About this app

Untether is a deep work timer built on the Pomodoro Technique.

When your session ends, the screen turns on and a loud alarm rings. A popup appears with three buttons — Stop, Next, Snooze — so you can move on without unlocking your phone.

Snooze adds a few extra minutes if you're still in flow.

You can also pause, resume, and skip sessions from the notification while the timer runs in the background.

DEEP WORK & FOCUS

Untether helps you do focused, uninterrupted work. Set a work session, put the phone down, and the timer does the rest. When it's time for a break, you'll know — the alarm is loud enough that you won't miss it.

POMODORO TECHNIQUE

The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused sessions (usually 25 minutes) followed by short breaks. After a set number of sessions, you take a longer break. This method helps maintain concentration and prevents burnout during deep work and study sessions.
