About this app

Stop doom-scrolling. Start living.

You come home, sit down, and suddenly two hours have vanished into short videos. Sound familiar? FiveMinStart breaks that cycle with one simple rule: just commit to 5 minutes.

WAIT — ONLY 5 MINUTES?
Yes. Starting is the hardest part. FiveMinStart removes the friction by asking for just 5 minutes of your time. Pick an activity, start the timer, and see what happens. Most people keep going.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose an activity — reading, exercise, music, writing, or create your own
2. Tap "Start 5 Minutes" — a beautiful countdown timer begins
3. Timer ends — decide to keep going or switch to something else
4. Track your streak — see how many days in a row you chose something meaningful

FEATURES
• Beautiful SVG countdown timer with animations
• 6 preset activities + create your own custom activities
• Daily streak tracking with fire counter
• Achievement badges (8 milestones to unlock)
• Weekly stats with completion rate
• Monthly calendar heatmap
• Post-session summary with sharing
• Activity prep reminders to reduce friction

PRO FEATURES ($2.99 one-time unlock)
• Unlimited custom activities (free: 3)
• Adjustable timer duration: 1–30 minutes (free: 5 min only)
• Full history & advanced statistics (free: 7 days)
• Dark mode
• Data export (JSON/CSV)
• Cloud backup & sync (coming soon)

WHY FIVEMINSTART WORKS
The "5-minute rule" is backed by behavioral psychology. By lowering the commitment barrier to just 5 minutes, you bypass the resistance that keeps you on the couch. Once you start, momentum takes over — and before you know it, you've spent 30 minutes reading, exercising, or creating.

BUILT FOR
• College students who lose evenings to social media
• Young professionals who want to reclaim after-work time
• Anyone trying to build better daily habits
• People who know what they should do but struggle to start

PRIVACY FIRST
All your data stays on your device. No accounts required. No tracking. No ads. Ever.

Start your 5 minutes today. Your future self will thank you.
