as a study timer, a deep work timer or a simple focus timer
• Auto-start the next interval, or start each one yourself
• Link a session to a task and work toward its daily time goal
• Optional focus music: raga, piano and ambient tracks
• The timer keeps running when you leave the app, and a notification tells you when to switch

APP BLOCKER AND SCHEDULED FOCUS HOURS
• Office hours or study hours: pick apps and time windows, such as weekdays 9 to 5 or every evening, and PinMind blocks them automatically
• Strict mode: distracting apps are covered by a "back to focus" screen until the session ends
• Gentle mode: a quick nudge instead of a block, if you prefer
• Calls and the dialer always work, and you choose which other apps stay allowed

DAILY TASKS
• Give each task or subject a daily time goal and track it with a start and pause timer
• One-off, daily or chosen weekdays, with an optional start time and reminder
• See what's done and what's left today, or jump to any date

HEALTHY BREAKS
• Water reminders with an "I drank" button right in the notification
• Eye-rest (20-20-20) and stretch reminders for long screen days
• A wind-down nudge before bed, plus your own custom reminders
• Guided breathing: box, 4-7-8, coherent or your own pattern, with an animated circle, voice cues and vibration

STATS AND STREAKS
• Today's focus minutes, Pomodoros, water and breathing
• Weekly chart, 10-week heatmap and streaks
• Distraction-free rate for the last 30 days
• Export all your data to CSV at any time

QUESTIONS
Do I need an account? No. There is no sign-up, and everything is stored on your phone.
Does it work offline? Yes. PinMind has no internet permission, no ads and no analytics.
Will it block my calls? No. Calls and the dialer always work, and you pick the other allowed apps.
Can I use it for exam preparation? Yes. Students use the study timer, daily subject goals and study hours for exams like UPSC, NEET, JEE, CA, SAT or the bar exam.

PERMISSIONS
Strict mode and scheduled focus hours use Usage Access (to see which app is open) and Display over other apps (to show the focus screen). Both are optional, are used only while a session or schedule is active, and nothing leaves your device.
